Round 6: the other games.

[dejavoodoo44]

It could be a very good round of football, with every match up looking like a decent game. Even the 17th v 18th clash of North and Melbourne has some sort of appeal, with Mitchell going up against his old mentor Clarkson. While the WA derby might not be so one-sided, with the Eagles finally starting to show a bit of form.

Then there's the heavyweight clashes between Carlton and GWS, Collingwood and Port, and Brisbane hosting Geelong.

While tonight has St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs. Which I suspect could go two ways. Either a tight, enthralling contest, or the Bulldogs being so lacklustre, that the calls to sack Beveridge become almost deafening.

The Poodles are smashing St.Kilda at half time and the free kick count is 11 - 3 in their favour. I reckon almost all of the 11 frees that have gone the Poodles' way have been correctly adjudicated. As always with them, though, it's the ones that the opposition don't get paid that are the killers. One of the Poodle goals in the second quarter eventuated from a Treloar throw that was so bad that Channel 7 replayed it and commented on it. They've been far too good for St.Kilda, so far, but they're definitely getting the better of the umpiring - again.
