AFL Round 19 – Tips and Preview

The Geelong Cats look to be in trouble in 2026, winning only one of their last six matches, and will have to play without Jeremy Cameron, who is a massive absence.

Saints veteran midfielder Bradley Hill has had 39, 43 and 37 disposals in his past three weeks since taking on a bigger ball-handling role in the absence of Jack Sinclair.

Sam Berry has had 20 or more disposals in nine of his last ten games and inside midfielders perform well against the Sydney Swans.

Adelaide’s games against top-eight teams have been low-scoring, with six of seven going under.

Josh Treacy is living up to his potential with seven goals in his last two games, including four against Sydney last week.

The Fremantle Dockers have won 15 of their past 16 matches and are on track to put together a massive performance against the Power.

Max Gawn has kicked two in two of his last four games and the match-up could not be better this week.

Melbourne games have been the third highest scoring in the competition this year, averaging 189 points and these teams have a history of high-scoring contests with 13 of their last 16 going over.

The Collingwood Magpies have won eight of their last nine games against Carlton, which is a dominant record in the heated rivalry between the two sides.

Daniel McStay comes off consecutive three-goal games and will need a big performance to help the Magpies get over the Blues.

West Coast has an awful record against teams riding a winning streak (0-24) so there isn’t great hopes for them on Saturday.

Will Ashcroft has kicked two or more goals in his past four matches and is great value to terrorise the Eagles defence this weekend.

Mabior Chol has kicked 13 goals from his last five matches and he will look to add at least two more this weekend.

Richmond has done well to be competitive over the past two weeks without Tom Lynch scoring any goals. However, expect him to bounce back with at least two goals this weekend.

Marcus Bontempelli has two two-goals games from his last five matches including last week where has been one of the side’s most dominant individuals.

It’s hard to place a bet on the Gold Coast Suns considering that they haven’t won any of their past seven matches. Meanwhile, their opponents have three wins from their last five games.

After not kicking a goal last week, Toby Greene will look to come out of the gates on the front foot, which will give his confidence a much-needed boost after not kicking a single goal last week.

The Essendon Bombers have lost their last 20 matches in Victoria and playing at home doesn’t help their cause this weekend.
