My picks, based on squiggle.com.au season data and finals form:
Fremantle V Geelong: Geelong. Fremantle finished minor premier (19-4, 137.2%) but got thumped by Hawthorn 40-72 in week two. Geelong dismantled Carlton 107-74 and has the stronger recent scoring form. In September, momentum matters.
Brisbane V Adelaide: Adelaide. Brisbane were smashed 88-141 by Sydney in week two while Adelaide handled the Bulldogs 90-68. Adelaide's percentage (117.3) isn't far off Brisbane's (121.7) despite the ladder gap.
Tiebreaker (margin, Fremantle V Geelong): Geelong by 12.
