Essendon look okay actually.
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.

have only managed to watch the highlights of the swans game...bloody hell papley was on fire, the goals he set up were more impressive that the ones he scored
-
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.

@mariner4life thats was a fucking rough weekend
swans with an absolute hiding!....highlanders not as bad a hiding but horrible game to watch...woke up on sund and wimbledon lost 5-1 after going up 1-0...literally only safe from relegation due to other results....i hate support shit teams
-
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.
-
This game is an absolute belter
-
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.

Yeah. I must apologise for my outrage because I didn't know it was another law change that once a ball has crossed the line you could punt it even further across the line and that was worth a goal.
-
That was definitely the difference
Not allowing a kid to clunk big mark after big mark, and suddenly finding every Melbourne intercept defender
I reckon the 3rd quarter was awesome, just end to end chaos. The coaches must have hated it.

@KiwiMurph A billion dollarydoos to watch a winter sport in Tasmania in a stadium without a roof?

Equalisation works!! the bottom three on the ladder have won 7 of the last 10 flags, and now they are languishing.
Richmond are cooked. They got themselves up for three quarters last week and it look like it nearly killed them
Interesting ladder. Collingwood in first at 6-1 but a percentage of only 117. The Cats on 7th at 4-3 have a percentage of 135.
It's a weird season. Seems pretty even through the top 10 or 11. The bottom 5 are very poor -
Richmond can't score goals and it's not just an injury issue either.
Still, it was a marvellous few years.
-
Richmond are a now a mix of older players in decline and kids with very little experience and the jury is still out if they will be any good anyway .
Falling off the cliff very quickly .
-
suck shit Carlton
other games happened too

Dermie reckons the top 7 are settled. They won’t finish in the current order by season end but will all feature in the finals.
So that’s the Pies, Dees, Saints, Lions, Port, Cats, Dogs.
Then he reckons 5 teams will fight it out for the final spot - Blues, Freo, Bombers, Crows, Swans. He was pretty down on the Swans even being in this bunch.
