What a cracking Anzac Round we witnessed, highlighted by an "even-up ballgame" on Thursday. Elsewhere, "defensive harmony" took center stage for the Demons, while a lack thereof hindered other expected contenders. Ethan bitches about one club and gets bored with another, and Benjamin reiterates his concerns about multiple club's ball movement trends.

Nine games over five days is a beautiful thing, even if it puts us on a tighter schedule! We play Wednesday Mad Libs for the first time and see how we ranked our interest in each of the Anzac Appeal Round fixtures.

Up the Burgers in multiple ways! Benjamin and Ethan both have lots to celebrate, thanks to their AFL and VFL clubs of choice all winning. More ticks for the Bulldogs (whether or not it's because of their coach) and the depleted Blues, but the crosses and question marks pile up for Dimma and Longmuir.

We wouldn't call this preview irreverent, but it's definitely on the less serious side at times. In this episode, a whole lost of list speculation intersects with a host of cultural observations and takes spanning both sides of the Pacific Ocean.

Round 5 was a round of surprises — but which was the biggest? Conventional wisdom would suggest 0–4 beating 4–0 out of state, but Ethan begs to differ. (And amazingly, the spooners getting off the mark was not considered by either brother.)
