It was a round of snakes and ladders as some teams that made early running battle to stay in contention.
After Friday night’s game Carlton’s performance was destined to become the news of the round, until Essendon said, “Hold my beer”.left their fans frustrated and coach Brad Scott barely containing a simmering rage at his side’s lack of effort.
Sitting third at the end of the bye rounds it’s gone downhill fast since then. Perhaps, as Scott hinted, it was a false dawn. In the increasingly likely event the Bombers do miss finals it will be a tough to convince fans that the young brigade are the future and the bandwagon didn’t just hit a giant pothole on the road to a rebuild.The Western Bulldogs have registered their intention to create top-eight chaos by breaking in for the first time since round six.
Throw in Adam Treloar, Tom Liberatore and the around the ground brilliance of Marcus Bontempelli and you have a compelling case that they are a settled, scary side who have timed their run perfectly.
