The final round of the home and away season kicks off at Subiaco, where Fremantle will host the Magpies. Dockers’ skipper Mathew Pavlich has been ruled out of the match due to a foot injury.
While Saturday's match has no incentive for the 13th-placed Power, North Melbourne will look to bounce back from a 33-point loss to Geelong before they meet them again. A win will secure the Kangaroos fourth place and the all important double chance in the finals.
The Cats have won a staggering 39 of their past 41 matches and should make that 40 from 42 this week when they play the Eagles at home. The Cats will head into the finals as the shortest-priced premiership favourite in history.
Tyson Edwards believes the Crows are capable of turning their fortunes around against the Western Bulldogs on Saturday if they can rediscover the intensity, defensive pressure and confidence that has seen the club win four of its past five games.
Fans at the Carlton/Hawthorn clash may get to invade the pitch twice. Brendan Fevola needs 8 goals and Lance Franklin 2 to reach the 100 goal milestone. The Lions have not beaten the Swans since round one of 2004, but Saturday night’s clash at the SCG could be the best opportunity for some time – with Paul Roos’ side having lost four of its last five games.
Adam Yze and Jeff White will both play their final games for the Demons this Sunday when the team takes on Richmond for the Round 22 encounter at the MCG. Essendon will say goodbye to Adam Ramanauskas, Jason Johnson, Mal Michael and Damien Peverill, when they play their last game for the club on Sunday against the Saints.
