Just when we thought we had a handle on the AFL season, all hell breaks loose. Adelaide have suddenly roared back to life with an upset no one saw coming, and the Brisbane Lions have made a big statement with their impressive MCG victory over Melbourne. As for St Kilda and Fremantle, well they lost no friends in their heartstopping losses, but one gets the feeling Western Bulldogs coach might be losing a couple after another round of selection chaos and another very disappointing defeat.
The Crows have been talking about more midfield minutes for Rankine, the question is, however, why did it take so long to pull the trigger? The Bad Jack plays to a different set of rules Yes, Jack Ginnivan ducks and plays for free kicks sometimes, but that doesn’t mean he should NEVER get a decision his way. After the Easter Monday fiasco where the AFL came out and admitted a string of incidents against Ginnivan were wrong, you’d think he’d catch a break.
