No surprise results this week but 4 games decided by 4, 7, 6 and 5 points is a solid round of football.
Roos - score was close early but off the back off the Dogs playing very defensive footy and once it opened up then it was all over
Dogs - might be the best mid-table team but just don't have the firepower to worry the top end
Crows - a good showing but scored 6 goals in 1qt and 3 for the rest so if they don't get great momentum can they score consistently enough?
Eagles - better this week but 2nd year blues under Daisy and can't finals from here
Swans - low on woman-power but just did enough
Saints - 8 behinds before scoring their only goal and only 23 inside 50's shows their offensive issues
Giants - in good form and have a real opportunity against a potentially depleted Brisbane this week at home
Power - still up and down with the new game style but should keep improving week by week with it
Dees - have jumped Carlton as the clear number 2 after this demolition job on Brisbane
Lions - may have gone to the contested/surge well 1 too many seasons and with Stac probably gone at season's end I'd like to see what the next plan is as they can't maintain possession being equal last for that stat alongside Collingwood at just 37% time in possession (North #1 at 46% and Essendon 8th at 42% for reference)
Today we look at:
- Bogue Out the Back...Again!
- Port Forward Press Defense
- Mowbray Loose
- Melbourne 666 Connection
- Suns Outnumber Advantage
