- Game 1: Adelaide vs Collingwood at 7.40pm AEST
Having gone from a 15th-place finish last season to a minor premiership, Adelaide have already won respect across the board. Going all the way to the flag would cement Matthew Nicks' place in AFL lore, but with Geelong in rampant form and reigning champions Brisbane proving their big-game mettle, an almighty scrap for the title beckons.
Geelong have won 11 of their last 13, eight of those by at least 40 points, while Brisbane have got the better of Geelong, Collingwood, Fremantle and Hawthorn in recent weeks. And let's not forget that Collingwood topped the ladder for 11 consecutive weeks before their late dip. Brownlow Medal frontrunner Nick Daicos isn't to be underestimated, and they'll be fired up for their clash with Adelaide.
As the top four finishers, Adelaide, Geelong, Brisbane and Collingwood can't be eliminated this weekend. The winners of the Qualifying Finals will progress to the Prelims, while the losing teams will face the winners of the Elimination Finals.
