AFL footy tipping: See who the Herald Sun experts are picking in Round 19

SIMON Goodwin referenced James Bond this week and Herald Sun expert Sam Landsberger has found inspiration in the super spy when making his prediction for the Demons this week. ROUND 19 TIPS

IT’S being billed as one of the games of the season, but do any of our experts give Collingwood a chance against the Tigers?

In a similar epic battle, Sarah Jones has moved two clear of Hawthorn legend Dermott Brereton in the Herald Sun expert tipping competition, with last year’s winner Chris Cavangh nipping at their heels two further back.

Who have they tipped this week? Find out below.

The Demons seem to match up well against the Crows and belted them by 91 points in Alice Springs in Round 10. Reckon they bounce back from last week’s loss to Geelong and begin to sure up their finals spot.

The weekend of reckoning for Sydney, Essendon, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hawthorn, North Melbourne and then there’s the rip snorter at the G on Saturday. Weekend of reckoning for tipsters as well.

Jordan De Goey is a huge out for the Pies in what is set to be an absolutely massive Saturday afternoon at the ‘G. Can’t wait to see these two sides go head-to-head but think the reigning premier will be too strong...again.

Melbourne will win like Sean Connery won, shaken but not stirred. If they are cold hard killers, now is the time for them to show us. Anything else and all their talk will count for nothing. Bernie Vince to dominate across half-back.

Sit back with a bag of popcorn and enjoy ‘Super Round’. Think Sydney, Richmond and Adelaide can prevail in thrillers, while North Melbourne’s record in Tasmania should see the Kangaroos bounce back against the Eagles.

Would have tipped Collingwood if De Goey played. Reckon they can push the flag favourites. Ball use is key.

Upset city this week (well, if you’re behind in tipping comps it’s time to throw caution to the wind) Sydney, Collingwood, Carlton (Am I really doing this?), Melbourne, North Melbourne and Fremantle are all outsiders. It could be all complete madness but we’re not going to die wondering.

As a neutral observer, I haven’t been as excited by a home-and-away match for some seasons then the Tigers and Magpies. The MCG factor sways me Richmond’s way.

The Crows will be shaken, not stirred, as the Demons rediscover their view to kill. Need to get back Jayden Hunt (ankle), who is Goody’s man with the golden run.
