SuperFooty takes a look at 10 games you simply can't miss during the 2014 AFL season WE take a look at 10 of the most anticipated matches of the 2014 AFL premiership season. Carlton v Collingwood - Friday May 2 (Round 7) The most anticipated match of 2014 after the Blues brazenly poached Pies' poster boy Dale Thomas and fitness chief David Buttifant. Adds a whole cupful of chilli to an already giant-sized traditional blockbuster. Dale Thomas meets Collingwood in round seven. Fremantle v Cats - Saturday May 17 (Round 9) Remember the Steve Johnson non-handshake? Players being felled behind play? The Matt Scarlett hook on Hayden Ballantyne? Ross Lyon's quip about the press conference in the Simonds Stadium loo? These two despise each other. Can't wait. Sydney v Hawthorn - Friday May 9 (Round 8) Has Buddy made the right move? And will he be missed by the Hawks? Lance Franklin might have a knot in his stomach ahead of the showdown against his old side. Buddy and the Swans meet Hawthorn in round eight. Essendon v Geelong - Friday June 27 (Round 15) Everybody loves Cats' coach Chris Scott, except maybe Paul Chapman. The Geelong great still doesn't understand why he was cut from the club after a sizzling finish to the year form-wise. He's teamed up with former coach Mark Thompson to show the Cats made a rare list management error. Hawthorn v Fremantle - Friday April 4 (Round 3) If it wasn't for those horror early misses on goal, Fremantle might have seriously challenged Hawthorn in the latter stages of last year's Grand Final. Ross Lyon doesn't do emotion but he knows there's plenty riding on the always spicy GF rematch. Heath Shaw and the Giants don't face the Pies until round 22. Collingwood v GWS - Saturday August 23 (Round 22) We heard the rumours about Heath Shaw and Nathan Buckley but now it's clear; the two don't get on. Watch the Pies try and wind their old teammate up into another meltdown - regardless of the score - in this one. Essendon v Carlton - Sunday April 6 (Round 5) Essendon handed the Blues free passage into a finals berth they would have missed out on if it wasn't for the peptide mess. The Bombers would love to nail Mick's men, showing who is really the superior side in 2014. Richmond and Carlton play in round two this year. Richmond v Carlton - Thursday March 27 (Round 2) The Tigers were cruising to their first finals win in an eternity when Chris Judd played one of the best second halves of his career in last year's emanation final. The honeymoon is over for the Tigers this year and this contest against the Blues can help put that finals lesson behind them. Adelaide v Port Adelaide - Saturday March 29 (Round 2) Port Adelaide is not the poor cousin anymore. The Power became one of the most admired sides in the land last year led by a coach Ken Hinkley, who for a long time, kept being overlooked for senior coaching gigs. With a new stadium to play at Adelaide Oval, someone will put a memorable stake in the ground. Hawthorn v Geelong - Monday April 21 (Round 5) The Kennett Curse is over but the clash between one of the biggest rivals of the past decade can not be missed. The hard, contested and typically close matches everyone loves to watch.
