Great to see the Roos get up. Not so the Magpies. That's all i'll say on the matter.

game last night was very ordinary. i've never seen a team dominate the centre corridor like melbourne did. i reckon 80% of their forward 50 entries came from within the centre square, while geelong had 90% from either side, along the wings. ugly, ugly football.

hopefully that bris vs syd game will prove to the weaker sides that you get more out of taking it up to a team with more "talent" than trying to restrict the damage. just compare the first versus the second halves.

Is it just me, or is the closest season in recent memory?
We've got the stalwart strong teams from the last few years in Brisbane and Port Adelaide, and the young movers from last season in St. Kilda, Fremantle and Geelong and Sydney, and the big movers in the pre-season this year in West Coast and Carlton. On top of that, Melbourne, the Kangaroos and Adelaide have all impressed more than expected in the first few rounds, and you can't write off Collingwood or Essendon entirely as they have plenty of good players who have won games for them in the past. That only leaves the Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Richmond off the pace, and the Bulldogs seem to be improving as well.
Certainly the hardest season to tip I can remember, and the huge numbers of close games so far in the year back that up. I don't think anybody would have picked Melbourne, West Coast and the Kangaroos to be on top after three rounds last year.
Adelaide are dominating all over the ground at half-time against Port now, up by 27 points with Ricciuto, Mattner and Torney on fire, and McLeod has had a few magic moments as well. I'm increasingly conviced that they are finals material this year, with the old guard doing well and some impressive kids coming through as well.

Wow. Port belted by 68 points in the end, and didn't really win a single position on the ground.

I think I may finish this round with only 2 tips..
I tipped: Geelong, St Kilda, Carlton, Brisbane, Port.. (My winners were West Coast and I think Essendon are safe to win).. And the Bulldogs, the game looks close.
Shocker. Well, my dream team should do alright..

Well that was a bloody brilliant weekend of footy. Especially on Sunday, Essendon just getting over the top of Hawthorn, and Tigers and Bulldogs having a great fight, with Tigers winning two in a row. But i'm sure that streak will be over in no time
I was just looking threw some of the stats. Paul Licuria has had a brilliant first 3 rounds. He has had 98 disposals, 20 more then nearest rival Nick Dal Santo
Oh, and he also is leading Dream Team by 50 points
