NEXT FIVE: Ess (H), NM (A), WB (H), GC (A), Syd (H).
2. COLLINGWOOD
A loss to West Coast is the only blemish on their record in their last five matches and starting to settle into the season nicely.

NEXT FIVE: PA (H), Carl (A), StK (H), Syd (A), Fre (H).

NEXT FIVE: WB (A), Fre (A), Haw (H), Ess (H), NM (A).
5. FREMANTLE

NEXT FIVE: Ade (A), Rich (H), Ess (A), BL (H), Coll (A).

NEXT FIVE: Coll (A), Ade (H), GC (H), Haw (A), StK (A).

NEXT FIVE: Fre (H), PA (A), BL (A), WCE (H), Melb (A).

NEXT FIVE: Syd (H), WB (A), Ade (H), Fre (A), Haw (H).
10. ESSENDON

NEXT FIVE: Melb (A), GWS (H), Rich (A), PA (H), BL (A).
12. WEST COAST

NEXT FIVE: GC (H), StK (A), Melb (H), Ade, (A), WB (H).

NEXT FIVE: WCE (A), Melb (H), PA (A), Gee (H), GWS (A).
