AFTER a round of upsets, AFL.com.au's expert tipping race has tightened up.

Former player Phoebe McWilliams is now on equal footing with Nat Edwards, with only cumulative margin separating them. 

With Nat bravely backing in Port Adelaide against Geelong, Phoebe is sticking fat with her former club. With two tips separating the leading pack from the rest, only one leader can emerge after round six and it all hinges on Saturday's game between the Power and the Cats.
