East Coast Eagles v Sydney University by 32 points - Friday night Sydney AFL footy. What a fantastic scene to sign off on (for this season anyway). I expect an extremely competitive match, with the polish of the Eagles proving too much in the second half. DIGITAL SPORTS AFL SYDNEY MATCH OF THE WEEK

North Shore v St George by 40 points - Hard to see the in-form Bombers dropping this one on their home turf, but if Powell misses and Cole and Donohue break free, the Dragons could push them the distance.

Western Suburbs v Balmain Dockers by 58 points - Expecting the Dockers to continue to improve as their recruits gel, but it is too early to suggest they could trouble a class team like the Magpies.

Campbelltown v Wollongong by 10 points - After a great effort by the Lions last week, this could go either way, but the Love factor should be enough for the Blues at home.

UNSW-ES v Pennant Hills by 16 points - a tough one this. Waiting for the Bulldogs to click, and there is a good chance it could happen against a Demons' team that could be weary from a tough struggle under the Dalton lights.
