AFL Saturday with Corbin Middlemas, Mick Malthouse and Luke Ball, reviewing and previewing the AFL matches in Round 18. Today's guest, GWS Coach Adam Kingsley ahead of the Giants clash with Geelong at the Sydney Showgrounds.

Brisbane continue to surge, out-classing Carlton in Melbourne. But it wasn't without drama and injury carnage, with the premiership contender caught up with a sad season-ender for defender Noah Answerth. Also on today's episode, Corbin Middlemas, Ben Cameron and Brett Deledio ponder whether tonight's game is the Suns' most important ever game. And the Dogs play the Crows - who needs the scalp more?

After a difficult few weeks, Carlton fans may not be looking forward to their match with the Lions but Paul Roos think’s is not all doom and gloom. Could the Suns spoil illness-riddled Collingwood's trip to the Gold Coast? And, with a number of high stakes games, Roosy struggles to pick his match and team of the round this week.

Off the back of Voss receiving messages that are now under investigation by the AFL, Roosy reminds us that no one cares more about a club than the players and coach. Carlton has plenty of fresh ink on contracts, surely re-signings is good for morale? There is nothing but praise for Emma Kearney who is stepping down as North Melbourne’s captain, when does a player know it’s the right time? Plus, with Wrexham AFC players visiting Hawthorn, Roosy regales us about times he was awe-struck when celebrities popped by his clubs.

The team go through the battle-worn players from Round 17, how will affect clubs both above and below the ladder divide? How does being thumped on the weekend shape the following week's training sessions? And does the AFL really need another tournament? Roosy isn’t keen on the Americanisation of the game.

With eight of the nine top teams winning this round who is at the biggest risk of being left behind come finals? What big changes does Michael Voss need to make to turn around Carlton? Is Tom De Koning’s contract dilemma affecting this on-field performance? Plus, how does Matt Rowell address his umpire bumps and ensures he remains on the field for Gold Coast? 

AFL Saturday with Corbin Middlemas, Luke Ball and Adam Ramanauskas, reviewing and previewing the AFL matches in Round 17.

After a competitive first half the Bulldogs managed to prevail over North Melbourne who were celebrating their club's centenary. Libba won't be forgetting his 250th match any time soon. Is Michael Voss coaching for his career as the Blues face archrivals Collingwood tonight? Should Brisbane be concerned about their recent home game record? Plus, the team preview the remaining matches of Round 17. 

With a full complement of nine matches being played this weekend, all cross the great divide between ninth and tenth, Roosy and Poppy make cases for teams that can cause upsets. North Melbourne will be celebrating 100 years of their Shinboner spirit, can the Bulldogs rain on their parade in Libba’s 250th? Plus who’s Roosy’s team of the round to look out for?

Richmond's Tom Lynch has been handed a five-week suspension for his strike for Jordon Butts, what message is the AFL sending to its players with the longest ban of the season? The AFL is also cracking down on players’ careless contact with umpires, is this a bit harsh when very few of the offenses are deliberate? Plus, how are teams handling their injury list and how will it affect their finals preparations?
