    Yep, the honeymoon is definitely over baby.

    Round 3 came along with disaster following disaster.

    I think this can be seen by looking at the highest score for the round, 2565. Which would have been well down the tree in weeks gone by!

    It also looks like the leagues are a little messed up, so well get an update on that later.

    As for the football, it was injury after poor performance after injury.

    Dangerfield was luckily cleared of neck fractures.
    Bock copped a hamstring injury.
    Tippett performed badly with an ankle sprain.
    The latest on Riewoldt is that hell be undergoing surgery. So surely he must be traded, though there might be so reasoning behind holding him an extra week as a good amount of premiums are dropping in price.
    Hargrave was taken to hospital for a CT scan. So well find out about that soon.
    Lewis and Fisher are both tough as nails coming back after a stretchering, but both got back on the field.

    Jolly, McIntosh, Seaby, Kreuzer, Clark, Tippett all continued with the ongoing theme of poor rucks.

    But it wasnt all bad, there was a couple of wins this weekend. Namely, Fremantle.

    How good have they been this year? Can they keep it up? Had someone told me at the start of the year that they would beat Adelaide, Essendon, Geelong and might go in as favorites against the Saint, I would have laughed at you.

    The highest scorers for the round:
    176, Brent Harvey - Coming back like a champion and hurting all those who jumped off him.
    161, Ben McGlynn - 31 touches and a career high score for the boy.
    157, Gary Ablett - Punishing everyone who dared stray from the perma-captain himself.
    156, Luke Hodge - Surely hes in everyone team right?
    149, Paul Chapman - A breakeven of 100, gotta look at him as a replacement for Roo.

    Another good thing, the Salary predictions look pretty damn close, so Ive turned on the live calculations on the Live Scoring pages. So now, you can follow along as the games go on, what salary a player will have. (Though I really need to get this darn live SuperCoach score algorithm right one of these days!)

    Also, the Gold Coast had their first run out in the VFL going down to Port Melbourne. Ill be following them pretty closely this year because they are going to be *very* important to all of us next year!

    So there you go, stats are uploading now, howd you go this week?
