The round kicks off with Fremantle hosting the Magpies, in what looms as a massive match between two sides coming off a loss. Also headlining this week's games is Gold Coast hosting the Western Bulldogs and the Showdown on Saturday night, and the Geelong-GWS contest taking place at GMHBA Stadium.

Our experts share all of their wisdom with you to help guide your tipping.

EXPERT TIPS:

Jake Michaels

Certainty and why: I don't buy the Demons' three-game win streak at all and firmly expect the Hawks to send them crashing back down to earth.

Upset and why: I'm picking a few of them this week but let's go with the Giants as the 'upset of the week'. They have a great record against the Cats in Geelong and this very much feels like a get-back-on-track spot.

Matt Walsh

Certainty and why: Brisbane is the biggest certainty this week, in a tough week for tipping.

Upset and why: At the time of writing this, Gold Coast is the outsider against the Bulldogs. In Darwin, I like the Suns.

Jarryd Barca

Certainty and why: There's nothing to suggest the Roos can handle Brisbane's attack. Maybe the Tassie weather can, but the Lions should be too strong nonetheless.

Upset and why: Freo. Backs against the wall, they won't play like they did last week for the rest of the season. Pies off a five-day break and expected to rest a few, this is a massive chance for Justin Longmuir and his side to make amends.

Christian Joly (Champion Data)

Certainty and why: The Suns are currently listed as the underdogs, but they've won six in a row in Darwin, so how could you tip against them?

Upset and why: Brisbane. Tassie is a long way from home but that won't matter, they'll be too good for the Kangaroos.
