The Blues competed with no Voss
Covid ruled out their boss
The Bulldog’s last quarter poor kicking
Saw them take a licking
And a second consecutive loss
Western Bulldogs 13.12 (90) def. by Carlton 16.6 (102)
There was a man named Lance
Who lead defenders on a merry dance
They came from the stand
As he notched up a grand
The poor Cats never stood a chance
Sydney 17.5 (107) def. Geelong 10.17 (77)
Collingwood hosted the Crows
They were never headed by their interstate foes
There was no harm
From a mid-game false alarm
To the Pies, the four premiership points goes.
Collingwood 15.10 (100) def. Adelaide 8.10 (58)
Two metre Peter got Essendon out of the blocks
The Lions put them back in their box
Though Jo Daniher was booed
He goaled one, then two
And late, the Bombers lost an injured Nik Cox
Essendon 10.15 (75) def. by Brisbane Lions 15.7 (97)
Lewis and Gunston and Breust
Kicked 11 goals in a boost
To an emerging Hawks team
Not recently seen
Leaving Port feeling somewhat abused.
Port Adelaide 7.14 (56) def. by Hawthorn 19.6 (120)
The Dees banked another four points for fun
Petracca continued to run
The Suns without Rankine
Just couldn’t get crankin’
Even though Touk Miller’s a gun.
Gold Coast 10.9 (69) def. by Melbourne 12.10 (82)
Covid caused havoc out West
For the Eagles this would be a test
The Kanga’s did pounce
But not completely trounce
Larkey with 6 was the best.
North Melbourne 10.14 (74) def. West Coast 8.11 (59)
Callan Ward notched up game 250
Very early the Giants looked nifty
But the Tigers took charge
And the margin was large
A 6 goal loss to the team from west Sydney
Richmond 16.13 (109) def. Greater Western Sydney 10.13 (73)
King and Higgins went into the breach
And kicked four magnificent goals each
With 40 disposals Brayshaw
Couldn’t do that much more
As the Saints finished just out of reach
Fremantle 8.7 (55) def. by St Kilda 9.11 (65)
