WITH apologies to Ken Hinkley it was just a little bit hard to overlook James Hird as coach for our Round 3 Team of the Week.

If some of Hird's harshest critics had their was he would be incarcerated rather than organising a meritorious victory over Fremantle in Perth.

So to deal with the pressure aside of an on-going investigation elevates Hird to coach, despite Hinkley revitalising Port Adelaide.

On the field there are a couple of new names in defenders Jake Carlisle and Jacob Brennan although you can expect to see plenty of them in the future.

The Richmond on-ball duo of Brett Deledio and Dustin Martin could easily have been joined by teammate Trent Cotchin in the best 18, while Carlton's Andrew Walker was unlucky to miss a defensive role.

Round 3 Team of the Week

B: Josh Gibson (Hawthorn): So cool when it matters.

Jake Carlisle (Essendon): The 2009 pick 24 looks one out of the box.

Jacob Brennan (West Coast): The son of Michael is going to be a player.

HB: Grant Bitchall (Hawthorn): Has become someone you can almost pen in to this team.

Harry Taylor (Geelong): Is there a better contested mark in the AFL?

Luke Hodge (Hawthorn, captain): His supposed demise was clearly right off the money.

C: David Armitage (St Kilda): So important for the Saints that he and Steven regain top form.

Travis Boak (Port Adelaide): We are starting to see what all the fuss was about.

Matthew Stokes (Geelong): From a substitute in Rd 2 to BOG a week later.

HF: Nathan Fyfe (Fremantle): A shining light in a side that lacks X factor.

Jonathan Brown (Brisbane): Back to his best after a slow start to 2013.

Dustin Martin (Richmond): Still trying to work out how he went at Pick 3 in 2009.

F: Travis Cloke (Collingwood): Looks a different player without the contract hassles.

Buddy Franklin (Hawthorn): After an indifferent Rd 1 the Buddy show is back in town.

Daniel Hannebery (Sydney): Sure he didn't play in a forward pocket but he has to be in somewhere

R: Dean Cox (West Coast): Cemented his position as the best ruckman in the game.

Jarrad McVeigh (Sydney): Just a near perfect start to the season.

Chris Judd (Carlton): Did everything to get the Blues up.

INT:  Trent Cotchin (Richmond): Just another sublime exhibition from the young master.

Callan Ward (GWS): A really honest hard-nut who has been a perfect pick-up.

Brett Deledio (Richmond): A remarkably consistent player who is kicking stunning goals.

Substitute: Farren Ray (St Kilda): Shouldn't be wearing a vest next week.

Coach: James Hird (Essendon): Had a few things on his mind before helping to conquer the west.
