Round 10 – This blue winning wave was navy, not teal

Are these Blues the real deal?

Friday night had a prove yourself feel

The Swans got a start

The Blues showed great heart

This blue winning wave was navy, not teal.

Carlton 15.12 (102) defeated Sydney 13.9 (87)

 

After half-time the difference between these two was stark

Theres a hole at Kardinia Park

Port wasn’t good

If they could go home they would

But they didn’t have the cover of dark.

Geelong 11.16 (82) defeated Port Adelaide 7.5 (47)

 

The Bulldogs hosted the Suns

Joel Jeffery kicked (5) goals for fun

But Naughton and Bont

Did much as they want

To notch back-to-back wins on the run.

Western Bulldogs 15.16 (106) defeated Gold Coast 13.9 (87)

 

In Adelaide the Crows were on

And maybe at ¾ St Kilda fans were forlorn

But the Saints had tricks

Big Max King kicked six

And the Crows fans faces were wan.

Adelaide 9.15 (69) lost to St Kilda 14.6 (90)

 

Dreamtime at the ‘G’ was on again

The pre-match was stunning and then

The Tigers rocked the joint

Won by 32 points

Prestia won the Yiooken Award as the best of the men.

Richmond 11.14 (80) defeated Essendon 7.6 (48)

 

The Giants coach of the interim

Went up against Adam Simpson

But often in battle

It’s more about the cattle

And the Western Sydney herd got stuck into ‘em.

GWS Giants 21.12 (138) defeated West Coast 13.8 (86)

 

The Dees and the Kangas were playing

It was a foregone conclusion I’m saying

But the Kangas showed fight

But couldn’t beat the might

Of the premiers giving them a mild flaying

North Melbourne 8.5 (53) lost to Naarm 14.16 (100)

 

The Hawks had a fortress in Launceston

It didn’t keep Lions out, but repressed them

Though the Lions were favoured

They heavily laboured

And the kid from Poowong got ‘best on’.

Hawthorn 18.9  (117) defeated Brisbane Lions 17.1 (112)

 

Collingwood flew interstate

A rare outing, but often they’re great

Away from home

Their confidence has grown

They served it up to the Dockers on a plate.

Fremantle 6.8(44) lost to Collingwood 12.8 (80)
