After the weekend.

Wow what an interesting round...that's for sure!

Friday Night saw an interesting game for many reasons. For one thing St Kilda won by 28 points and really Collingwood could have won if they kicked straight. Hmm maybe they should try kicking crooked and it might go straight for a change. Another bad thing happened from St Kilda's point of view where Nick Riewoldt done his hamstring and will be out for over 10 weeks not 100 percent sure yet. The most controversial thing was the "Who said what" conversation at the game. It was claimed by St Kilda players that Mick Malthouse called one of their players a "***ing racist" work out who it was for those living under a plant. Later Mick denied any conversation sparking controversy. The people involved were fined and that's the end of that.

Saturday saw North Melbourne host West Coast at Etihad Stadium. It was a rather see sawing game which eventually saw North win by 25 points and Brent Harvey getting 44 possessions after getting 5 the previous week and the Roos losing by 104 points. West Coast are now 0-3 at the start of the year and host Essendon on Friday Night. Hmm interesting game.

Saturday arvo also saw Port Adelaide host Brisbane at AAMI Stadium. Port were never in the game as Brisbane controlled the game with Brown kicking 5, Fev with 3 and Sherman kicking 4 going on to win by 25 points.

Saturday Night saw Sydney host Richmond at the SCG. Hmm Richmond were never in the game Sydney were in control and look good winning by 55 points. To make matters worse for the Tigers there were some players later suspended by the club for "over doing it" after the game, you work out the blanks.

Saturday Night also saw Carlton host Essendon at the MCG. This was the weirdest game of the round for me on so many different levels. The game was not the best in terms of excitement and the umpiring was well crap and rediculous. Oh yeah and Essendon won by 20 points in a low scoring game.

Sunday saw Melbourne host Adelaide at the MCG. If you thought that Saturday Night was low scoring well then this took the cake! It was a hard an tough game with some rather testy conditions which eventually saw the Demons win by 16 points. Great to see the Demons win a game after narrowly losing to Collingwood the week before. Adelaide on the otherhand were 0-3 after three rounds and have Carlton at home this week.

A great match up was the Western Bulldogs hosting Hawthorn at Etihad Stadium. By all accounts I heard that this was a tough game that saw the Dogs win by 16 points. Franklin got suspended for one match for his bump and there were injuries and concussions that's how tough the game was.

For me match of the round was Fremantle hosting Geelong at Subiaco. It was a see sawing game and both teams had the lead in different stages of the game before Fremantle edged ahead and winning by 7 points in a sort of upset. Fremantle winning the first three games of the year, the first time for absolute ages. Geelong missing players will get those next week while Fremantle meet St Kilda at Etihad in a top of the table clash.

Well 6 out of 8, not bad. Let's see how I go next week.
