Essendon slip from the top eight, Port slip-up against the Roos, the Dogs slip out of contention and the Blues slip another game adrift on the bottom. It was a round of mistakes for some sides while others, like Geelong - seven wins on the trot – and Hawthorn - four in a row -continue to build towards September. It’s shaping as a thrilling climax to the season.
Geelong has extended its winning streak to seven with a comfortable victory over a disappointing Essendon at a packed Colonial Stadium. The young Cats showed too much pace and desire, broke away early and eventually won by 39 points in the face of an error-ridden display by the Bombers that leaves us out of the eight for the first time since mid-1998.
