There's really only 1 game this week that has little to no significance or excitement:

Western Bulldogs vs. St Kilda Etihad Stadium

North Melbourne vs. Melbourne Etihad Stadium

Adelaide Crows vs. Port Adelaide AAMI Stadium

Essendon vs. Hawthorn MCG

Sydney Swans vs. Brisbane Lions SCG

Geelong Cats vs. Richmond Skilled Stadium

Carlton vs. Collingwood MCG

West Coast Eagles vs. Fremantle Subiaco Oval

The derby, the showdown, three matches between massive rivals, us vs North which is all of a sudden not such a dull encounter, and Sydney vs Brisbane, two teams with 1 loss each.

Then of course there's the slaughterfest at Geelong (well, at least you'd think so).

But overall, this is going to be a massive round of football. Big crowds, you'd expect.

That Essendon-Hawthorn game has 'bloodbath' written all over it.

Get ready for some old fashioned biff from two teams who are almost done in season 2010, and who also happen to hate each other.

Let's hope the Dogs and the Saints have a relentlessly running, bruising close encounter, for us to destroy them the week after. The kangas wont be easy though.

This round could shake the 8! We need to come out firing against an improved Kangaroos unit.

Hawks V Dons. That is going to be one hell of a match.

melb kept fev and brown,,,, but our backline vs hall...now that would be interesting to watch. hall is on fire...but i feel this will be the first time melb defenders will be looking forward to this challenge in a long time.
