Who you should be tipping in Round 10 of the AFL (2024)

Last week: 6
Season total: 51

Certainty and why: The Demons came storming home after a slow start against the Blues and very nearly won. The will make amends this week against the Eagles, you can be sure of that.

Upset and why: The Suns just don't lose in Darwin -- having won their last five straight -- and this week they get the Cats at the right time. They have had a week in the Top End to get used to the conditions, and I'm tipping them to bank another four points.

Tips for the week:

Gold Coast vs. Geelong
Sydney vs. Carlton
Collingwood vs. Adelaide
GWS vs. Western Bulldogs
St Kilda vs. Fremantle
Brisbane vs. Richmond
Essendon vs. North Melbourne
Port Adelaide vs. Hawthorn
West Coast vs. Melbourne

Matt Walsh

Last week: 6
Season total: 49

Certainty and why: The Power smashed the Hawks in this fixture last year, piling on 16 goals in the first half. They'll win and win well this week.

Upset and why: I'm all in on the Darwin Suns. They have a true home ground advantage, much like their opponents the Cats. I can see a boilover...

Tips for the week:

Gold Coast vs. Geelong
Sydney vs. Carlton
Collingwood vs. Adelaide
GWS vs. Western Bulldogs
St Kilda vs. Fremantle
Brisbane vs. Richmond
Essendon vs. North Melbourne
Port Adelaide vs. Hawthorn
West Coast vs. Melbourne

Jarryd Barca

Last week: 6
Season total: 52

Certainty and why: Melbourne, comfortably. It's a top four team against a bottom four team. Keep it simple!

Upset and why: Fremantle are great chance to cause an 'upset' this week. They get a mulligan after last week's loss to the Swans after what were extremely difficult circ*mstances for the club given the shock passing of a past player. They're just better than the Saints.
