The six things we learned from Round 6 By Contenders have established themselves and early season form is beginning to materialise.

The Demons’ 34-point victory over the competition’s bench mark in Richmond should fill the playing group with confidence that they can make a deep September run this year. Melbourne remain unbeaten after six rounds at 6-0 and face North Melbourne, Sydney, Carlton and Adelaide in their next month of football. A 10-0 start is well within the realms of possibility and a top four spot beckons for Simon Goodwin’s side.
