AFL Round 16 – Tips and Preview

Brisbane have conceded three or more goals to a tall forward in five of their last six matches, so expect Logan McDonald to have a field day in the forward line, who has scored two or more goals in six of his last seven.

The Swans get a massive boost to their midfield with Errol Gulden making his return this week and expect him to make an immediate impact after spending significant time on the sidelines.

The Hawks have won their last three against Gold Coast, St Kilda and Adelaide and haven’t done much wrong over the last few weeks – and they will be eager to do the same against the Giants.

Nick Watson has been in red-hot form for the Hawks as of late, scoring three goals in his last three matches.

After only kicking a single goal against the GWS Giants, Harry McKay is bound to bounce back by kicking at least two or more goals – and potentially even more.

George Hewitt has kicked a goal in each of his last four matches and should be able to get around the Eagles’ defence with ease.

Sam Swadling had a dream debut for the Magpies last week, which saw him kick a goal, and you can expect him to go back-to-back this weekend.

While Richmond has been one of the most disappointing teams of the competition, their last two losses have come by the 1-39 margin. Meanwhile, the Magpies haven’t been able to beat teams by large margins.

The Adelaide Crows are currently on a 6-0 run at the Adelaide Oval and it’s hard to imagine them losing this week to Port Adelaide.

Josh Rachiele has kicked seven goals in his last two matches and is in formidable form at the moment.

Scoring four goals against Richmond, Cooper Trembath had the ball on a string last week and should at least kick two more against the struggling Essendon Bombers.

The Kangaroos have recorded three wins in their last four matches and while they’re not a hard team to beat, the Bombers are incredibly inconsistent.

Josh Treacy is in the best form of his career at the moment and has recorded 13 goals from his last five matches.

The Fremantle Dockers are riding a 13-match winning streak and it’s unlikely to end against the Suns especially since they’re playing at home in Western Australia.
