yeah you're not wrong on any point. The table is very congested so it only takes a couple of results to shoot up or down the ladder.
As an aside i was going to stay in Brisbane an extra night and go the 'gabba, but the cheapest remaining tickets are $150! fuck that. hurry up and build our big flash new stadium

fuck me what has happened to the swannies....great example m of whats cool about AFL, down by 30 just before the half and win by 38?....but bloody hell

While it doesn't mean much
My youngest boy just made the Suns academy.
This doesn't mean were planning a draft party in 5 years, it's more evidence that the AFL are putting money in to the GC for bigger reasons than the W/L column

Look, i am no AFL coach, but i would have thought that kicking less than 50 points is sub-optimal when you are trying to win a game. For 5 teams on a weekend to do it is a pretty fucking horrific round of footy.
Thursday night may have lacked a lot in skill, but at least it was close.
Friday the Saints killed what ever hope the Freo supporters had that perhaps they have a decent team. The first half was the worst football you will ever see, but at least the Saints turned up at half time.
The Bulldogs are flying now Bont is back, and destroyed Port
Adelaide continued their rollercaoster season by putting Carlton back in their misery box
Collingwood and Geelong turned in a game worthy of the abilities of both teams.
Melbourne beat West Coast, and no body cared (or watched)
What are GWS? because it's going very wrong there all of a sudden. Sydney needed that like you wouldn't believe.
Hawthorn v Richmond went almost exactly to script.
The Lions won the pineapple grapple by absolutely flogging the Suns through the midfield. Matt Rowell is really good, but he can't beat that Lions midfield by himself. Great to see Charlie Cameron on the board again, but once again the Lions kick a bucket of behinds to keep the score closer than it should have been. We're the worst 7-1 team you've ever seen. We have a worse percentage than GWS who have only won 4 times. -

what a belter of a weekend of footy. By the numbers the closest round in 55 years.
Collingwood went to Freo and won a close one. It's a pretty good win given they left a couple of guys at home, and Daicos wasn't dominant. Jamie Elliot is a fucking good player.
Friday Carlton held off the Saints after establishing a decent lead in the 2nd quarter.
Melbourne pushed Hawthorn early before the Hawks pulled away in the last
The Bombers beat Sydney in a mid-table shitfight.
Saturday night was fucking great. The Gold Coast v Dogs finish was awesome. The Suns had it won, but the Dogs finished downhill and ran them really close, kicking 5 in the last quarter to get back to within 4 before the Suns managed to put it to bed. Great game.
I then flicked over to catch the end of the showdown, and it delivered as well. The Crows had to be desperate to hold off Port, and it took a pretty good mark in the Crows defensive 50 to put it to bed.
Yesterday West Coast did everything they could to get a win over the Tigers, and fell 2 points short.
Then Geelong and GWS played out a belter than saw GWS get a win at what Kardinia by 4 points off a late goal.
Then we had a draw in Tassie as North were desperately unlucky not to upset the Lions.I meant to post that the bet bet of the weekend was North to beat Brisbane. It was paying $5.50, despite the fact we're really not that good, and our record in Tasmania is appalling. And so it almost came to pass. Something is not right at the Lions, and we are a bit past the "of it's early and we won the flag last year". Defensively we are still pretty good, but we can't fucking score. It sounds churlish to say as defending premiers who are currently top of the ladder. But we've had a soft draw, played 5 of the bottom 7 sides, and the Dogs without Bont. Collingwood bitch slapped us, and the only credible wins were Geelong and the Suns, but with the caveat that we couldn't kick more than 10 goals in either. Something has to change in the forward line.

Every club bar maybe Carlton and Collingwood have absolutely smashed it with their indigenous guernseys this year. All absolute fire.
And even those two are pretty friggen good.

Good game last night, and Gold Coast have got themselves back to 2nd.
