Another great weekend of footy! Richmond and Carlton both won, and we both won our own footy matches. So we are both still undefeated. 

Jack Riewoldt kicked a career high 11 goals, so he is leading the Coleman ! 

Carlton just won against Adelaide. There was only 6 points between them at the final siren. 
Collingwood beat West Coast by 8 points but I personally think West Coast played better than Collingwood, they were ahead for most of the first three quarters, then Collingwood sneaked a couple of goals in the last quarter. 
Meanwhile, Port Adelaide beat the reigning Premiers Hawthorn by 13 points. Port Adelaide deserved to win as they played a lot better.
Geelong beat North by 20 points. North made a bit of a comeback but Geelong deserved to win. 
Gold Coast had another win against the Bulldogs. Gary Ablett had a scare with a possible report, but we just heard he is in the clear. Adam Cooney did get reported for a high hit on Ablett. 

Swimming races are on this Friday so will report on this next week. 

At school we are having a rugby clinic (league). We had a lady from Melbourne Storm come in and teach us some skills. It was great fun. It was pretty funny too. It goes over 3 weeks. Some things are similar to AFL and some things are quite different. 

Thanks and have a great sporty week!

Sorry we haven't blogged for a while. During LB's footy year they have been undefeated - with a 5 - 0 success rate. We are really happy about that as last year we only won 3 games the whole season. Today LB's team won by 15 points against a strong team. The first quarter they were ahead and with the wind. We fought back well in the second and third quarters. The final quarter was close but we kicked a couple of extra goals.
BB had a footy match today also. He kicked 3 goals. His team also won, so they have won 5-0 as well. The team they played today was a bit rough, with one of the opposition players being sent off, but our boys didn't react, and still won fair and square.
Now to the big league.....our number one team Carlton played well last week against St Kilda but have a bye this round. They are 13th on the ladder which is better than 16th where they were the week before. Richmond however is going down the ladder...what's going on there? (Poor Mum).
Gold Coast just beat St Kilda by 38 points so GC are now fifth on the ladder!
Our school Cross Country Districts are tomorrow. LB and BB both got in to the school team. We are looking forward to racing tomorrow. LB is running 2km, and BB is running 3km. I hope we do well! We will report our results sometime soon!
