We have only one unbeaten team left STILL! Geelong was able to hold off Hippo’s Blues to remain the sole unbeaten. GWS is still hot on their heels with only the one loss from last week. Surprisingly, so are the Swans. Let’s see what happened.

Notes and Comments

The Burning Question from last week was: Are Hippo’s Blues the real deal? Well, the jury is still out. True, they lost to Geelong but they made a valiant effort to come back and if it wasn’t for some inaccuracy, they might have won. The answer is a Definite Maybe.

Congrats to Spammy for a perfect week of tipping! 9 for 9 is not too shabby. Luckily, the rest of us didn’t do too badly and are keeping it close.

The Essendon-Collingwood draw was kinda fun to watch. Some people are calling for some kind of OT for the regular season, but I like the beauty of the draw. It’s so rare. It also kept Essendon in the Eight and will be important when it comes to determining who makes Finals

It is really crazy to me that Brisbane only have two wins the entire year. WTF happened to them? Last year, they barely lost the Grand Final by 4 to Collingwood and now they can’t win a game. Collingwood is not doing that much better. They only have 3 wins and the draw.

How bad is North Melbourne that the greatest coach in the modern era (Alastair Clarkson) can’t get one win with them?

If you haven’t become a member of a club or signed up for the Watch AFL app, you can still watch the games in the USA on either FS1 or FS2 and in Canada on TSN. Showtimes can be found here on the Australian Football Association of North America website.
