We talk the big results we may not have seen coming from Round 5, applaud the footy festival in Melbourne this weekend just gone and talk about the big month of football at Henson Park coming up. And we review the Giants and Swans games and in the process we will do an overview of the 7 stages of grief, and levels of pain and degrees of devastation.

Finally, Lozz is off the bottom of the tipping comp, Kiwi is in 4th place and Fi and Lozz's mum are neck and neck!
Fi and Lozz celebrate the Swans' win over the Suns, putting them through to the semi finals next week. Lions beat Crows in a fierce battle and Bombers went down in a valiant fight against the Cats. But the big surprise of the first round of finals for Season 8 was the 41 point margin in North Melbourne Kangaroos' win over Melbourne Dees.
