AFL, page-579

I am not sure what is going to happen but you can't really draw conclusions after one game. Who would have picked Melbourne would get soundly beaten, Gold Coast performing so well against Saints and Hawthorn thrashing Adelaide in Adelaide. Also I think 50% of commentators picked North Melbourne and they lost by 80 points.

Strange round in my opinion and too early to tell. Fremantle certainly had North Melbourne bamboozled and played really well.
