AFL Round-Up: Carlton lose a tight contest, Brisbane breaks their MCG hoodoo and Fremantle heartbroken in Adelaide again

ABC  

Round five produced the unexpected with an undefeated team losing to a winless side, a premiership contender silencing doubt around its history at the MCG, and several games keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Andrew Brayshaw looked to have sealed the four points for the Dockers when his final quarter goal extended Freo's lead to nine points with less than 10 minutes left on the clock. Matt Rowell and the Gold Coast Suns flexed their muscles against Jack Ginnivan's Hawthorn side on Saturday night Gold Coast has been blessed with an abundance of top picks over the last half decade and the kids are finally starting to take over as they become bona fide stars of the competition. Meanwhile, the Kangaroos remain winless and may be sweating on the fitness of last year's number two draft pick, Colby McKercher. While much of the talk surrounding anything Eagles this season has been centred around last year's number one pick Harley Reid, it was some of his more experienced teammates who spearheaded this win.
