AFL  – Round 17

There was a round 17 so sweet and kind,

Was never face so pleased my mind;

I did but see it passing by,

And yet I watched it fly fly fly.

Yes, I’ve lost my mind, Sydney losing to Hawthorn does that, a Cyril moment a Burgoyne special and my mind is turned around and around. No excuses for Freo who should have chalked up another win if it were not for that Dangerman.

Richmond and Dusty are having a thing going on, Bombers were honest without being glamorous, North continued to shock their supporters out of the bones, Port teased theirs with another solid effort.

Doggies too strong for the Sun Gods in the Docklands of the North, a financially more attractive stadium for Gordon’s growlers.

Adelaide flicked the switch and turned off Collingwood’s false hope of a tilt at the finals, Carlton pushed the Eagles all the way proving how different the eagles are when they fear to fly.

St Kilda continued the winning streak of the Demons in a game to decide the winner of most unpredictable tipping team for the year.

GSW v Brisbane, yes it was as ugly as expected, well the scoreline was at least.

Bring on Round 18.
