This week, Caroline Wilson, Jake Niall and Sam McClure look ahead to a mouthwatering first week of finals. Who goes into the finals as premiership favourites? Can the Bulldogs turn their form around? How worried should Chris Scott be about the Cats? And will the Dons fans make Tasmania feel like Windy Hill? Plus, the off-field action heats up for the clubs that didn't make finals, including Carlton and Collingwood.
