Hopefully some of these lower ranked sides play each other in round 3, Geelong has only scored 3 majors so far, Richmond and WCE 4 each, Gold Coast have managed 5 and GWS 6.
So there was a bit of re-jigging due the COVID issues.
Geelong played the Dogs and only managed 1 goal, the Dogs kicked 3.
Gold Coast only managed 1 in their loss to GWS who scored 2.8 in torrential rain.
Adelaide kicked 1.7 in their lowest total ever against Freo who scored 7.1.
Saints 2.4 lost to Carlton 6.4.
Lions defeated WCE 10.5 to 2.8.
Collingwood defeated Richmond 7.6 to 4.7.
Melbourne remain undefeated with 9.6 to 8.3 win over the Kangaroos.

Gold Coast who are arguably the least talented side have the huge task of playing probably the best side in the comp (Freo) in WA, their 4th game on the trot on the road, it could get very ugly.
Saints play Geelong in a push for the top 6. similar circumstance for the Blues as they take on an improving Richmond, I think the Tiges might sneak one here.
Roos will bounce back against Collingwood in what should produce some decent scores.
Lions take on Adelaide, the Crows will be keen to make amends but the Lions at home will be a bit more polished.
The Dogs face Melbourne in a tough encounter for the home side, the Dees by plenty.
GWS host WCE as their draw is starting to get easier after a tough opening two rounds.
