IT'S HEADING to the pointy end of the season, and our expert tipsters are getting bold.

Mitch Cleary is one of three to back the Dockers over reigning premiers Richmond, and if it pays off, his big call could see him surge past Nat Edwards to the top of the leaderboard.

Only one tipster backed in Essendon despite its run of thrillers against the Swans, while our Queensland correspondent Michael Whiting has put Port on notice.
