Port Adelaide vs Geelong
Port Adelaide 14.7 91 – Geelong 17.10 112
(Geelong by 21 Points)
The Power hosted the Cats, and the match was close for the majority of the contest. However, the big Cats forwards were the difference in the end and had a massive impact on steering the Cats to victory.
Jeremy Cameron was an X-Factor booting 5 Goals, whilst the consistency of Tom Hawkins throughout the contest and the big finish from Gary Rohan helped the Cats to the away win.
Defenders Tom Stewart and Jack Henry were also significant down back when the game mattered.
For the Power, Ollie Wines was the best midfielder on the ground, and Travis Boak again had an impact. Connor Rozee had a huge first-half, and Charlie Dixon presented well all match up forward.

Connor Rozee – 16 Disposals, 8 Score Involvements, 410 Metres Gained and 5 Goals

Sydney vs Hawthorn
Sydney 7.9 51 – Hawthorn 14.5 89
(Hawthorn by 38 Points)
The Swans were outplayed in this clash and came out a bit sluggish after the bye. The Hawks have been out of form, but Alistair Clarkson had them up and about in an impressive upset win.
Tom Mitchell won a lot of the football in the middle of the ground, and Jonathon Ceglar had a massive game in the ruck. Jaeger O’Meara got better as the game went on, and defender Changkouth Jiath showed his electrifying pace and ability to rebound the ball out of the defensive 50.
The Swans were outplayed, but their usual contributors, Josh Kennedy, Callum Mills, had an impact and Dayne Rampe was busy down back.

Fremantle vs Gold Coast
Fremantle 11.10 76 – Gold Coast 6.13 49
(Fremantle by 27 Points)
The Dockers were without their captain, but a few others stepped up in an impressive home win.
Sean Darcy continued his impressive form and was probably the best player on the ground, whilst Andrew Brayshaw and David Mundy had their usual impact in the middle of the ground.
Defenders Luke Ryan, James Aish and Alex Pearce impressed, and the emergence of Josh Treacy up forward will please Fremantle fans.
The Suns hung around in this clash, and a couple of their usual contributors in Touk Miller and Hugh Greenwood, were their best players.

St Kilda vs Adelaide
St Kilda 8.12 60 – Adelaide 9.12 66
(Adelaide by 6 Points)
The Saints looked to be cruising to an easy victory up in Cairns until the last quarter, where the Crows stormed home and pinched the match.
The Crows have found some consistent contributors in the middle this season, with Rory Laird and Ben Keays again having a significant impact on the result.
Paul Seedsman was again very good, and Reilly O’Brien is beginning to find some consistency. Rookie Riley Thilthorpe was also an X-Factor in the last quarter.
The Saints lost the match, but Jack Steele will again be one of the favourites for best on the ground honours. Brad Crouch had a decent night against his former team, and defenders Dougal Howard and Tom Highmore held their own down back.

North Melbourne vs GWS
North Melbourne 14.10 94 – GWS 14.10 94
(Draw)
The first draw of the season, and the Kangaroos are proving some critics wrong with their ability to at least be competitive in matches.
There was a standout in this game, with GWS midfielder Josh Kelly having a big match in the middle of the ground and winning a lot of the football. Tim Taranto also had an impact, and Nick Haynes was outstanding on the back-half for the Giants.

West Coast vs Richmond
West Coast 13.7 85 – Richmond 12.9 81
(West Coast by 4 Points)
The much anticipated Sunday Evening clash at Optus Stadium didn’t disappoint and went down to the wire, with Josh Kennedy kicking the winning goal for West Coast in the last minute.
