EDIT: This weeks round review was supplied by Sainters. Youre a legend mate. - Also, youll find it over the break.
Alright guys, the full review is gunna be late tonight, but just a few quick points.
Firstly, the halcyon days of Saturday night all but asploded with StevieJ being replaced by Issac Smiths 10 on Sunday- Hurts even more that I had Mzungu as a midfield emergency- and even *more* that I was high-5ing myself of Saturday night at my decision to move Petrie to the rucks, being Z. Smith and move NRoo from Forward emergency to F7. Its a funny old game.
Still, wound up with a 2553, not bad, but enough to win just a *single* league game! Just one!!
So, how did you all go? For those playing at home, the highest score Ive seen so far is a 2734, while the comp leader, Impromptu got himself a 2576. Huge in any other week!

Melbourne V Hawthorn
Hawthorn Defeated Melbourne by 54 points
In Cyril Rioli’s first game back from his 2nd hamstring of the season, he showed that he was fully fit and ready to fire, kicking a goal after just 1 mminute and 38 seconds. Hawthorn’s midfielders got amongst the goals early on, with Mitchell & Hodge kicking back to backs. Lance Franklin kicked 2 for the quarter, and Luke Breust nailed one, to keep a good goalkicking run going, has kicked a total of 16 goals, Melbourne tried to narrow margin inthe middle parts of the quarter with 3 quick goals from Sylvia, Howe & Dunn in the space of 5 minutes, but still trailed and at the end of the quarter, it was 6.1 37 to 3.3 21. Mitchell & Hodge both played solid games each, with 111 SuperCoach & 109 SuperCoach respectively. Moloney & Trengove had poor games in the middle, the opposite to Mitchell and Hodge, with 82 SuperCoach & 54 SC. Young gun Jordan Gysberts gets a return of 63 SC, and that pretty much sums up Melbourne’s poor performance, Nathan Jones & Ricky Petterd also got smashed in the middle with 74 SuperCoach each. Brad Green kicked 4 goals and was rewarded with 104 SC, while Lance Franklin, kicked 5 goals for a very good score of 132 SC.

Villains: Trengove – Moloney – Puopolo – Smith
Fremantle V West Coast
West Coast Defeated Fremantle by 1 point
The two West Australian teams field onto the ground for another derby, a classic it was bound to be. No longer was it a game, where both teams were sitting on the bottom of the table with a percentage of 50 and 1 win on the board, it was actually exciting in the lead up, both teams playing well, inside the top 8, and winning their last few. It was going to be a cracker. Matthew Pavlich had an extremely slow start, a bit like my Internet Connection tonight, with just 4 disposals halfway through the 2nd, he lifted his game, and finished with around 20, but only 74 SC. Tendai Mzungu came off the bench for a few with the loss of Stevie J, and filled in well for a 95 SC, in the best 3 for Freo. Greg Broughton was back to his 2010 best, officially with 26 disposals, 16 in the first half. JJ Kennedy kicked 3.4 and was solid throughout the game. At the end of the game, Hayden Ballantyne had a shot for goal after the siren, to win the match, it was from the boundary line, and 50 metres out. He hit the post, serious. During the week Jeff G-g-g-g-g (you know who I’m talking about) said that the kick should’ve been disallowed anyhow, because Ballantyne “ran over the markâ€, the big Q-Stick (been a while since we’ve used that nickname?) stood a couple of metres behind the mark, and apparently Ballantyne went over it, i think they were trying to state he ran off his line, more like it. So Ballantyne hits the post and West Coast win their 2nd derby for the year. Greg Broughton scores 105 SC. Michael Barlow showed some patches of his debut season, colecting 26 disposals and 101 SC. Cox (149 SC), LeCras (134 SC) & Shuey (114 SC) were all the best for the Eagles, Kennedy’s 3 goals helped him to a 100 SC. Nat Fyfe scored 119 SC, while Zac Clarke, the big ruckmen, kicked 2 handy goals, for a 118 SC.
Heroes: Broughton – Cox – Fyfe – LeCras
Villains: Priddis (how did he get 99 SuperCoach from 14 disposals, huh? – Lower – Pavlich – Duffield – Ballanyne (to the Dockers
