The fringe contender who is a red-hot chance to win the flag
By
Is Brisbane quickly entering the premiership calculations?
Gerard Healy has been impressed with their recent form, despite the absence of star midfielder Lachie Neale.
Healy, Jordan Lewis and Anthony Hudson discussed the current contenders on
AFL Nation.
Lewis: “I would say Geelong, Western Bulldogs, Melbourne, Port Adelaide…”
Hudson: “Brisbane?”
Healy: “The West Coast if they get their best side is a contender. I would have the top eight minus Sydney, I don’t see them winning the flag.”
Lewis: “I think Brisbane is a rung below those teams.”

Which player should your club tie down to a long-term contract?
Let’s just pretend your club has the salary cap space and there is no consequence to offering a multi-year mega deal.
We have taken length of current contract into account when making these assessments.
See who we think your club should hand a lengthy contract to below.
Tom Doedee
There are no clear standout candidates at the Crows so Tom Doedee gets the nod.
The intercept defender position has become increasingly important in recent times and Doedee is building his craft nicely in the role.

A new weekend of footy ahead and there are nine intriguing matches for us to assess.
There are a few genuine 50-50s in Round 7 and a couple of danger games for some clubs in desperate need of a victory.
Who will win and why?
Let s find out below:
Western Bulldogs v Richmond
Friday night - MCG
It’s a battle of contrasting styles when the table-topping Western Bulldogs take on reigning premiers Richmond in a tantalising Friday night clash.
The Bulldogs under coach Luke Beveridge play a high possession game that is underpinned by handball chains and direct ball use – the Dogs are ranked No.1 in the competition for handballs, disposals and clearances.
Adelaide
Stocks up: Key backman
Tom Doedee continues to have a solid start to 2021, and is one of a few Crows who can hold their heads high after their loss to Freo at home on Sunday. Doedee is calm with ball in hand, desperate without (his smothering work has been sublime) and is surely firming as the Crows next skipper.
Stocks down: From glorious highs one week, back down to earth the next,
Shane McAdam had a day to forget. He kicked one goal and had just four touches on the day from 75 percent game time. We re going to need to see much more for his stocks to rise.
