Halfway home, folks
Front and Square

We are now 12 rounds into the season and every club with the exception of Gold Coast has played 11 games and is half way through its allotted 22 games. Highlights and lowlights for your club? Read on.

RICHMOND:

Started slowly and then found a winning vein of form, highlighted by the Dreamtime at the 'G win over Essendon in front of 83,000 fans. The roar is starting to return.

Highlight: Richmond is assembling an A-grade midfield and the outrageously-talented Dustin Martin might not only be the best of the lot, but among the elite of the AFL within a year.

Lowlight: The merits of selling a home game to Darwin's TIO Stadium (which the Tigers then lost) will continue to be debated for the rest of the season if the team just misses the finals.

Highlight - Dreamtime at the 'G. Nothing better than adding to the Bombers' misery.
Lowlight - Our defensive injury nightmare. Losses to Hawthorn and Port Adelaide also rank up there.

Highlight: Second half against Freo
              Beating Essendon
Lowlight: Port game. Any YouTube footage should be accompanied by John Lennon's "Slippin' and Slidin'
             Watching the umpires absolutely crucify us in Sydney last week.

             We need a win real bad!

Highlights: Freo and Essendon wins.
                 Improvement in our overall disposal.
                 Conca's first year so far. For a debutant he's shown a lot to be impressed with.

Lowlights:  Hawthorn, Dogs and Port losses.
                 Seeing Collingwood and Carlton near the top of the ladder :chuck.
