There is plenty of ineptness around the league this year, but we can’t write about St Kilda’s lack of heart every week.
It’s time to celebrate the clubs at the pointy end. It’s not often we get a true top-of-the-table clash between the two clear best teams, and they are to be savoured.
With both the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne two games and percentage clear of third, sitting at 9-1 and locks for the top four, there is no doubt that this is a heavyweight bout. There is every chance these teams will meet again in September, and possibly on the last Saturday.

Melbourne champion Garry Lyon doesnât believe Ben Brownâs axing ahead of Saturdayâs meeting with the Crows was necessarily on the basis of form.
Brown has played three games and kicked five goals since his debut for the Demons in Round 7, but he has cleared the runway for rival key forward Sam Weideman to partner Tom McDonald.
âIâm only a little bit (surprised) because heâs been in for three weeks and did kick goals,â Lyon explained on
SEN Breakfast.
âNow theyâre going to give Weideman a chance to see if he can kick three or four goals.â
