    If you are doing a tipping comp, it's probably being won by someone who knows nothing about football.

    Anyone who picked the majority of those did so with darts

    I did ok considering my knowledge of the sport is somewhat limited with a five from nine record thanks to Collingwood, Carlton, Saints, Demons and Freo all getting home. I must be one of those described above!

    so i guess, just for a change, Ken Hinkley is the guy. The drums, the drums they are a beating.

    Large numbers of Port fans have wanted him gone for ages, but he always seems to win enough games to keep his job, without ever looking like a real premiership team.

    If at least one Lions forward isn't playing for the twos this week i will be banging the "Fagan out!!" drum hard (not for the first time)

    Fagan is cooked

    Forwards intact. There is no accountability at this club

    @mariner4life not too worried about Fagan’s future, but if he doesn’t do anything else in his footy career, just get the boys up for tonight. Would love to see the Lions get the win over the Pies.

    I do like how the Pies are playing, they have some great players and their coach is damn good - but their supporters are still the same…

    Let’s go Lions.

    Smashed them. Cam rayner the spark, Charlie Cameron the scoring danger

    Shut down the Collingwood run too.

    Good win.

    It's so weird to see the Easter Monday "blockbuster" being the bottom 2 teams in the league.

    i think the comp kinda sorted itself out on the weekend

    Brisbane and Collingwood will both play finals
    Carlton should too, and put North in their place
    What the fuck Freo?
    Not sure either the Tigers or Dogs will play in September.
    St Kilda will, and once again, the GC won't
    I don't know what either Sydney or Port are
    Essendon look okay actually.
    Melbourne, despite a loss at the 'gabba, look to be the best side.
    Welcome back from your nap Geelong.

    I fucking hate Jeremy Cameron, but he's the best player in the comp.

    Not that I am remotely a fan, watching them live they do look good. I like their structure and they have some very talented players that know how to win the ball and carry.

    Agree on Cameron on both fronts.

    Gather round seemed a success. So it's immediately locked in for a few years.

    This weekend definitely split the comp in two

    I think the bottom 8 are already done for the year after 5 rounds. Hawthorn, WC, GC, and North are genuinely awful. The Dogs, Tigers, Giants and Freo are the next step up but not much better.

    So there are 10 teams looking at 8 spots to play in September.
    St Kilda lost but remain top, and that comeback lost them no admirers
    The Dons beating Melbourne surprised me
    Collingwood are bloody good
    Carlton getting torched by Adelaide i did not see coming
    Who would have picked that for the top 4 after 5 rounds?

    Brisbane had a nice percentage boosting bye.

    the two talking points from the weekend (that is still in progress)

    Carlton continue to be the March premiers, and then have the wheels fall off in April. Destined to finish 9th. But will still get shitloads of prime time games and have players win awards for some ungodly reason.

    look away now @Kiwiwomble

    The combined score from the last two times the Cats have played the Swans is 263-89. Considering one of these fixtures was a GF, that's beyond embarrassing. The Swans didn't kick a goal in the 2nd half.

    Jeremy Cameron has kicked 27 goals in 6 games. Astounding to think his team played shit and lost the first 3 of those.

    Should be fav for both the Coleman and the Brownlow.

    Fuck off that's a fucking goal. What's the point in having a review to come up with that travesty?

    Deserved to lose that game. We found Melbourne more often than we found ourselves.
