THURSDAY, JUNE 11

Western Bulldogs vs. Adelaide

Marvel Stadium, 7:30pm [AEST]

Team news: The Crows are set to make at least three changes for Thursday night's blockbuster clash with the Western Bulldogs. Callum Ah Chee's horrible injury run continues, with the premiership Lion suffering yet another hamstring injury that will rule him out for 3-4 weeks, while Jordon Butts (calf) and Taylor Walker (suspension) have also been sidelined. Meanwhile, midfielder Luke Kennedy will make his debut for the Dogs after strong form in the VFL.

ESPN tip: Bulldogs by 5 points

Pointsbet odds: Bulldogs $1.77, Crows $2.05

FRIDAY, JUNE 12

Geelong vs. Gold Coast

GMHBA Stadium, 7:40pm [AEST]

Team news: All eyes are on Suns trio Lachie Weller (hamstring), Will Graham (hamstring), and Bailey Humphrey (chest) after injuries in the QClash loss. In the mix after standing out in the VFL will be Sam Clohesy (43 disposals) and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan (four goals and eight marks).

ESPN tip: Cats by 13 points

Pointsbet odds: Cats $1.24, Suns $4.00


SATURDAY, JUNE 13

Melbourne vs. Essendon

MCG, 1:15pm [AEST]

Team news: It's unclear how long Brody Mihocek will miss, but the key forward will have to make way after suffering a neck injury on King's Birthday.

ESPN tip: Demons by 28 points

Pointsbet odds: Demons $1.17, Bombers $4.60

North Melbourne vs. West Coast

Optus Stadium, 4:15pm [AEST]

Team news: Riley Hardeman will miss this week's match after suffering concussion in the loss to Freo last week, but Callum Coleman-Jones (concussion) is expected to be available. The big news out of the Eagles is a nasty quad injury sustained by Reuben Ginbey who could miss the rest of the season, but Jack Graham (shoulder) and Jack Hutchinson (hamstring) are nearing a return after being listed as 1-2 weeks away ahead of the Round 13 loss to Port Adelaide.

ESPN tip: Kangaroos by 11 points

Pointsbet odds: Kangaroos $1.67, Eagles $2.25

Port Adelaide vs. Sydney

Adelaide Oval, 7:35pm [AEST]

Team news: Sydney defender Tom McCartin has entered concussion protocols and will miss at least one game, but it's likely the club will take a more cautious approach given the star's history. Justin McInerney (hamstring) is also set to be sidelined.

ESPN tip: Swans by 22 points

Pointsbet odds: Power $3.00, Swans $1.36


SUNDAY, JUNE 14

Richmond vs. Brisbane

Ninja Stadium, 1:10pm [AEST]

Team news: Forgotten Lion Eric Hipwood is set to return to the field this weekend nine months after suffering an ACL tear, and while the safest bet is the 28-year-old featuring at VFL level to get runs in the legs, there's still hope he plays his 200th AFL game on Sunday, a decision for Chris Fagan to weigh up as Brisbane seeks back-to-back wins.

ESPN tip: Lions by 38 points

Pointsbet odds: Tigers $8.00, Lions $1.07

St Kilda vs. GWS

Marvel Stadium, 3:15pm [AEST]
