One of the biggest Saturdays of the season, with Anzac Round delivering four games including Collingwood and Essendon.
Hawthorn Hawks vs Gold Coast Suns
Leg 1 - Hawthorn
They weren’t at their best last week against Port Adelaide, but Hawthorn’s record at UTAS Stadium is elite.
The Hawks have won their last 10 games at the venue, despite starting favourites in just six of those. They’ve also covered the line in 11 of their last 12 there.
The return of Jack Gunston adds structure up forward, while the Suns come in out of form, failing to cover in their last three games.
Essendon Bombers vs Collingwood Magpies
Leg 2 - Archie Roberts 30+ Disposals
Roberts is finding an absurd amount of the footy right now, driven by a shift in Essendon’s ball movement.
He’s averaging 37.3 disposals across his last three games, hitting 30+ in all three.
Collingwood’s defensive system allows opposition half-backs to accumulate. Florent and Newman found plenty last week, while Clark and Ryan did the same the week prior, even in poor conditions.
Port Adelaide Power vs Geelong Cats
Leg 3 - Jack Bowes 1+ Goals
Bowes plays an important role for Geelong, especially with Gryan Miers out as that high half-forward link.
He went goalless last week but had three behinds and easily could have converted one.
He kicked three goals across the two games prior, and finished 2025 with 16 goals, close to a goal per game.
Fremantle Dockers vs Carlton Blues
Leg 4 - Caleb Serong 25+ Disposals
This shapes as a big spot for Serong, who is due for a breakout game.
He’s averaging 26.3 disposals this season and has finished on 24 in each of his last two games after posting 32 the week prior.
Carlton remain without George Hewett, and based on their midfield setup last week, they don’t have a clear matchup for Serong.
Same Game Multi
Hawthorn / Roberts 30+ Disposals / Bowes 1+ Goals / Serong 25+ Disposals = $5.20
