Who should you be tipping in Round 14 of the AFL season? Our footy experts have put their heads together to help you out. So open your ESPNfootytips app, take notes, and get ahead of the game!
The bye rounds continue but there's plenty of blockbuster action on our doorstep.
On Thursday, the Western Bulldogs host Adelaide with both sides in red-hot form looking to send a message to the rest of the competition, before Geelong welcome the Suns to GMHBA Stadium for their now-annual 'white out' clash.
On Saturday, Melbourne seeks revenge against an Essendon team that defeated the Demons earlier in the season, while North Melbourne finish their stint in WA with a clash against the much improved Eagles.
The round concludes with a fascinating contest between St Kilda and GWS. The Saints were stiff not to beat the Swans last week and are playing good enough footy to stay competitive with most teams, while the Giants will want to create further separation between them and the clubs chasing a wildcard spot below them.
Our experts share all of their wisdom with you to help guide your tipping.

Certainty and why: Brisbane's form has been indifferent of late but I don't see them having any trouble against the Tigers.
