AFL Round 4 – Tips and Preview

The Brisbane Lions rarely tag players meaning Nick Daicos will be free to roam around the midfield and should be able to do exactly what he does racking up possessions with ease.

Brisbane has only just won eight of their past 13 matches at home and has continually struggled with injuries this season. However, don’t expect the margin of their loss to be above 40 points.

The Carlton Blues always manage to start the match strong before falling off in the second-half and the same can be expected this week against the Kangaroos.

Kangaroos midfielder Harry Sheezel has recorded 30 or more dispoals in seven consecutive matches and is won the best scorers when it comes to AFL Fantasy.

Fremantle Dockers midfielder Andrew Brayshaw is one of the best-performing players when it comes to the AFL Fantasy competition and regularly racks up over 110 fantasy points, week in, week out.

Fremantle may be considered the outsiders, but the club have won their past two matches and heads to Adelaide Oval filled with confidence against the Crows.

While Port Adelaide only rely on a couple of players to bag their goals – Mitch Georgiades and Jack Whitlock – the Tigers share around the goals among the playing group.

Don’t be surprised if the Richmond Tigers get one over their opponents this weekend. Although the Power are the favourites, they have lost two of their past three matches against West Coast and North Melbourne.

Brought in from Carlton, key forward Charlie Curnow has had a rough start to his career at the Sydney Swans and will he be looking to turn things around against an inexperienced and inconsistent Eagles back-line.

The West Coast Eagles have won two of their past three matches but their winning streak is unlikely to continue against the Swans. Instead, they are likely to lose but will get close within the margin

The Gold Coast Suns have won their past three matches and arguable one of the most in-form teams in the AFL competition at the moment to begin the 2026 campaign.

No matter the result and if the Melbourne Demons are to win or lose, ruck Max Gawn continually racks up points in AFL Fantasy with ease and is regarded as the game’s top ruckmen alongside Tim English.

With a massive win looming for the Bulldogs, expect the club’s forwards to generate plenty of opportunities in the forward 50 – in particular, Aaron Naughton.

It is a foregone conclusion that the Western Bulldogs will walk away victorious this week, the only question is to how many points they will end up winning the match by.
