    On my way to the Bulldogs v Geelong game. Will it be #freekickbulldogs again? Looking forward to seeing the treatment Weightman gets from both the umpires and Geelong.

          The Suns got the job done against the Crows.

          A good weekend of football so far, as far as the results go.

          Should I be sympathetic regarding more injuries to an already-bruised West Coast team, or appreciate how they're getting softened up before we meet them in a few weeks?

            They’re not mutually exclusive positions. [emoji6]

              I went to the Dogs/Cats game last night. I can't see the Dogs challenging this year. The game changed when the Bont went off and Geelong kicked 2 goals to take the lead. He was on track for BOG when he got what looked like a "corkie". Geelong will again challenge for the flag if they get their midfield back. On the Bont; he gets away with murder. He is given an eternity to dispose of the footy, a luxury not bestowed on anyone else on the ground. By the way the Dogs "throwing" has hit epidemic proportions. Also couldn't believe the number of very obvious frees not paid on a night, with an umpire in close proximity, so the umps didn't cover themselves in glory.

                At half time Essendon-North Melbourne, Essendon lead by 2 points.

                And at the start of the third, North get a goal in the first minute to take the lead.

                This match is going about as I expected, with North having a real go and making a contest of this.

                    Hate Norf and Essendon but the game is turning into an absolute ripper!

                    Match of the year!

                      I was at the game too and I noticed that the Bulldogs were called for throws and HTB more than other weeks. It was the non controlling umpire that seemed to pay the frees. Although as you mentioned, there were still a number of obvious missed frees.

                      It was funny seeing the reaction of the Bulldogs supporters when the frees were paid. Especially one whose head was about to explode when a throw was paid right in front of us. It was the most obvious throw you would ever see.

                        Bulldog supporters just aren't used to having free kicks paid against them. The umpires did everything they could to get the Poodles over the line against the Suns last week.

                          In today's game wow Norths have picked up a gem in Wardlaw. He's classy , he gets involved everywhere, he just wants to win and he has that spatial awareness and slows everything around him with shimmies and dummies and great ball use just has so much time to make all the right choices
                          I was watching him defensively too and he was everywhere covering cleverly.

                            Norf have accumulated a shed load of high draft pick players, another top three coming this draft as well, might leapfrog up the ladder

                            So pleased the Suns fought back from 6 goals down to beat the Cows, the latter nearly unbeatable at Adelaide Oval but pathetic away. Tom Doedee who put off contract talks has (ouch) has done an ACL, that'll cost him!

                              The North v. Essendon game was an absolute cracker. Just loved it, and as a non-aligned observer, it was rollicking entertainment. North were stiff to lose two important midfielders for a large part of the game, but the Dons’ win did keep my tips intact.
                              North will snag a few more wins this year, they’re no longer easy-beats. Wardlaw is an absolute beauty.

                                Thought you meant the RWO tipping competition but looks like you have given up a few weeks ago.
