AFL Results Round 12 & Uglybustards Spot Prize #3

Only six games on the weekend, and another small number of games coming up as more teams take their bye.  Its interesting to see how each team uses the spare week to freshen up.

More to come after the tape, including the Uglybustards Spot Prize #3.

Ridiculed by his peers for his outright cowardice on the field, in last Friday nights game against Carlton he took a massive step forward. Right on to Eddie Betts's arm.
