Collingwood vs Adelaide

Result: Collingwood by 27



Boy, the Crows came out strong in the first quarter, kicking the first 4 goals of the match. After that though, Collingwood certainly stepped up. Helped of course with some strong inaccuracy in front of goal.



That said, Collingwood weren't much better in accuracy, particularlt Travis '2.5' Cloke, but I dunno, had the Crows nailed their goals early... I dunno, if's and buts and all that.



Regardless, how good was Scott Pendlebury, who managed a career high 42 touches, 3 brownlow votes and 153SC. Was a great game. Luke Ball and Dane Swan were the only other Pies to crack the ton, but were prominent with a 129SC and a 126SC respectively.



Dayne Beams played his first game for the year, and despite being out on his feet, finished the game on 25 touches and an 88SC. Hoping for a few more games like that though so that he can lower his price for next year! On 85SC was Steele Sidebottom who I thought needed a mention. He scored 85SC despite the fact that he had 28 disposals at an 82% efficiency rate. Tough ratings.



Over on the Crows side, just 3 tons in Tom Lynch with 109SC from 22 touches, Ricky Henderson who made 106SC off 25 touches and Bernie Vince who scored a perfect ton off 21 touches.



Plenty of villians, in particular, Matthew WRIGHT who was subbed off in the third for 24SC and Patrick Dangerfield who got injured early and really, shouldn't have finished the game off.



Might wanna keep an eye on him over the week if you've got him.



Heroes: Scott Pendlebury

Villains: Travis Cloke, Jamie Elliott, Matthew WRIGHT, Patrick Dangerfield, Scott Thompson
Carlton vs St. Kilda

Result: Carlton by 36.



I dunno if it's just because I'm a neutral to this game, but my goodness, I didn't get a lot of enjoyment out of the game. I dunno, perhaps it was a case of lower end teams going at it? Maybe the missus throwing stuff at the TV whenever Milne came on screen? I dunno- didn't feel it.



That said though, we can still take a look at a couple of scores, cause hey- those things are relevant!



Chris Judd was in some vintage form, with 26 disposals, half of which were contested and 137SC. Not too shabby, nor was Lachie Henderson who picked up a massive 125SC off just 16 touches. That said though, there were 12 marks in there, 7 of which were contested. A massive effort.



Kade Simpson, Matthew Kreuzer and Sam Rowe all managed to crack the ton with scores of 119SC, 107SC and 100SC respectively, with that final 100SC to Rowe getting some extra props.



Two tons were posted on the Saints side, there wre from David Armitage, who made a 131SC from 25 touches and Jack Steven who had the pill 22 times for a 127SC.



Nick Riewoldt had a scare early, but managed 88SC. Could have been a lot higher had he converted better than 1.4, but hey- given the worry he gave early, I was happy to see him finish out.



Heroes: Chris Judd, Lachie Henderson, David Armitage, Jack Steven

Villains: Heath Scotland, Leigh Montagna



Western Bulldogs vs Essendon

Result: Essendon by 31.



Momentum is a funny thing in football, and watching the replay of the 200 effort in which the Dogs kicked the final 5 goals of the match to run out 2 goal victors, I gotta say.



Particularly after Hrovat managed to take advantage, drilling the goal from 50 out to bring the margin to just 6 points. Well, until the refs brought the ball back.



Obviously afterwards, Essendon ran out with the win easily- but as I said, momentum is a funny thing, we just don't know how it would have gone.



But that's done. Bombers take the 4 points and the Doggies can hold their heads well high. For the dogs, Tom LIBERATORE top scored with 33 disposals and 125SC. If anyone wants to high up the comments and let me know how many times he's top scored for the Dogs this year, I'd love to know. Feels like he's having a great year.



Will Minson was brave in the ruck, going it alone and picking up 19 touches along the way for a 118SC, while 'rookie' extrodinare Brett Goodes picked up 110SC from 27 touches and continues to hold his place in my team! Would love to know why it's taken so long for this bloke to get on a list though- reckon the first club that has the stone to rebuild through mature picks, rather than 'playing the kids' would turn the competition on it's head.



Koby STEVENS had a ripper of a game. A couple of real special moments on his way to a 98SC from 29 touches.



And just quietly, don't pay full price for players *cough* Ryan Griffen *cough*



On the Bombers side, Jason Winderlich top scored though 24 disposals and 4 goals for a 138SC, while Tom Bellchambers managed 114SC from 14 touches, 2 goals and 29 hitouts. I just want to add here- I love how Belly takes a contested grab. Usually you see them coming out of defence when the Bombers are trying to get it past the zone, but recently, we've seen him take a few more clunkers inside the 50- and for mine, it makes the Bombers a lot more dangerous heading forward.



Dyson HEPPELL was his usual self, with 27 touches and 107SC, while Courtenay Dempsey and Patrick Ryder also managed to crack the ton this week.



I kinda want to give Brent Stanton a villain tag for his 90SC off 29 touches, but really, don't have the heart considering his injury from last week!



Heroes: Tom LIBERATORE, Will Minson, Brett Goodes, Jason Winderlich, Tom Bellchambers

Villains: Ryan Griffen, David Zaharakis




Anyways, how did this week work for you? Get another win on the board?
