Bont Has Risen: Round 6 Review

·1 hr 13 min·5 clips

Three Alexes reunite to dissect a massive Easter footy weekend and the looming Anzac Day clash.

The A3 Footy Podcast, hosted by three Alexes (Catalano, Miller, Docherty), provides a round review and preview for the AFL. The episode opens with the hosts reuniting and highlighting the quick turnaround from Easter to Anzac Day football. They begin their analysis with the Thursday night game, where Collingwood's comprehensive 52-point victory over Brisbane is dissected. Key points include the performance of Nick Daicos (38 touches), the emergence of mid-season draftee Ned Long, and the enduring form of veterans Scott Pendlebury and Steele Sidebottom. The conversation shifts to Richmond's surprising win over Gold Coast on Saturday night. The hosts praise the Tigers' young players, particularly Seth Campbell's breakout game and the defensive effort led by Nick Vlastuin and the returning Noah Balta, who played despite off-field issues. The Bulldogs' Easter Sunday win over St Kilda is analyzed next, with Marcus Bontempelli's return from injury hailed as a dominant 'resurrection.' The hosts also note the contributions of young Bulldogs like Ryley Sanders and Joel Freijah. The middle segment includes 'Who's the Man?' where each host highlights a standout performer: Shaun Mannagh (Geelong), George Wardlaw (North Melbourne), and Trent Rivers (Melbourne). This is followed by a rapid-fire Q&A on topics like Fremantle's top-four credentials and Sydney's poor form. The 'Bringing the Heat' segment sees each host critique a target: James Sicily's poor form for Hawthorn, North Melbourne's dismal performance, and the umpires' inconsistent application of the advantage rule. The episode concludes with SuperCoach discussion, where each host shares their team's performance and trade plans, and tipping predictions for Round 7, including the marquee Anzac Day clash between Collingwood and Essendon.
