FREMANTLE and Sydney played in this season’s first draw on Saturday night at the SCG despite the Dockers trailing by 27 points midway through the final term.

Fremantle had plenty of opportunities early in the game to hurt the Swans on the scoreboard but inaccurate kicking in front of goal cost the harbor side dearly

IN a game that even their most loyal followers thought would be beyond them, the Collingwood Football Club demonstrated a toughness and resilience that has silenced the chorus of naysayers.

In front of an MCG crowd of 66,768 the Magpies handed Geelong their first defeat of season and in doing so re-invigorated their 2013 campaign

IN a massive upset, the Brisbane Lions headed to Melbourne, expected by many, except their most ardent fans, to lose but instead they upset the number two placed side and came away with the points.

Simon Black started the match in his second game of the year after being the Sub last week against West Coast. He found plenty of the ball with 12 first term touches and all of them were silky and effective.

WITH only seconds to spare, Nic Naitanui became the showstopper last night, as a thrilling after the siren goal stole the show from North Melbourne.

The win saved the Eagles from another gut-wrenching home ground loss after chalking up a poor 3-2 record this year.

Déjà vu came rushing back for Eagles fans, as the heroics of Leo Barry’s 2005 grand final-saving mark were quickly reversed – this time at the opposite end

GEELONG won a thriller against Collingwood on Friday night by three-points to assume the mantle once more. But the Magpies are hoping it is the loss they need to have. The Cats were exceptional and Tom Harley described it well on Channel Seven’s broadcast when he said that the Cats “out Collingwood Collingwood” . They

Geelong ($3.00) and Collingwood ($1.41) clash on Friday night to determine top spot. It’s still early in the season but both clubs will be keen to see where the other is at, with an eye to the finals. Some injury concerns at Collingwood possibly have them under-priced, whereas the Cats look to be vastly improved

PUNTERS have surged on Collingwood to beat Geelong in Friday night’s blockbuster at the MCG between the only two unbeaten teams in 2011. IASbet.com has the Pies in at $1.41 to defeat the Cats, who are at $3.00. It is a dead rubber concerning Melbourne and North Melbourne on Saturday according to the sports betting

Matt MacGuire was staring down the end of his AFL career seven months ago after his former club St Kilda delisted him, stranded on 99 games. The ‘Goose’ had been one of the most important players in the Saints line up for many years, and had it not been for a horrible run of injuries,

One of the most talked about players in 2010 would have to be Michael Barlow. The Fremantle recruit was one of many players picked up under the new mature age recruit system introduced by the AFL, and has shown that the hill has many years to climb after 24 years of age. In particular he

NORTH Melbourne has shown that it is a genuine chance to make the finals after a nine-point win over Adelaide at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night. Many pundits tipped the Kangaroos to be in the bottom five but are now at 4-4 and are ready to pounce. Perhaps the Kangaroos should have won by more

IT’S amazing what a trade can do over the pre-season.
