Notes and Comments

Rikki’s Bombers fell to Hippo’s Blues, who have seemed to turn around their season. Both teams are on the top four and, if this were to remain the case at the end of the year, they would both get the Second Chance during Finals.

Geelong blew a large lead to the Swans in Sydney as the league leaders continued to show they are the best team in the AFL. On the bright side, they played well. On the not so bright side, they could not consolidate the win. Sydney was too good.

I think the biggest surprise of the week was Hawthorn beating the Giants in Tasmania. I have no idea how that happened, but I’m guessing injuries played a big part.

The byes finish next week with a lot of teams getting a break. There will only be six games played.

Congratulations to Dolph Ucker for getting five picks correct this week! Just like that, he’s back in contention. There is still a TIE at the top although it’s now Litre and Spam that are tied. Litre is still technically ahead by score differential.

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.

Don’t forget to put the Footy Tips in!

See you next week!
