Not sure if there's too many games to get excited about this round. Maybe the Saturday game between the Suns and the Crows will be the best of them? Possibly the Demons v the Bulldogs, or the Dockers hosting the Lions?
I suspect tonight's game will be a bit one-sided, but who knows, maybe first half Carlton will show up, rather than second half?

Yes, but I suspect that Richmond are on a downward slide, while I suspect that Carlton are flagrantly rorting the salary cap.
But hey, the umpires seem keen to give Tom Lynch shots at goal.
I'm sure the brown visy bags are getting a workout again......may that club never win a thing again!
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
And I'm sure that we'll soon get some AFL media guff, along the lines of: oh no, Carlton have actually got plenty of salary cap space, due to all their star players being paid unders, because they really love the cafes on Lygon Street. Or some such crap. Similar crap to how the Geelong players were never getting as much as people thought, because of their love of country air or whatever.
Tigers in huge injury trouble but holding a small lead half way through the first quarter.
They deserve to win - but probably won't be able to hang on.

I was just about to type that the upset is looking good and then Mansell whacked it into the post from 5 metres out.
I suspect that the Richmond fans are currently a touch unhappy with the umpiring.
23 - 13 Carlton's way so far.
They won the count 20 -16 last week.
They're not going to be this year's Bulldogs, are they?

Carlton win by 5 points. A shame Richmond couldn't get up with several scoring opportunities late and not getting anything from them.
Carlton' last 6 wins have been by 5 points, 1 point, 2 points, 6 points (against Sydney in a final, boo), 4 points and 4 points. They also had 2 losses in that time, by 16 and 32 points.
Barracking for whoever is playing against Carlton is not working very well lately.

I hope I live long enough to see a free paid against Cripps!
He does seem to have perfected the mystifying art of the one handed handball.
