Demons seek vengeance, Roos must rebound

Can the Hawks make a statement at the Gabba, or will the Lions bounce back from last week’s stinging loss to Carlton? With tipping supremacy on the line, Andrew Wu and Peter Ryan disagree on how this monumental swing game will play out. The Sunday-night clash between St Kilda and Carlton is also a bone of contention, while Collingwood face a “danger game” in the west and Fremantle get a rare dress rehearsal at the MCG. It’s round 22, and as tipping competitions draw towards a close, you’ve come to the best place for advice on making your move.

Hawthorn’s chance to prove their premiership credentials

Our podcasters Sam McClure, Caroline Wilson and Jake Niall give the latest word on coach searches as Carlton and the Bombers narrow down the list of candidates. The groundswell of support for Josh Fraser is growing after the Blues' statement win over the reigning premiers, while Essendon's process and political history comes under scrutiny. The pressure is ramping up on North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson, with former West Coach premiership coach and Roos premiership player Adam Simpson in the wings. Plus, the impact of Richmond's rare win, the "Amnesia Football League", the return of AFLW, and the AFL coach who decided to break out of character and get a bit edgy.

Essendon to announce their new coach next week

Carlton take on the reigning premiers who are riding a seven-game winning streak, and our tipsters expect the the Blues to come out breathing fire for captain Patrick Cripps' 250th match. But is that emotion enough to tip the Blues? It's moving round, and there are plenty of 50-50 clashes at play in round 21. The battle of Charlie Curnow against former teammate Jack Silvagni takes centre stage, as does Christian Petracca's first match against the Demons. Plus, the "stinker" that's a toss of the coin.
