Winner: St Kilda

Probably the most inconsistent side in the competition so far, the Saints produced their good side against Melbourne at Etihad last Saturday, comfortably winning by 39 points.

You couldn't back them at this stage, because you don't know which St Kilda side is going to show up, the one who performed so badly against the Dogs and Giants or the one who took care of Collingwood and came so close to knocking off the Hawks.

At their best, they're a pretty dam good side, who is capable of sneaking into the eight, however they sit 2-4 where they should really be sitting close to 3-3.

Loser: Rodney Eade

Did the Suns make the right choice in appointing Rocket Eade as their coach? I'm not so sure. Following a decent opening three weeks, Gold Coast have lost three on the trot, culminating in a hiding at Kardinia Park to the Cats.

One hundred points losses are a rarity these days, so it was surprising to see just how poor the Suns were. You sometimes accept losing a game, but you cannot accept no effort which is what the Suns players dished up last weekend.

Is something more going on? Regardless of their mounting injury list, the players don't seem to be playing for the coach. Changes may be in order in the coming months.

  1. What was wrong with the football on friday night? I thought it was a fantastic much. Low scoring does not necessarily mean low quality.
