AFL this round. Prices, form, first bounce.

Round 21 is all about the top ten, with the first six on the ladder headed straight to the finals and positions seven through ten playing off in the wildcard round. Fremantle sit clear on top with 68 points, ahead of Sydney, Hawthorn and Brisbane. The tighter fight is at the cutoff: Melbourne hold sixth on 48, level with the seventh placed Western Bulldogs, while Collingwood (46) and Geelong (44) are trying to climb out of wildcard territory and St Kilda cling to tenth.

Melbourne carry sixth spot to People First Stadium against Gold Coast on Sunday 2 August at 3:15 pm AET (the Demons at 1.67, Gold Coast at 2.20). Ladder leaders Fremantle host the Bulldogs on Friday 31 July at 8:10 pm AET, priced at 1.10 with Western Bulldogs a price of $7.
