Aussie Rules: The furore surrounding Essendon veteran Matthew Lloyd's hefty bump on Hawthon's Brad Sewell overshadowed what should have been the focus of the weekend - the formation of the top four.
The invective directed at Lloyd from Campbell Brown and Hawks coach Alistair Clarkson was out of line. Lloyd's bump was not malicious, but it was reckless, and deserves at least three weeks given the recent Buddy Franklin hearing.
His presence or lack thereof in this Friday's clash against Adelaide will make little difference though. The Bombers will be no match for the Crows.
The Bulldogs were scintillating against the Pies and the Cats will be anxious at having to meet the Dogs in what should be a ripper of a qualifying final on Sunday. I have doubts as to whether Geelong can rediscover the magic. I have more faith in St Kilda overcoming their recent bout of the wobblies and handing over them to the Pies.
