Twelve weeks into the season and about all we know is that every team is flawed.

Their injury list looks to have gotten longer even during their bye week. Yikes.

Beautifully placed.

After three weeks of home cooking the Cats got a reminder of what it’s like to be on the wrong side of a home-ground advantage. Will be better with the return of Tom Hawkins.

Ladder: 4
That was about as ho-hum as 40-point wins get.

Ladder: 5
Regardless of what the Dogs are, that was a legitimate performance. They’re tough and talented, these Demons – and the fast Etihad track suits them beautifully.

It’s easier to “lol Tigers”, but they were beaten by a team that’s playing good football. Familiar problems emerging with the lower end of their best-22, however.

Ladder: 7
Without their best (and most important) player, the Eagles knocked off a good side. It was a win full of character, and could have been even better if they’d made the most of their chances.

Ladder: 9
The ineptitude of their attack is infecting every other element of the Dogs’ play. A mile off the pace at the moment.

Nothing to see here.

Their form over the past six weeks has been as good as anyone’s. Right back in this season.

Huge game coming out of their bye against Port Adelaide. It could well define their season.

Needed the week off as much as anyone.

Brendon Bolton is a genius. I’m not yet prepared for a world where Liam Jones is a gun defender.

In a lot of ways, this season is going perfectly for North – on track for 6-8 wins and a top-five pick.

Boy are the Suns flakey. Michael Barlow’s injury sucks.

I wonder what Clarko was scheming on his week off.

Far from disgraced themselves against Port Adelaide, but as yet these Lions aren’t ready to mix it with good teams for four quarters. Dayne Zorko is one of the first selected in the All-Australian team right now.
It's a festival of footy as Anzac Round dawns, with matches to be played across a whopping five days in 2024's most spread-out 'weekend'…
Things heating up in Canberra!
Diplomatically answered, Darcy!
For all the pomp and circumstance that surrounds the now-traditional Anzac Day clash at the MCG, there has been one thing conspicuously lacking over…
