So far 6 games in, all the 'underdogs' - the teams ranked lower on the ladder - have caused upsets:
Carlton 9 d Coll 1
Adelaide 13 d Port 2
Gold Coast 14 d Bris 3
GWS 7 d Footscray 5
Freo 15 d Geelong 8
Syd 12 d Essendon** 11
Should all the 'home' sides win today it will be truly breath-taking historically with every game won by the underdog.
As per post elsewhere, the top 3 all losing last happened in Rd.7 2017 and before that Rd. 15 1999
In fact in 2017 All Top Four teams lost which can be repeated today by Richmond beating Melbourne.
If the hapless Hawks can get up over the Aints then every team in the 8 will have lost except the unavoidable winner of GWS v Foots.
So, can it happen?
You betcha!
Tiges have won 4 of last 5, Dees only 3
Aints travelling very poorly with only 2 wins from 5 and unconvincing at that - 8 pts over each of WC, NM
Really Aints?
The last match, bottom-of-the-ladder battle WC v NM...
are the Eagles due at long last?
But really - who gives a Flying Foxtrot!
