Magpies Overcome Poor Swans
by Frank Ienco reporting for AFANA from Telstra Stadium
Collingwood have re-affirmed themselves as one of Victoria’s main hopes for the Premiership flag following their 13 point disposal of an insipid Sydney side in their now-annual split-round clash at Telstra Stadium. The Magpies overcame a shock last-start loss to lowly Melbourne to lead from start to finish, and were rarely threatened against a stumbling and fumbling home side. The Swans defeat leaves them precariously placed at 6-6 and the defending Grand Finalists are in serious danger of missing the finals for the first time since Paul Roos became coach in 2003.

Saints Over Eagles In Historic Upset
Scott Lockhart reporting for AFANA from Subiaco Oval, Perth.
St. Kilda has caused one of the upsets of the season after defeating West Coast by 23 points at Subiaco Oval on Sunday. In an epic contest of swinging fortunes it was a seven goal third term that gave the Saints the crucial edge in a tightly fought finish. In a match where their season was hinging, the Saints were lead strongly by 350 game celebrant Robert Harvey, who collected 30 possessions in his milestone, and a brilliant four goal first half performance from Justin Koschitzke. The loss is the Eagles fourth in six weeks and now leaves them sitting in third position on the ladder.

Hutchison and Marmalade are colleagues at Channel Nine Melbourne.
