Almanac Weekend Sports Results 3/7/16

AFL  – Round 15

Round three of the byes continued no Hawthorn, Fremantle, Brisbane, North Melbourne, GWS or Geelong. Instead we were forced to endure Collingwood dishing out a dose of average football to defeat Carlton,  Son of Jo made his debut.

West Coast thumped Essendon, not much longer for them to suffer the season of sorrow.

Richmond looked inept against Port or was that me watching St Kilda against Gold Coast? Same thing really. Sydney lost a another close game against the Bulldogs, this season of close losses will not help their ladder position, while Melbourne thumped their collective chests to see Adelaide outshoot them in an entertaining game at the G, Australia’s home of football stuff.

 

Matches to date winners and losers.
