As well documented on Twitter, the
Blues did a
Bradbury last week thanks to
Hirdy & co, then almost threw it away in a thrilling weekend of footy where the permutations experts were going haywire.

There was
Ross Lyon keeping half his team in cotton wool and expecting the
Cats to easily put
Brisbane away. He was almost made to look silly by forfeiting a home final when the
Lions scared the bejeezus out of both the
Cats and
Blues supporters. The
Lions should've taken the points to temporarily nab 8th spot but for
Ryan Lester's shot being touched on the line. At this same point in time the
Power had jumped the
blues booting the 1st 3 goals and looked well and truly home and hosed by midway in the 3rd quarter, leading by 39 points. While the unlucky
Lions wouldve been feeling sick and sorry for themselves, this paved the way for the
Crows who were taking on a decimated
Ducks team at Subi, meaning they only had to win by a few goals to bridge the % gap
Carlton had on them. And
Norf were waiting in the wings on Sunday, needing a win over
Collingwood which they duly delivered in a game where both teams wore teflon the tackle count was so low. But somehow the
Blues came back as
Port ran out of puff, and yet still the
Blues were incredibly lucky
Broadbent's shot hit the post with seconds remaining.
Norf, the
Crows, the
Lions and
Carlton all showed they would've put up a better show than a emotionally shot and dispirited
Essendon in the finals. It was just a matter of which one.
Let's take a look at the
AFL's top ten moments of the weekend, featuring the boundary umpie from 1979 who assisted
Eddie Betts with a goal of the year nomination, and
Jeremy Howe's usual array of screamers. One day he's gonna jump clean outa the stadium.
