A huge Saturday of footy in Adelaide, headlined by two standout matchups. The Suns look to bounce back against the Swans, while the undefeated Bulldogs face a tough test against the Hawks.
North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Brisbane Lions
LEG 1 - Nick Larkey 2+ Goals
Larkey has been incredibly consistent in front of goal.
He has kicked 2+ goals in all four games this season and sits third in the AFL with 14 goals.
Dating back to last year, he has now kicked 2+ in his last seven games. Even with Harris Andrews returning, key forwards have still found success against Brisbane this season.
Essendon Bombers vs Melbourne Demons
LEG 2 - Archie Roberts 25+ Disposals
Roberts has been a ball magnet to start the season, averaging 27 disposals per game.
He has hit 25+ in his last three games, including a 37-disposal performance against the Bulldogs, while also taking a share of kick-ins.
His only miss came in Round 1 against Hawthorn, where he played just 60% game time. Since then, Brad Scott has lifted his minutes above 80%, and the numbers have followed.
Sydney Swans vs Gold Coast Suns
LEG 3 - Joel Jeffrey 20+ Disposals
With Will Powell moving into the midfield, Jeffrey’s role off half-back has expanded.
He is averaging 22.3 disposals this season, hitting 20+ in three of four games, with last week’s lower total coming in a game where overall Suns disposals were down.
If Gold Coast get the game back on their terms, Jeffrey should be heavily involved.
Hawthorn Hawks vs Western Bulldogs
LEG 4 - Hawthorn
The Hawks have had the edge over the Bulldogs under Sam Mitchell.
Hawthorn have entered as underdogs in their last four meetings and have won all four, including convincing wins by 37 points in 2024 and 22 last season.
With Tim English ruled out and Ed Richards under an injury cloud, this shapes as a great opportunity for Hawthorn to continue that trend.
