Round 8: the other games. The battle for the spoon.

Bolton mark turned out to be the highlight of the night for the Tigers. They were really off and Cats really on.

I'll also be taking a perverse pleasure in the consequences of a North win tomorrow, and the Adelaide showdowns are often good. But it's hard to go past our game tomorrow for me. I think Swans are a real chance and it could be a great game.

According to Dimma Geelong are the best team they have faced this year. That’s a reasonable wrap and makes our win last week even more meritorious.
Also interesting that the article on the AFL site fails to make mention of us at all
“ Having already faced fellow premiership contenders like the unbeaten Melbourne, the previously unbeaten Western Bulldogs and last year's preliminary finalists Port Adelaide, Richmond's indifferent start to the season is now reflected in a 4-4 record.“
Definitely flying under the radar and obviously in the eyes of this journalist not a real contender.

Yep; a win tonight *might* change that.

We're still ranked 7th-8th in most power ratings.

I think that's about right.

After tonight, it might be wrong.

Hopefully, mate.

That feels right to me too

Giants sort of in control against The Injectors but Suns and Saints in a final quarter arm wrestle in the King Twins Cup (Ben 3 goals, Max 1 goal).....Suns up by 3 pts 15 minutes in. Can they hang on?

Yep. I feel for Dewy.

Pies v Roos is a predictably poor game. I can’t fathom why the Roos felt the need to cull their list so hard. They just have no targets. Ben Brown for his limitations surely would improve this team.
