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.

Been thinking about democracy lately? Same. As the received narrative about the United States and the founding fathers is being revised in many quarters these days, it might be informative to understand that white Europeans did not hatch democracy on this continent.

PENINSULA Health has welcomed 39 medical interns who have wasted no time learning the ropes in preparation for their one-year placements.
The doctors will immerse themselves into the day-to-day life of caring for patients and working alongside medical and healthcare staff during their rotations across Frankston and Rosebud hospitals and other Peninsula Health sites.
A small number of interns will also rotate throughout the year in the emergency department at Warragul Hospital.
As part of their week-long orientation, the new doctors stepped into the simulation centre to refresh their basic life-support training.
Peninsula Health Medical Workforce Unit director Mr Andrew Wilson said: “Our first-year doctors have already begun building their experience, confidence and expertise, prior to commencing clinical duties on the wards under the direction of more experienced medical staff.
