And they're starting to build as we head towards September.

The Ds left the MCG and played really good footy, gave themselves a chance, but Joshua Shelley, Jordan Dawson, Isaac Rankin, and Big Mark Keane were too much as we see the Crows head towards the top four.

I tell you what, I don't know about the Giants and I don't think anyone does, including their coach.

But what I do know is the most unlikely of wildcard runs are happening before our eyes.

Five straight for the Blue Baggers under Josh Fraser with two winnable games to come.

Not only is it about Fraser actually holding on to the job full time, they are now September Dreaming.

The power rolled into the MCG and had a real dip.

But in the end, they just ran out of players as Dacos had 40 again.

Jordan Dugowie was brilliant and a win they needed for the black and white army.

All thanks to Osito on a beautiful Melbourne morning.

This is Sunday Crunch Time.

And a very warm welcome to you from the MCG, wherever you might be, right across the SEN radio network, via the SEN app, somewhere right across the world.

It is a very nice morning as we gear up for the first of the games today.

The Tigers and the Roos to go at it in around two hours' time.

Liam Pickering about an hour away.

Judson Clark, who spent way too much time on the sideline, which has become...

unfortunately somewhat indicative of these young guns at the Tigers.

He will join us in the Crunch Time Box, as will Mon Conte, who this morning was named as one of the first players in the historic and eagerly anticipated AFLW Australia v Ireland game later in the year.

But as always, this man's ready to go.

Josh Jenkins in the house.
