With three rounds remaining until the finals get underway, now is the time for the premiership contenders to really prove their worth.
However, once again, the round will be bookended by two clashes between four struggling sides, with the winless Suns’ best chance of nabbing a win coming when they kick off proceedings against Richmond at Metricon Stadium on Friday night.
The other match between two bottom sides sees the West Coast Eagles host the Geelong Cats, with a win set to prove precious in the battle to avoid finishing at or near the bottom of the ladder.

After three rounds of the 2021 AFL Women’s season, the Brisbane Lions, Collingwood, Fremantle and Melbourne are undefeated.
Down at the other end of the ladder, Richmond, the West Coast Eagles, Gold Coast Suns and Geelong Cats are still yet to get off the mark.
The Eagles’ bid to break their duck does not get any easier when they make a second straight trip east to face the Giants in Sydney, while the Crows will try to bring down the top-of-the-table Lions in the Sunshine Capital.
