Kieran Jack steps like his dad, only to thrown onto the ground and it’s ball. Swans player kicks the ball away and Saints get a 50m free kick. The free kick hits a swan and the Saints defense have more work to do. They compromise with the Sydney press for a throw in.

Melbourne Victory don’t have the TV ratings but have higher attendances and social media presence than teams above them – I think it’s a bit unfair to rate GWS and the Raiders above them simply based on TV audience.
When Melbourne Victory win a game on a Friday or Saturday night, Melbourne knows about it. When GWS win lonely punters lose in Wilcania lose their multi bets.

Full Time, Collingwood by 33 Points!
The Dees played the game like Swans of the mid 2000’s. The Collingwood midfield weren’t allowed the room they’re used to, however they had the experience to make the right decisions. Collingwood look happy, but Demons can be proud, not many teams would hold the Pies to 60 points.

Collingwood: 8. 13. 61

The Commentars flaunt their vocabulary –
(Man with a blue and red mohawk) -“He’s not your atypical Melbourne supporter”. Well, I’ve met a few Dees fans and none of them had a similar haircut. Maybe my evidence is anecdotal, or they meant typical. Either way Beams has given the Dees defense the rrun around but Kennedy Harris cleans up for the Demons.
