With just three weeks left until finals time, let's dive into some key historical moments from past games this week. The Hawks and Pies famously fought a long battle, while Geelong and Essendon went head-to-head in a classic 'ding-dong battle'. We also remember Wayne Schwass making his debut for the Swans, the Gold Coast Suns getting a rude shock in their first-ever game, and a huge boilover as Freo stunned Adelaide.

The Tigers are hoping to finally end their stay in Cairns with a maiden win, Collingwood will be looking to hold on at the Dome, and the Dockers will be aiming to upset the Blues.

Looking ahead to Round 20, it seems like we have a "Rivalry Round" of sorts. This gives us a great chance to talk about the Dockers' first Derby win, the Lions getting revenge over the Suns, the Crows' comeback in the Showdown, and the Giants upsetting the Buddy welcome party. On top of that, we also have the Hawks finally beating the Blues and a remarkably spiteful match between the Cats and Shinboners.

With the finals fast approaching, there's still plenty to discuss, including several first-time matchups this season. We're looking forward to James Hird versus Kevin Sheedy in their inaugural coaching clash as the Bombers visit Western Sydney. A Kangaroo (and Bulldog) legend will play his final match, while the Demons celebrate cracking a ton for the first time in the VFL. The Tigers are set for revenge, the Saints have finally beaten the Cats, and the Dockers managed to stun the Pies at home. It also wasn't that long ago that the Suns secured their first win over the Crows.

As we approach the pointy end of the season, here are our Round 18 previews and historical insights: The Lions and Blues will battle it out on the Queen's Birthday, while the Magpies aim to make their inaugural visit against the Suns a memorable one. Graham Cornes is impressed by the Crows, and Stevie J suits up for the Giants against his former team, the Cats, for the very first time. The Dockers typically struggle at Waverley, there's a shootout at Moorabbin, and the Power and Eagles are set to play a cracker of a game!

With just one more week of bye rounds to go, here's a look at the upcoming matches:
Port Adelaide will face an injury-depleted Carlton. Meanwhile, the Swans are set to travel to Melbourne to take on the Western Bulldogs. We also remember Gold Coast's historic first win at the MCG, which came against Melbourne.
In other key matchups, the Kangaroos will be looking for their first win of the season against the Hawks. And, inspired by the 36ers, the Adelaide Crows will be at the MCG, aiming for their first Melbourne win of the season against the Richmond Tigers.

We are getting deep into the bye rounds now, and we are seeing more and more double-up games. We chat about the Giants' first-ever win and listen to them sing their song. The Pies have trouble getting their flag to unfurl, and in the double-up games, we hear about the Bombers' first time against the Dockers. The Port v Swans game sees some big names debut, and the Cats finally beat the Lions after many attempts.

No Charlie with us tonight as we preview the coming round and remember the first time these two teams met. Also in Round 14, we have our first double-up game, with the Blues playing the Eagles again. We talk about the Adelaide Crows' big statement win over the Hawks in their first ever game. I talk about Daniel Merrett's starring role against the Giants, the Saints having a very nice day out against Footscray, the end of Neil Balme's tenure at the Demons, and as a bonus, University's first win!"

The Swans and Tigers play a corker; it's a dark day for Port Adelaide, and as a bonus, we relive the Dockers' very first win!
