Luckily I didn’t bet on any games this weekend.

Six Points: Greene lucky to only get a week, 2024's two best wins, and the moment that sums up woeful Roos

1.. Reality check for Port.
2.. The music, crowd competitions, “comedy” and interviews in every break are over the top these days.
3.. Well done to anyone who got 5 or 6 and even one 7 on the tipping leader board.

Maybe miss out on the top 4 but I doubt Port will miss the finals completely. A pretty good chance of being 5 and 2 after next Friday.

Footy Fix: The Pies might have embarrassed Port... but they're still not back to their best. Yet

Port is probably qualifying around fifth or sixth this year. Top 4 and the double chance is going to be very tough to crack.

Doesn’t rate the Lions but they’re still one of the favourites for the premiership.

The data says Brisbane are a flag contender - but the eye test tells a completely different story

Some smart tipping last night Charlie 😊

Footy Fix: The Saints were ten times as rubbish as the Dogs were last week - and it's worth working out why

Nah no conspiracies from me Steele. Just commenting on a few extra points. Bevo is in the news but I thought the Crows and Eagles were a big story as well.

It’s a hard knock life..

AFL News: Why Cameron escaped ban for dumping tackle, Blues star hit for six, Dees re-sign fan favourite

I’m not sure that a one game suspension is comparable to serious crime or killing a bloke.

It seems like Travis still knows which end of the bat to hold.

Some talking points from round 5 for supporters outside of Victoria…
1. The Eagles and Harley Reid
2. The 0-4 Crows away win over the 4-0 Blues. Can the new look midfield be the spark they need? And the sub, Sam Berry’s last quarter.
3. Brisbane winning at the MCG. And winning easily. Could there be a GWS v Brisbane Grand Final on the cards?
4. The continued form of Pearce and Ryan for Freo. And Serong could win the Brownlow.
5. The Suns are starting to develop a strong home ground advantage. They’re in the 8, can they stay there with their draw this year?
6. GWS are still on top and still the favourites in the betting.
Sydney and Port are accumulating early wins are are both well placed for a finals run.

Yeah we’re not going to miss Stuart Broad!

Always bet on maroon!

Footy Fix: Chris Fagan's finest hour? How the Lions gave the Dees - and Simon Goodwin - the mother of all baths

Yeah I bombed out in the opening round and then tried tipping upsets to catch up. Just made it worse.

It seems like another easy tipping round. Going with all the favourites except for the Eagles over Richmond. And Port is more than three players.

Not too good I mean

AFL News: Calls for Finlayson to cop ban for 'unacceptable' homophobic slur, Port coaching change on the way

Yes I agree. I was trying to say the same thing but it sounded like I was having a go at XI. Apologies I’m too good with words on here. I’m not defending either one. I tried to edit my comment but it was too late. The precedent in the NRL is 4 weeks.

It might be better to keep Nick’s around until the Crows move into their new $100 million home near the CBD.
And then change coaches. A brand new training centre after 30 years at West Lakes and a new coach at the same time.
Hayden Skipworth should be the target. His CV is outstanding.

What punishment do you think would be appropriate XI ?
Clarkson basically got off scot-free. North probably paid his fine.

Keep coming back Pete. Carlton is pretty popular over here with the SA connection of Kernahan, Bradley, Peter Motley and Mark Naley etc.

Six Points: Clutch kings do it again, footy's dirtiest player, and debunking 'Vic-centric' fixture myth

Four tall forwards is probably one too many against Freo’s defence next week anyway. If he is suspended, SPP comes straight back in bringing more pressure near the goals. And more speed.

The last time this happened in the NRL the player got a 4 week suspension. The AFL might turn it into a big deal.

3 wins out of 4 is a great start for Freo but…
Collingwood and Brisbane will almost certainly recover and play finals.
There isn’t room for everyone

Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did

We will know a bit more about Freo’s midfield and defence after they play Carlton today.

Footy Fix: Does the Essendon Edge not apply to Connor Rozee or something?
