There was a team from Melbourne’s west
At their Marvel home all night they were best
Led by Treloar
The Doggies did soar
And were never headed by their guest.
Collingwood 7.9 (51) def. by Western Bulldogs 14.15 (99)
The Hawks got the jump in the first
But the last quarter was easily their worst
Lynch kicked four
As the Tigers did roar
And fans sang the song chorus and verse
Hawthorn 14.10 (94) def. by Richmond 17.15 (117)
Down at Blundstone Arena
The Power took North to the cleaner
They smashed the Roos
Who went on to lose
The 69 point winners couldn’t look much meaner
North Melbourne 6.10 (46) def. by Port Adelaide 17.13 (115)
There were some Saints from Moorabbin
After half-time they came out a jabbin’
Paddy Ryders three goals
Dropped the Cats in a hole
What a season they’re a havin’.
St Kilda 13.12 (90) def. Geelong 11.14 (80)
Franklin, Hayward, Papley and Wicks
Each had goals from two of their kicks
Swans got lots of contested balls
The Bombers hardly any at all
Thus Sydney kicked fourteen goals, Essendon six.
Sydney 14.21 (105) def. Essendon 6.11 (47)
There was a young man named Charlie
His imaginary motorbike could be a Harley
At Adelaide Oval Saturday night
He had it tuned up just right
Those Lions are quite snarly.
Adelaide 9.12 (66) def. by Brisbane Lions 16.6 (102)
Freo’s winning streak run
Came to an end at the hand of the Suns
Marbior Chol kicked four
To shut the Metricon door.
That Touk Miller is really a gun.
Gold Coast 10.9 (69) def. Fremantle 4.9 (33)
Leon Cameron was being farewelled
But you could not really tell
His team didn’t rally
Against the Blues they did dally
And Carlton took the points at the bell.
GWS 11.9 (75) def. by Carlton 15.15 (105)
Late on a Sunday in Perth
The Dees again showed what they’re worth
They smashed the West Coast
Like Avo on Toast
The Eagles had a footy appetite dearth
West Coast 5.8 (38) def. by Melbourne 16.16 (112)
