@PhantomAFLO took a week off in silent protest of what is now ingloriously known as #ForfeitWeek in AFL Ontario. Round 5 was a bad week for footy in this province.
Thankfully we collectively rebounded with a good week of footy and if it wasnt for a council permit in Hamilton we would have had a full slate of games.
Here are the highlights and lowlights of Round 6:
Eagles 13.8.86 d Demons 8.12.60
Highlight: The Demons getting back on the park and almost sneaking out the W over the experienced Eagles. High Park came storming home to get within a couple of kicks, a 'wicked' response to there role in #ForfeitWeek.
Lowlight: No best players recorded for either team. Seriously...it's RIGHT NEXT TO THE GOAL KICKERS!!!!
Dingos 7.8.50 d Rebels 2.8.20
Highlight: A strong win in atrocious conditions for the Dingos and it was on the day of their 20th Anniversary Gala. Over 80 former and present players were in attendance including Stewy flying in all the way from Perth. Great day for the club.
Lowlight: After a heated exchange between the two benches an unknown lady, umbrella and dog in hand, runs 30 metres across the field to slap a Rebels staff member. Whatever was said we dont tolerate that sort of stuff on or off the field.
Kangaroos v Wildcats
Highlight: TBD
Lowlight: TBD
Hawks 10.15.75 d Blues 0.4.4
Highlight: Blues fullback gets to go home and tell his girlfriend that he had a great game and kept Shuttleworth to just 4 goals. Girlfriend logs on to
aflontario.com to see that it was James Shuttleworth not Nick and is immediately disappointed.
Lowlight: In two Grand Final replays the Blues have notched 0.4.4 and 0.4.4. Consistent at least.
Gargoyles 8.8.56 d Swans 7.5.47
Highlight: Real solid twitter banter between these two mobs in the lead up to the Canada Day Cup. Highlight tweet took some effort...a mock Ottawa Swans coffee mug.
Lowlight: Grand River must still be at Wellington Brewery not logging a score, goalkickers or best players on sportingpulse.
Be sure to keep an eye out for my #AFLOrd7 preview! Until then, keep practicing those handballs!
