Round 11

Margot took the honours this week with 7. She was the only one to get GWS over Geelong and Jeremy was the only one to get Hawthorn over Brisbane. No one gets the draw although Jeremy, in desperation to get 4 points to try to move up the ladder, changed his tip in Melbourne-St Kilda to a draw – it didn’t quite come off. Meanwhile, there’s no change at the top of the ladder. Ausi and Hudo both got 6 and are still tied in the lead, one ahead of Robert and Dee.

Well, the Crows deserved to have a big win like that. Mind you, West Coast were back to their old hopeless selves, led by a coach who has no energy or fire and seems to like being in the position of there being no expectation to win (that’s my take on Adam Simpson – I’m not a fan, needless to say). Harley Reid was the only one who really tried. At one point in the commentary, Dwayne Russell said ‘it’s Harley Reid versus the Crows’. Spot on. Anyway, next week the Crows play Hawthorn at the MCG. That will be an interesting game given Hawthorn have come into some form.

Meanwhile in the SANFL, South won their first game for the year on Saturday (see the ‘Panther Watch’ page).
