Four of Round 9’s nine games were decided by a margin of three goals or less.
The Hawks’ defeat of the Giants was the only game in Round 8 decided by a margin of over five goals.
I have formulated the top three players from every team; these are the players that a team could least afford to lose in their Round 8 match as far as team structure is concerned.
This round threw up a couple of surprises, with the Demons victorious against the Hawks and the Bulldogs overcoming the Tigers.
These are the players that each team could least afford to lose in their Round 7 match as far as team structure is concerned.
It was a tough three rounds of football for the coaches in the A-League.
Thanks to the coaches, Rounds 1 to 6 of the 2019 AFL season have been entertaining to watch on the whole.
Round 6 in the AFL has come and gone, and here are the top three players from each side last weekend.
If I picked a team based on the first six rounds of the 2019 AFL season, this is what the 22 would look like.
It was an entertaining round of footy with plenty of surprises, upsets and milestones.
These are the players that each team could least afford to lose in their Round 3 match as far as team structure is concerned.
It was a challenging four rounds of football for the coaches in the A-League.
Each round of the AFL thus far keeps throwing up surprise results and exciting attacking football.
This is the good and bad news for your club after the second round of the season.

The Roar’s A-League team of the season are Johnny Warren Medal contenders
Time will tell whether he can do anything with the current team, without the likes of Birchall and Mitchell and how he goes regenerating the team.
What happened? AFL Round 7, 2019
I am not disputing that Clarkson has been a successful coach. It’s not necessary to comment in that manner when your team has the lost the game to a team coached by someone who has been intensely criticized and scrutinized in the media. You could see the emotion that Goodwin showed after the game and what the win meant to him, I am merely saying that you should show a bit of humility in that situation.

Thanks Peter, that’s exactly why there isn’t one person on the All Australian panel.

Thanks Gordon, the only thing I am looking to accomplish is to remain authentic in my views.

Thanks for that Dingo. I considered putting Dew and Woosha higher, but you can’t keep everyone happy!

Merrett is a quality player who doesn’t have to get clearances to impact the game, Merrett has had one disappointing game this year, but doesn’t need a lot of disposals to impact the game.
My All Australian side after Round 6
Tom Stewart isn’t as good as Webster in my opinion. Duncan’s game in Round 4 was his best. Rohan has been exceptional, not due to anyone else but only because he is an exceptional player in the forward 50.
My All Australian side after Round 6
Talia is elite. Hombsch has been instrumental in the Suns winning half their games. Burton- the recruit of the year. Merrett and Brayshaw are elte. Taberner has kicked a minnimum of 1 goal a game. Duncan is an important player for the Cats. Ebert is outstanding. Worpel and Walsh are integral as they impact the game every time they touch the ball, as does Newman.

Who is shocking in that team? Media hype isn’t everything.
My All Australian side after Round 6
Watch their respective Round 6 games again and then reconsider that point. Merrett is an elite player, he made an impact every time he got the ball.

You can’t say the likes of Whitfield, Boak, Rohan and De Goey are dreadful selections? I am interested in who you would pick in your team?
My All Australian side after Round 6
Thanks for the compliment. Which players selection do you think are contentious?
My All Australian side after Round 6
Who would you take out of the team for Shane Edwards?
My All Australian side after Round 6
The Tigers play team first football, which means they have had even contributions from the twenty-two that step out on the field.
My All Australian side after Round 6
Cripps isn’t as good as Merrett.
Vlastuin was outstanding in Round 6.
Couldn’t put Ablett ahead of the likes of Rohan, Sexton and De Goey.
Grimes hasn’t been as good as the likes of Webster and Burton.
Neale wins plenty of the ball, but look how the Dockers are playing without him.
Couldn’t pick Kelly ahead of Whitfield or Duncan.
My All Australian side after Round 6
Why inconsistent?
It’s merely a difference of opinion.
My All Australian side after Round 6
They are in those positions; Talia and Hombsch over Pearce and let’s not forget Webster.
Witts is outstanding and the Suns have won 3 out of 6 due to him to some extent.
Brayshaw is elite as is Walsh, Worpel and Merrett.
Mckay, Newman, Taberner and Henderson have all played well in the first 6 Rounds.
Why not mention the likes of Sexton, Rohan and De Goey don’t they deserve a spot?
My All Australian side after Round 6
That’s why I’m not on the AA panel to pick the team.
My All Australian side after Round 6
I do watch the Power’s games, but based it on Boak’s starting position and they often name midfielder’s on the half forward flank in the All Australian team.
Mckay is playing in a team that has only registered 1 win and is always an important part of the Blues team as he has kept them competitive in the past 2 weeks in the absence of Charlie Curnow and showed what a good player he was in Round 5 with 4 goals.
My All Australian side after Round 6
You’ll have to wait and see! Looking to do a another AA after Round 11!
