While most of us will be obsessing over how Buddy goes on Saturday, there are other games, starting off tonight with Collingwood v Carlton. Collingwood are very slight favourites, but I think that Carlton should be favourites, as they were still in with a chance, until very late, against Richmond; while Collingwood never really looked like beating the Bulldogs.

Tomorrow night will see one of the premiership favourites, either Geelong or Brisbane, get into a bit of trouble, by going 0-2. Assuming that it's not a draw.

A couple of the Sunday games look they could be good contests: Bulldogs v Eagles and Dockers v Giants.
