The previous weekend saw few surprises and almost no changes in the overall standings after a cold and wet weekend meant some teams struggled to score while others showed their class in any conditions.
Friday night football come to you live from Etihad Stadium as two of the oldest teams in the AFL do battle.
The Essendon Bombers host the cellar dwellers the Melbourne Demons in an all out grudge match that should see plenty of fire and big hits.
Essendon have been consistently inconsistent this year with big wins and shock losses while the Demons are stuck in first gear at the bottom of the table.
Any punter would be a fool to tip against the Bombers in this encounter and after a sixty point loss to Collingwood last week, the Demons will almost certainly not measure up.
The Sydney Swans host Collingwood in a classic encounter at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night and history dictates that the Magpies should have little trouble overcoming their opponents.
Sydney fans have been disappointed to see Collingwood take the points not only in regular season fixtures, but two back to back finals appearances and they will do well to suppress the Pies who have won three on the trot while the Swans Languish outside the top eight.

To finish off the split round, Fremantle travel to Geelong to meet the almost unbeatable cats at Skilled Stadium.
Despite winning by just one point in the same encounter last year, Geelong are deservingly $1.06 favourites at home on a Sunday arvo so this one is a no brainer.
