    what even is this season?

    Brisbane needed to score the last like 5 goals of the game to beat the Petracca-less Demons at the 'gabba
    Sydney lost! at home! to fucking Freo!
    Premiership favourites are Gold Coast at home. Spoon favourites are Gold Coast on the road.
    Geelong beat Essendon, both teams are absolute frauds.
    The Crows beat GWS, who are suddenly just bog-average
    St Kilda dragged Port in to a low scoring shitfight but still couldn't win
    The other sunday games were predictable as shit.

    One win is the difference between 3rd and 13th

    There are 3 absolutely shit teams in this league. What happens when another team comes in to spread talent even further?

    And just like that Brisbane are looking at a top 4 finish. Wild.

    I went to the Lions v Crows yesterday. Far more tense than it should have been. Lions kicking as many behinds as goals keeps teams in it. The forward line is not working at all.
    Crows were pretty good though. They kicked us to death, just finding mark after mark to move the ball. And they kicked straight.

    Elsewhere Sydney and Carlton both lost, and the ladder got even more congested.

    Went to GWS vs Carlton, was a fun sort of game. GWS flicked the switch in the second and might have saved their season.

    With Sydney losing to the Saints, you could tell me any of the top eight teams will win and I'd believe you.

    Think this week might have ended the Gold Coast, Bulldogs and Hawthorn though.

    Dimma gave them a pretty decent and deserved spray in the press conference

    Yeah I watched that game. They caught North on a good week, but they just lack a bit of firepower in their front half. Ben King is good but he plays a bit of a lone hand for them. What they need is a small forward, someone like Izak Rankine.

    Reckon he's on the hook for three at least. Concuss someone in a non-football act and that's about the baseline these days, accidental or otherwise.

    Adam Simpson's future now very much in doubt.

    Premierships only get you so far, you keep losing and eventually the axe comes.

    Brisbane avoid the dead cat bounce of a shit team at home the week after their coach got sacked to somehow jump in to the top 4
    love to see @Kiwiwomble tipping this week
    Geelong beat Collingwood at the 'G, and suddenly the cats are back?
    Hawthorn beat Freo
    Sydney of course bounce back v North
    The Bulldogs beat Carlton
    Adelaide beat St Kilda who in peak Ross Lyon kick 5 goals
    Basket case Dees beat fraud Essendon
    Gold Coast were at home so they won
    GWS beat the Tigers

    And so Sydney are 3 wins clear. Carlton were locked in to 2nd, but they have fallen back to the pack, and now only lead the Cats on %. The Lions in to the 4 after a 10-game run of 8-1-1.
    And then it' still a shitfight to 13th. No one is knocked out yet because the teams from 2nd to 13th keep beating each other. Great season.
