Please, 90s? We OWN the 90s... 
Hahahah..
I think that perhaps this weeks ladder is the best Ive seen in a while. Number one, were at the top (even if its only for one week, Im stoked) and Essendon are at the bottom. I hate Essendon.
Is it just me or is the whole "premiership favourites" tag getting severely overused this season? It changes every week, for crying out loud. I never remember the media/commentators banging on about it quite so frequently.
Btw, 4 for me this round, 18 all up. My brother managed 6! Absolute fluke, if you ask me.

The premiers are pretty bloody hard to tip this year though. I mean think about recent years, how many contenders have there been? Last year - Brisbane, Port and St. Kilda. 2003, Brisbane, Port and Collingwood. 2002, Brisbane, Port, Adelaide and Collingwood. 2001, Brisbane and Essendon. 2000, Essendon. 
This year there's about 10 who I could see winning it! West Coast are probably favourites right now, but you can't write off Brisbane or Port entirely either given how much they have shown in the last few years, and then you've got St. Kilda who have heaps of talent, and Melbourne, Kangaroos and Adelaide who have proven themselves to be quality sides in the first few rounds (although honestly I find it really hard to see this Kangaroos team making the GF), and maybe even Sydney as well.
Big thing is, for me at least, in recent years there might be a whole bunch of good sides but only a few I could really see actually winning it at the end. I wouldn't be willing to put my money on anyone right now, or even able to pick out say 4 sides who stand out ahead of the rest.

Really good start to the round tonight. Cats getting over the top of Port by just 4 points in a great game. I missed about half of the game, but I was lucky enough to see two brilliant contested marks. First Brad Ottens in the goal square, Wakelin was all over him and he just plucked it centimetres form his face. And then Ling took a great mark in the dying stages infront of Primus, while many Port players were ready at the drop of the ball. Great stuff.

Pretty uninteresting game between the Bulldogs and the Crows, very sloppy. Adelaide lead 9.9 to 6.8 at half time, by 19 points. Dogs playing a really loose sort of game with little marking, so it's basically a shoot-out through the midfield with lots of players getting a heap of the ball, but the skill levels are not particularly high. Adelaide should probably be further in front.
Good games so far from Murphy, Smith and Johnson for the Dogs, and Goodwin is dominating for the crows and is easily BoG so far in his 150th, with 16 touches and a goal. Ricciuto, Edwards, Perrie and Bassett also having a good time of it. McLeod is having a shocker, with just 5 touches to half time, and virtually unsighted except for one length of the ground run just at the end of the second quarter.

Amazing third quarter here. Into the dying minutes and the Bulldogs are up by 23 points, with 8.1 to 1.1 for the quarter so far. West has had 16 touches for the quarter, and Darcy has four goals in it. The crows have gone dead in the middle, with Goodwin, Edwards and Ricciuto nowhere near it.
edit: make that 9.1 to 1.1 for the quarter, and 17 touches for West. He had 5 kicks and 8 hanballs to half time, now 11 and 19. Bulldogs lead by 29 with a quarter to play, looks like we've got an upset coming.
