St Kilda have slumped to a 10th defeat from 11 starts, thumped by Melbourne at Marvel Stadium. Inaccurate Essendon have snapped a five-game losing streak, downing Richmond in an error-riddled slog at the MCG.

Didn't cover anywhere near as many thrillers as previous seasons (not surprising given the gap between the top-10 and bottom 8). But here's a couple of early leads that were written, but never published:

"The insinuation here is that some players may not be doing all they can to return to play ... I'd expect the playing group would strongly disagree with this." ACA boss Paul Marsh has expressed his confusion at Johan Botha's comments https://t.co/uOSGyN68j1

Thanks @Bengaruccio for opening up on what ex-Western United players have been through, how they’re still affected as a new season begins, the unity they’ve kept while being scattered around the country - and ensuring this doesn’t happen again. https://t.co/ezrzsbDs8d

Two months after Western United captain Ben Garuccio and his teammates had their world turned upside down, they...

Zach Merrett first met Sam Mitchell on September 9, but Hawthorn's first offical offer goes to Essendon 30 hours before the deadline, 8 days into the trade period. The Hawks were like the student procrastinator leaving it late to do their most important assignment
"I was disappointed in the way that was presented... It was an unusual way to go about things." Essendon CEO Craig Vozzo on the Hawks setting a deadline on an offer for Zach Merrett the club's call to retain him. Watch The Deadline Debrief LIVE: https://t.co/1QRXBNeDNa

Forcing a couple of loyal players out so you can trade in an enigmatic star Carlton forward - is it 2009?

In current traffic: Moe to Casey Fields 1h 14m CBD to Casey Fields 56m Who says Casey isn't an attractive proposition?
Bailey Humphrey is either a big Charlie Cameron fan or… His Instagram post last night came with the caption ‘I’M FROM MOE’ and John Denver’s music track ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’. GC steadfast on not trading the young star but Humphrey pushing a return to Vic. @traderadio

The AFL's move after this happened is still one of the most outrageous overeaches by an administration in Australian sporting history

In just his second Shield match, 19-year-old Oliver Peake steers Victoria home with an unbeaten 70 against reigning champs South Australia. He's definitely to watch in the next couple of years

No one gave himself more to the team than Oscar McInerney. Surely there’s a Brisbane Lions award with his name on it to remember his outstanding legacy to this era of success
