Recap
Three teams moved to a valuable 2-0 record while three other sides now find themselves winless in this now-shortened season.
Rapaic's Rampage topped all scorers with 1680, which included a bold captaincy of Josh Dunkley (108) that well and truly paid off.
Despite sitting last in total points, Vince U Been Gawn somehow managed to scrape a win thanks to a lucky fixture, dropping Gabe's Team to 0-2 alongside Grab 'em by the Preussy and Sico Mode.
Tyson Manthorpe's Gawn but not Forgotten currently hold top spot on the ladder after two strong wins in the first two weeks, but it's Mitch's Masterclass who have surprised everyone early, leading the league in total points as well as boasting a 2-0 record.
The always-consistent Two in the Lipinski are the third and final unbeaten side, however after next week there will only be a maximum of two, with Gawn but not Forgotten and Mitch's Masterclass going head to head in an enticing matchup.
Top Score: Todd Goldstein, 127 (0/12 teams)
North Melbourne’s Todd Goldstein led all scorers in Round 2 with a whopping 127 against the Giants on Sunday.
The ruckman was dominant against GWS’ new recruit Sam Jacobs, but unfortunately for coaches in The Rani, no lineup featured the Roos’ big-man.
Flop Score: Brodie Smith, 45 (8/12 teams)
With Brodie Smith's midfield time seeing an increase in 2020, many expected big things from the 28-year-old, but so far this season Smith has not come close to those pre-season expectations.
After scoring just 35 in Round 1, Smith scraped to 45 in his side’s blowout loss to Port Adelaide, with those big believers now counting down the minutes until lockdown is lifted.
Breakout Star: Matthew Rowell, 108 (12/12 teams)
In just his second game, Gold Coast's number 1 draft pick Matthew Rowell showed the league what he can produce with a stellar score of 108.
Rowell, who had 26 touches and two goals, led the Suns to one of their greatest upset victories with a 45-point win over the Eagles; Rowell's low breakeven of 5 also saw the “Red Bull” rocket $65K in value.
