AFL Review Round 6
West Coast 15.16.106 defeated Melbourne 6.16.52
A rather insipid display by Melbourne may cause one coach some embarrassment while it provides another with relief. The Demons seem to be in some sort of form limbo and the Eagles continue their bright start to the season.
Carlton 12.15.87 defeated Sydney 10.11.71
A dirty evening weather wise but lots to like with the win scored by the Blues in heavy conditions. The Swans might consider themselves unlucky with an interchange infringement that came at a crucial time in a close game. The penalty for this infringement is way out of balance for a perceived advantage. Carlton gained a bit of breathing space with that win and the Swans stay lurking amongst the middle tier of teams.
North Melbourne 18.25.133 defeated Port Adelaide 10.13.73
The woe continues for the Power this season as they make plans for somewhere to display the wooden spoon after a comprehensive hiding by North Melbourne. Shots on goal, inside 50's and tackles for North counted almost double that of Port at the end of the game.
Richmond 18.16.124 defeated Brisbane Lions 14.14.98
The game was close as expected even though the Lions were held goalless in the 2nd quarter. They came out and kicked 7 goals in the 3rd and momentarily took the lead. Richmond two weeks in a row has been able to give their fans winning last quarters.
Adelaide 13.12.90 defeated St Kilda 9.17.71
Somebody tell me what's actually going on with these two sides? Their form is making it impossible to pick them with any confidence week to week. Disappointing Saints and a puzzling Adelaide.
Essendon 31.11.197 defeated Gold Coast 8.10.58
The Bombers kicked the highest first quarter score in AFL history with 15 goals! The Gold Coast replied with…….one point which is all they had time for. Reimers booted 8 goals and the Bombers had the last kick of the day to make the Essendon score 200 but it was offline. That's about the only sad note for the Bombers. Gold Coast won last week so it was back to harsh reality today.
Collingwood 15.15.105 defeated Western Bulldogs 8.9.57
The Bulldogs started with a flourish and led at quarter time. 5 minutes into the last quarter the scores were level after Collingwood had gotten out to a 28 point lead. From that time in the last quarter the Pies kicked 8 unanswered goals and won by that margin – 48 points.
