Notes and Comments

BFC and Lemonjello’s GWS Giants are still undefeated and at the top of the ladder after a really tough game against the Saints. My Cats are right behind them on percentage with this week’s big blowout helping to narrow the gap. Both teams have tough games this coming week, so at least one undefeated may fall.

Hippo’s Blues lost a bit of a shocker to the Crows at home. They get the Giants next so it will be interesting to see how they react to the loss.

It was a tough week for Footy Tipping as there were a lot of upsets. Kudos to BFC and BC Dick for getting above 500!

Speaking of upsets, how about those Eagles beating Richmond! And handily too! Hopefully that means they are on their way back to being a contender. Or at least not embarrassing themselves on a regular basis.

Litre jokes about St. Kilda but look at their ladder position and look at their last five games. The man knows his team…

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!
