I tried to complete a sports media degree but I found the classes to be too boring. Aussie Rules is the great game, but I'll gladly watch just about any sport.

A spell of pressure form both sides with very little clean football in the last few minutes. A goal to Fremantle before three quarter time would make it interesting.

Their defensive structure has certainly stood up tonight, but I’d wait for a couple of repeat performances before getting excited. Fremantle have been dominated in the midfield and have been under constant pressure trying to transition out of their defensive 50. Next week’s match against Carlton should be pretty interesting!

You’re spot on there Dan, Collingwood’s transitional defence has been much improved tonight.
Collingwood Magpies vs Fremantle Dockers: AFL highlights, live scores, blog
Collingwood absolutely dominated that quarter but failed to make the most of their opportunities. They are leading the inside 50 count 20-7 at this point. Will their profligacy come back to bite them later in the night?

Fremantle finally have a sustained period of attacking ball but can’t capitalise. Collingwood go up the other end but also fail to score. The siren sounds with the ball on centre wing mid Freo rebound.

Collingwood continue to dominate the territorial battle but they have not taken full advantage. Could easily be 6 goals up considering their midfield dominance thus far.
