For the final game of the round its the biggest one yet. Not only is it 'The Big Freeze' but it's Collingwood v Melbourne at the MCG.

Certainty and why: I can't believe what I'm doing, but the Eagles ... yes, the West Coast Eagles, are my certainties this week. At home, against the woeful Kangaroos, they should prove far too strong.
Upset and why: If we're going on form, the Hawks should be favoured to beat the Giants on Saturday afternoon. They've won five of their last seven (and it really should have been six of seven)! Meanwhile, after a fast start, the Giants have just one win since the start of May.
Tips for the week:
Adelaide vs. Richmond
Western Bulldogs vs. Brisbane
Hawthorn vs. GWS
West Coast vs. North Melbourne
St Kilda vs. Gold Coast
Sydney vs. Geelong
Essendon vs. Carlton
Collingwood vs. Melbourne

Certainty and why: Crows are at home this week right? Then it's them...
Upset and why: I'm going to get sucked in to the Hawks and their form unfortunately. They could definitely cause a Tassie boilover.

Certainty and why: This is the first week where there may genuinely be no real 'certainty', but I'm fairly confident in the Blues and Swans getting wins, despite what look like 'difficult' opponents on paper.
Upset and why: The Suns just don't win away from home, so I'll be tipping the Saints (especially if Max King is deemed fit to play).
