It was a round of upsets across the AFL, one that has changed the shape of the season for some of the league's most fancied clubs. We digest the week that was.
If there's one hill we've chosen to die on here at the Round-Up, it is a completely unshakable belief in what Sam Mitchell is doing at Hawthorn.
The young players entrusted with the keys to the Hawks' future are coming of age. Jai Newcombe, Will Day, Conor Nash, and even the next tier below like Cam Mackenzie and Josh Weddle — all play front-foot football, with a pinch of Mitchell himself visible in their games. First up at the MCG, where Fremantle outfought and outgunned Melbourne on their own patch for the second year running. Generally considered one of the three flag favourites this year, the Demons are stuttering and hardly looking like top four bankers at the moment.So far their most substantial win of the season might have come in round one against the Bulldogs.
The Cats have a game against the Bulldogs next week to try to get back into the top eight before their bye. It would take a brave pundit to suggest Geelong will be enjoying an early September holiday, but it's fair to say this is not a situation they foresaw three months ago.Adelaide gave a swift reminder of how serious they are in 2023.
