AFL Round 9 – Tips and Preview

Nick Watson has kicked nine goals in his last three matches, and Fremantle has been vulnerable against small forwards in recent weeks.

The Dockers are an amazing first-quarter side and hold a record of 6-2 this season in the opening 20 minutes.

Coming off a stellar showing against Essendon, which saw him kick four goals, Zac Bailey has made it seven goals in his previous two matches.

It may be a big line for the Brisbane Lions to cover, but based on how Carlton has played this season, they are riding a long losing streak and have underperformed each week.

Under pressure, the Bulldogs need to rely on their star players. Failing to turn anything into victories recently, expect a massive showing in the midfield by Marcus Bontempelli.

They may have lost their past four matches, but expect the Bulldogs to turn things around this week as Port Adelaide tends to find ways to lose.

Combining for 137 points in their last meeting and 172 the time before, expect it to be a low-scoring encounter between the Kangaroos and Sydney Swans.

Swans ruckman Brodie Grundy has recorded 20 or more disposals in four of his last five matches and had 26 disposals last week against Melbourne.

While the Giants are the favourites to win the match, the Bombers should be good enough to keep the margin to a minimum and will remain competitive throughout the contest.

Kyle Langford has been in good form recently and will look to repeat this on the weekend to try and help the Bombers remain competitive.

Playing at their home venue, the Gold Coast Suns are near unbeatable and expect an easy victory in their favour this weekend.

Ben King has continually been the Suns best in their forward 50 and isn’t afraid to kick multiple goals in a single match.

In what could easily be the ‘Match of the Round’, the win could go either way but the Geelong are a tiny step ahead of their opponents and will look for a sensational win.

With the Geelong Cats favourite to win the contest, Jeremy Cameron will be eager to have a strong performance in the forward 50 and land a big bag of goals against the Magpies.

Don’t be surprised to see a big victory from the Melbourne Demons this weekend as they host the West Coast Eagles who are known for struggling away from their home state in Western Australia.

Max Gawn is Mr.Reliable when it comes to AFL Fantasy and rack up points with ease in the midfield and across the entire field.

Jordan Dawson is set to return to the field after personal reasons kept him sidelined for a couple of weeks and will look to return in fine form against Richmond.

The Adelaide Crows are just on a completely different level than Richmond, so expect them to make easy work of their opponents in a high-scoring encounter.
