Written by Jack Lindley

Sadly the five day marathon of footy has drawn to a close. In a round which had more twists and turns than the latest GoT episode let’s recap the Anzac weekend through the opinionated scope of the Twittesphere!

Yet again, Round 6 of the AFL gave us plenty to Tweet about and it’s all here in another epic edition of Around the Tweets!
