I also firmly believe if the younguns don't get a chance to make mistakes and learn - they will never develop footy smarts.

So, Lucy, you're tipping Monfries to be an all-time great?

Biggest loser - Saints or Essendon. Take your pick

Biggest loser - Akermanis. (He was doing alright, taking his demotion like a professional, plyaed really well in the twos and then today! - opened his mouth.) Sorry Aker I love the way you play and can appreciate you contribution to our great team, but mate remember it is about the team and not YOU!

But Greg would have well and truly shut up by now. Maybe Jase deep down just doesn't have the brains.

Biggest Loser Terry Wallace - You won Terry, but you did the game of AFL no favours.

Dishonorable mentions:

The whole Carlton team (minus Brendan Fevola) for amassing an incredible SEVEN BEHINDS (some of which may have been rushed) through four quarters of football. As Denis says, one step forwards, one Evel Kneivel leap backwards.

Hawthorn and Port weren't a whole lot better and Geelong weren't better at all and may even have been worse, albeit against better opposition.

The fact that the PFJ's ambush worked on Saturday was at least as much Clever Clogs Craig's fault as Wallace's.

2. Melbourne - especially Brock McLean. He's got all the skills, is tough as nails and is as much a leader of the D's as Neitz.

1. Terry Wallace and the Tigers. They played the game to their strenghts. And it would have only worked at the basketball stadium Telstra dome. Try doing it against Geelong at Kardinia Park this weekend and they will get belted by a hundred again.

Losers - Geelong. Best team they had on the paddock all year and were abysmal. Honourable mentions - bye bye for 06 for the Kangas, Bombers, Port and Carlton. They should all tank it for the next 16 weeks and hope for high draft picks as none of them are any good...

Fev kicked five of Carlton's ten behinds, and three more were contributed by the opposition. The remaining two came from Simon Wiggins.

When was the last time Mr Rushed, the football equivalent of Tim Lane's mate Xavier Tras, was the second-largest contributor to a team's score?

I'm going to become quite Lioncentric for awhile just to make sure the boys feel supported! :)

'Dick the Head' must be the worst captain the AFL has seen since Murray Rance.

3. Richmond Football Club - another win against all odds.
2. Brisbane - on their way back?
1. Rhyce Shaw - on the long road to recovery after an ACL.

Losers of the week? A tie between Carlton/Geelong/Essendon/Hawks/Roos/Freo players and coaches

Worst luck of the week
Rob Murphy and the Dogs as they lose their 4th player to ACL for the season...

Biggest Loser: ESSENDON.

-2 The umpire who paid that horrible free kick against Milburn. When you are not you are not!

-1 Geelong's kicking in the last quarter. Bad kicking is bad fooball.

REB

Biggest loser - The Kangaroos fan hit by a train after the verbal exchange with Laidley

-2 The judo throw which ended Murphy's season. Anthony Rocca isn't the type of player to deliberately wreck another bloke's knee, but any players like that who are around, now have a video step-by-step guide how to do it. Next similar injury and the rules will be looked at, and the Dermies will all resume their 'netball' whine

-1 Thommo for his 'go home at quarter time' threat. Not for the first time in 2006, a bloke called Thompson slipped out of the media gaze between Saturday afternoon and Monday morning because their attention was diverted elsewhere on Sunday

2 Ben Cousins. Sometimes not the cleverest boy in the class off-field but always a totally committed professional on it. (Er, Ben, you do realise you're a million-to-one shot to get the Chief Tosser gig back while Juddy's out, of course? Good.)

1 Robert Murphy. For the best pre-game interview I've heard all season. This boy is a genuine, non-media-manufactured Character. And the longer he can keep Eddie and co at arm's length, the longer he'll stay that way.

Biggest loser - Essendon for the second week running.

-2 Grant Thomas for his woeful comments in the press conference after the Melbourne game. Worst metaphor for the season. What a git.

-1 The idiot who called Brogan a dickhead, even though Brogan proved he was by punching out the knob jockey.

regards,

REB

Are you talking about the Smartie comment?

2. Geelong football club. How can you lose a game when you are nine goals up halfway through the third quarter? Only the Cats could have managed it. - I'm absolutely staggered that Thomposn moved Mooney!

1. Leppitsch retirement - very sad.

regards,

REB

Has the Saints' window of oppurtunity closed? Have they blown it? Will this list ever get a premiership? It must be doubtful now.

The bloke I feel sorriest for is Rob Harvey. Oh well, maybe he will coach the next St Kilda premiership team with Reivoldt, Ball, Del Santo, Kosamnewmanski and the Clarkes still as the nucleus. But unless the medicos at st Kilda get the bum's rush soon, most of those blokes will be pushing it playing golf without a ride-on buggy in five years, let alone AFL footy.

Next weeks predictions

3. Socceroos bandwagon gets enormous
2. Socceroos draw 0-0 with Japan, lose 1-0 Brazil, draw 0-0 Croatia to miss out on qualification to the 2nd round on goal difference
1. Socceroos bagged for negative boring football by the media...

Let me go on the record now as saying that anything less than qualifying from the group stages will be treated as a failure by the fickle Aussie media. Personally, not coming bottom of the group is a good result. 3rd in group would mean we are better than a) The world champs b) one of the two best teams in Europe c) the best team in asia

Forgot one little word...

Biggest loser- Carlton. How did they lose that?

4 - Soccerooooooooooosssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

regards,

REB

2. Mattie McGuire. Only on Planet AFL could a bloke thump another bloke and it's the thumpee that has all the moral obligations and expectations afterwards. Great game.

1. Tim Cahill.

and I'll join chrisso on..

4 - Soccerooooooooooosssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biggest loser - 2006 AFL season. Can't wait for it to end.

Thanks Hawthorn for winning - you are my saving grace along with Adelaide so far this weekend!

3. The Johnny Warren-aroos! The greatest bandwagon that was ever created. Come on Aussie. Kick azzurri ass Tuesday morning....
2. Mighty Pies surprise even the believers after the Swans seemingly got on one of their rolls...
1. Dean Laidley. With the Bombers next week, he might find himself out of the headlines for a couple of weeks.

Honourable mention - Harry O'Brien and Simon Prestigiacomo - both outstanding and underrated backmen on Saturday night...

Pies for the Premiership!
