Round 8: the other games.

[dejavoodoo44]

Lions thrashing the Suns 47-13 about 5 minutes into the second quarter, but it might be a big achievement if they can win from here. They lost Starcevich in the warm up, which brought in a debutant, Morris, as the sub. Unfortunately he already played a full VFL game this afternoon. Then they lost McCarthy a few minutes into the first with a knee injury. Later in the quarter, Answerth was lost to concussion, courtesy of a Jed Walter knee to the head in a marking contest. Now they appear to have also just lost Gardiner to another knee injury.

So, tough to cope with those injuries, but the Suns are playing terribly.

Suns pressure level has been woeful. As evidenced by the 88-28 mark tally in favour of the Lions.

Bulldogs lose to Hawks.

The Beveridge pressure mounts. Would love to see the back of him

Beveridge.....will go down as the worst premiership coach ever....and didn't even deserve that premiership.

Wonder when they'll realise they didnt deserve 2016. I don't know what was more crook - our GF, or the Giants prelim

Both were against NSW teams.....both were crooked as Roger Rogerson.

Lions can't get a goal. 11 behinds in a row. Last week they scored 4 goals 13. Seven and a bit quarters, they've scored 12 goals 31 behinds.

Suns have got a few goals but three since half time is nowhere near enough.

Geez
Thats giving Rogerson a leg up.

This week's fixture: 1st vs 4th, 2nd vs 3rd.

Next week's fixture: 1st vs 6th, 2nd vs 7th, 3rd vs 5th, 4th vs 8th.

It's almost as if the AFL have turned the season into a Swiss tournament.

What a great round. 3 debies, a couple of Vic blockbusters, an upset or two. Even WC were competitive.

Never thought I’d be so pleased to see the Hawks win, and my footy tips (work comp) go to pieces.

They realised it in the bus to the airport after the match. One of their supporters apologised to me and admitted they’d been gifted the match.

Great round this coming week. In a rare event, the top 8 all play each other so there's four current top 8 sides that will lose. The bottom ten all play each other so five sides will make progress against tyhe current top 8 incumbents.

The AFL like this :-)

Brisbane, much decimated, take on the Cows in Adelaide so a likely loss could put them out of finals contention and unfortunately reignite the Cows season.

Pleasing that the 2 "master coaches" rack up 2 losses again

Nasty of me, but nice

Yeah, I was struggling to come up with a good 'crooked' analogy.....I really should have done better.
