Adelaide Crows

If

it was the stance in the finals last year and the stare in round 10 this year ...

then

we're wondering what's next. Pyke – one of the game's most fascinating men.


Brisbane Lions

If

you don't ask the question ...

then

you don't know. Hope they don't get it, but nothing wrong in requesting AFL consideration for a priority draft pick.


Carlton

If

you don’t ask the question ...

then

you don't know. Hope they don't get it, but nothing wrong in attempting to negotiate with the AFL a pointy-end draft compo pick should they lose Murphy as a free agent.

Collingwood

If

Gubby was copping the blame last year for the recruitment of Mayne ...

then

will he be lauded if Mayne's good form continues this year? No chance. You know how it goes - success has many fathers, failure is the orphan.

Essendon

If

the past fortnight has been outstanding ...

then

we fear a reality check looms against the Tigers.

Fremantle

If

you must do something this weekend against Collingwood at the 'G ...

then

you must show some form of pulse. Far from convinced that you will.

Geelong Cats

If

you've dared to write-off Gaz ...

then

you're going to look silly. His sense of theatre will see him kick four and rack up 30 disposals against his old club this weekend.

Gold Coast Suns

If

you've had a week off and you're finally back on your home deck ...

then

there's no more excuses. And Lynch, Martin, Day return. Definitely no more excuses.

GWS Giants

If

we were tempted to put a thick, black texta line through this side's premiership credentials after last weekend's loss to the Bombers ...

then

something weird stopped us. Whatever it was, it told us to give the Giants one more chance.

Hawthorn

If

we were talking up premiership credentials after round seven ...

then

we're not after round 10. Cooked.




Melbourne

If

you've kicked 69 goals in your past three matches ...

then

we've got you down for 30 at Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Bulldogs kicked two goals total in round nine, and none after half-time last week.

North Melbourne

If

you properly analyse this club's opening 10 games and take a look at the remaining 12 ...

then

you'll conclude it is making finals.

Port Adelaide

If

a Victorian club ever again sooks about travel (and it most certainly will) ...

then

it should be reminded of the Power's plight to this point of 2018. Inclusive of this round, past five games have been in Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, China, Launceston.

Richmond

If

Caddy's goal-a-game average in 2017 was a good contribution in last year's premiership season ...

then

his three a game return this year is next level.

St Kilda

If

you're going to Perth to play the rampant Eagles without your best player by a mile in Carlisle ...

then

we genuinely fear how ugly this could get.

Sydney Swans

If

he hasn't booted a bag since round one ...

then

we're predicting another big Buddy haul against the Blues. We're pencilling in seven.

West Coast Eagles

If

Dom Sheed is unable to make the cut ...

then

nothing more needs to be said about the might of this team to this point of 2018.

Western Bulldogs

If

Mitch Wallis can't get a game ...

then

there are problems.

If

we get through round 11 without a crowd brawl or goal-scoring review controversy ...

then

it will be novelty round.
