Swans 121 - 58 West Coast
two things, ouch!...and i was going to comment on the fall of a recent champion, but then went a checked and their final was 2018!...COVID really has messed up my perception of time!

5 rounds in and we can make a few observations
Teams i have underrated
Melbourne: Yes i said they would make the GF, but teams that break long premiership droughts don't usually race out of the blocks. They are flying, team to beat by heaps.
St Kilda, Carlton and Freo, none of which i thought would play finals. And there they are, 4-1
Collingwood. Yes, only 2 wins, but watching them they play pretty well, still have a good list, and some dynamic youth. Won't play finals but won't be near the spoon either
Hawthorn. I am not shocked Mitchell can coach but didn't think they would amount to much this year.Teams i have overrated
Port. Lol 0-5 and done for the year. Fuck knows what has gone wrong there
GWS. Playing worse than the sum of their parts. Not sure how Cameron has kept his job this long. The best they have looked was the first half against Sydney before the coach put the handbrake back on
Dogs. Huge underperformance. I still think they will play finals because they aren't far off, but they have been very disappointing
Geelong. Will win lots at home and not many away. -
lol at GWS, and the Western Bulldogs
North and West Coast are lucky there is no relegation
Richmond are cooked
Hawthorn v Sydney was a really good game for a half. Then it got really ugly for the Hawks, and Sydney showed they are definite contenders. Freo beating Carlton was a bit of a statement too.

@mariner4life Swans were behind by a point with ten minutes to go in the 4th. And won by 40. Never seen anything like it.

it was only a matter of time before the inside-50 count started to show on the score board. And then it just rained goals.

why does the AFL hate Friday night?
Last week we got the Eagles reserve grade v the faded Tigers
This week we get battlers the Dogs and Port, and then Freo hosting North.
Both of these games should have been buried in the Twilight spots.
Speaking of the Eagles, they head to Brisbane this weekend, and will be asking guys at the airport if they want a run, as the WA Covid rules are smashing them.

Prestia and Vlastuin ruled out. Year keeps getting better.

And despite that, a good win against the toothless hordes.

Shocking performance today. As bad as it gets.
How good were Gold Coast though? Getting the win over the Swans in Sydney. I watched the Suns live against the Saints and they are a pretty good side. Good defensive pressure and no how to get the ball moving. That Touk Miller is class and thEn add guys like Fiorini, Swallow, Casboult and they have some very good pieces.

@ACT-Crusader the Suns have what they need. They need to keep them, and I get a sneaky suspicion they need a better coach
Lions won as expected. I didn't pay much attention to it.
Poor weekend of football so far (the Suns excepted)

There is this fella currently sitting on the sidelines, knows a thing or two about winning a game of footy….. come on down Alastair Clarkson

Worst weekend of footy all year.
The Suns are the only fucking highlight, otherwise completely to script with no good games
North score 24 fucking points
GWS score 35 fucking points, at home
West Coast score 30
St Kilda at 55 not much better really.The Top 3 have obscene percentages
