What a start this has been to the Hume Football Netball League. Major upsets have happened, and the league is looking very close. Down at the Henty Showgrounds, Henty Swampies started very strongly and got a one-point win over the Osborne Tigers, and then a week later, Jindera beat Osborne in a thrilling night match. Brock-Burrum have started well with a draw with Henty, an encouraging win over Holbrook, and then a magnificent win over Howlong by 57 points. Jindera have looked to be great contenders, although going down to Howlong by 13 points in round 2. Rand-Walbundrie-Walla Walla Giants have started well with 2 fantastic wins and narrowly losing to Lockhart by 2 points.

AFL Round-Up
To the AFL, the Sydney Swans are leading the way with 6 straight wins. Brisbane Lions have had their ups and downs with wins over Adelaide and Collingwood and a loss to Melbourne. Hawthorn and Fremantle are 2 strong teams that are proving their points early in the season. North Melbourne is flying high with some great wins and showing the team that they're serious. Carlton has had some really good games, but hasn't been able to get the results after having some big leads, which is something that they will need to focus on.
