Round 14 started on Thursday night with Adelaide crowing about a big win against a Kangaroos outfit that has lost its bounce.
What will the rest of the round bring? Can Matthew Pavlich turn it on in his last hurrah at the MCG? Will football fans tune out on Sunday when the Suns face the in-form Hawks in Tasmania?
Our crack(pot) panel runs the rule over the burning questions over the second bye round of the 2016 AFL season.
Peter Bell (Radio 6PR host, two-time AFL premiership player):
The Burning question: What sort of attendance will make it to the MCG tonight for the Collingwood versus Fremantle clash?
Headline you'd like to see: Pavlich farewells 'G with a win.
Pick of the round: Tigers to maul the Lions and win by plenty.
Tune out: The only Sunday game. Hawthorn v Gold Coast means lots of AFL fans will be 'forced' to spend time with their families.
Brendan Foster (WAtoday's grumpy old man):
Question: Has Pavlich got the legs for one more MCG blinder?
Headline: Cold Pies again at the 'G.
Pick: Freo is paying a tick under $2 which is good value, considering how crap the Pies have been
Tune in: Not a great round of footy, but I reckon the GWS v Blues game at Spotless Stadium on Saturday arvo will be a lot closer than folk think.
Tune out: Hawks v Suns on Sunday in Tassie will be a shellacking. even if it snows.
Tips: Dockers, Tigers, Giants, Cats, Hawks
Tim Carrier (Fantasy footy addict and social media producer):
Question: How low can the Kangaroos go? Will the Eagles say bye bye to Kangaroos Top 4 hopes in Round 14?
Headline: Tigers' roar, Lions whimper in battle of the big cats.
Pick: Lachie Neale to have the most possessions and Michael Walters to kick the most goals is playing $11. The Neale/Pavlich combo is paying $9. Worth a punt.
Tune in: To Friday night footy and watch Pavlich's last hurrah in Melbourne.
Tips: Dockers, Tigers, Giants, Cats, Hawks.
Simon White: (WAtoday editor and chief puppet hater):
Question: What are the odds that the match of the rest of the round would be between 14th (Collingwood) and 15th (Fremantle)?
Headline: Hot Dockers cook cold Pies
Pick: Finding it hard to go past Fremantle at $2 against Collingwood.
Tune in: I've got a sneaking suspicion St Kilda might push Geelong for a fair bit of Sunday's clash.
Tips: Dockers, Tigers, Giants, Cats, Hawks.
David Prestipino (WAtoday wine writer, footy tragic):
Question: Will the ducking furore finally end this round?
Headline: Dockers drown Pies in their MCG misery
Pick: Fremantle 1-24 at $3.30 against Collingwood looks good.
Tune in: GWS v Carlton... if only to watch the record number of #1 draft picks on the ground
Tips: Fremantle, Richmond, GWS, Geelong, Hawthorn
