Footy you'll want to be a part of:
It's a battle for the top eight, with the Western Bulldogs currently sitting out of a finals spot by just one game. Their percentage may be huge, but with just 11 wins to eighth-placed Gold Coast's 12, they'll need to start winning all their games from here on out.
However the Giants won't make it easy – after defeating their cross-town rivals last week, they're in September form ahead of their finals campaign.

ADELAIDE v HAWTHORN
Friday August 1, 7.10pm ACST, Adelaide Oval
The Toyota Good for Footy Kid Zone at the Victor Richardson Gates is open pre-game, with a focus on accessibility and inclusivity, including a Stadium Jumping Castle, Toyota Race Car Track, Kicking Tunnel and stacks of giveaways.

GET YOUR SEATS Buy tickets for Crows v Hawks HERE
Footy you’ll want to be a part of:
Adelaide is swiftly making their run to for the top of the ladder spot, with a better percentage than Collingwood, but just one win behind. The triple-headed forward line of Riley Thilthorpe, Taylor Walker and Darcy Fogarty has been on fire, with Thilthorpe securing his first Showdown medal last week. Amazing stuff happens when the Crows play in front of a home crowd, so fans should flock to Adelaide Oval to show their support.
But Hawthorn won’t make it easy – last time these two sides met, the Hawks claimed victory by just three points. AFL.com.au has predicted the Hawks will drop out of the top eight by the seasons end – is this the game where they prove everybody wrong?
MELBOURNE v WEST COAST
Saturday August 2, 1.20pm AEST, Marvel Stadium
It's Kids Go Free for one more round in Victoria, with all kids aged 14 years and under can see the Dees take on the Eagles for free, with an adult ticket purchase.
And what better way to treat the kids than with $2 chips at the Demons v Eagles game? Be quick though, there's just 2500 available, with max four per transaction, so they'll be snapped up fast.
