Reigning premiers Geelong are the only winless team left in the AFL, as round three delivers another Showdown to remember and a Demons performance that caught the eye. We digest the week that was.
But this one is a bit different. The Suns were pretty damn good, showcasing the daring and high-pressure version of themselves we get to see on occasion, but Geelong seemed to let this loss happen.
The hole left by Joel Selwood is bigger than perhaps we expected. So much was made of Selwood's aura and leadership, that his actual quality as a footballer could often be forgotten. The Cats are missing both at the moment.The fixture improves for Geelong in coming weeks — though we said that last week too — but the injury list is worsening.
Or it could have been any of the game-breaking grabs and goals from Riley Thilthorpe, who throughout his career has looked equal parts entirely lost and unstoppable force.It was much needed reward for effort for Adelaide, and just another set of questions for Ken Hinkley and Port Adelaide to ponder. The return of Steven May seemed to signal the return of Melbourne early, as he and Jake Lever put that familiar wall back up and largely stifled Sydney's ball movement.The Demons scored from counter-attack and stood up in the contest, thanks largely to the phenomenal Clayton Oliver. They were dead-eye in front of goal and threatened to run away from the Swans early.
