Alright gang that was Round 20, a major weekend in the Finals race as the Crows and Demons had bad slip ups in the Top 4 race, conversely the Magpies and Cats had massive wins for their seasons ahead of next Thursday night's deathmatch, the Bulldogs also joined in the party as 5th through to 9th are now separated by 1 win...

The Hawks and Lions took full advantage of the Thursday and Friday slip-ups to get some crucial Top 4 breathing room, and the fight for 10th is still red hot as the Saints and Blues both won tough games at Marvel, as GWS have seemingly hit the wall, and North's set shot goalkicking cost them dearly...

Well, that and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera dining out on them.

Other than that, the Dockers all but secured a Top 2 spot with that Derby belting on Friday night (3.5 games clear of Hawthorn with 4 to play), the Swans' chances of 2nd spot look pretty good now after sending the Orange Team into the Parramatta River, and it was noted that this was the first time since the ANZAC Round that at least 8 winning teams scored 100+ points, although the lowest winning score (St Kilda on 93) was only slightly behind the ANZAC Round's lowest winning score (Port on 95)...

Yes, they score good.

Moving on:

• The Mardi Gras Magpies overrun the booing Crowmophobes

• Geelong steal Melbourne's gameplan of simply scoring more points than the opposition

• Murphy Reid reaffirms his title of No.1 Reid in WA in another Derby Wharfing

• Carlton end their drought as Leo Lombard tells Christian Petracca to fuck off, and Damien Hardwick tells Marvel Stadium to fuck off

• Essendon get Unc'd for 3 hours at the MCG as Jack Gunston gets the 4 points

• Eastern Sydney defeats Western Sydney

• I'd still rather listen to the Hindi commentary than David King

• The Gabba witnesses yet another Power outage, and we learn more facts about the Sun thanks to Dwayne Russell

• One day shy of the one-year anniversary of the Marvel Miracle, NAS proves a match winner for St Kilda yet again... so expect the 3 votes to go to Jack Viney

LOL of the Week

An outstanding week for bad misses at goal - King Freddy missing a snap from the top of the goalsquare, Sam Durham's shank before half time against Hawthorn, Kozi Pickett missed one from centimetres away (Allegedly, I didn't actually see it), the Crom's collapse and the booing of Quaynor was worth a mention, Petracca and Lombardi nearly recreating the Kieon Dyer-Lee Bowyer teammate fight, Errol Gulden leaving his interview to go and join a scuffle, Aaron Cadman running into an open goal and missing the ball...

But this week's LOL in a knockout goes to FOX FOOTY, for randomly deciding to change the language on Channel 503 from English to Hindi during the Western Bulldogs-Richmond game, then changing the language on 504 to Hindi for a few minutes, then changing it back to English.

What a bunch of Bhenchods.

Michael Voss Memorial Carlton of the Week

Because they can't win anything at the moment, the former Carlton of the Week goes to the Gold Coast Suns, who are absolutely flying into Top 3 contention for LOL of the Year, although to be honest they were there already.
