Round 21 Scores

by Lisa Albergo reporting for AFANA from Chicago

Geelong rested Joel Selwood (general soreness) this week. The Cats also lost Jimmy Bartel late in the week due to appendicitis. Bartel is expected to miss 1-2 weeks.

Collingwood was boosted by the return of Nathan Buckley for his first game of the season. He came through a VFL match last weekend with no problems and trained strongly all last week.

Leo Barry was a late withdrawal this week as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. Making his long-awaited return was Jared Crouch.

Carlton debuted 201 cm (6'6") ruckman Shaun Hampson this week.

AFL Weekly Preview Round 21 2007

by John Loffler

(Last week 3 from 8 total 97 from 160 = 61.2%)

The game of tipping is measured in points. An absolute hopeless effort last week with 3 correct and no doubt those that follow my previews religiously (are there any of you actually out there?) would have been cursing me apart from the Collingwood versus Melbourne game which I tipped against the Pies for psychological reasons. Really though,

AFL Weekly Review Round 20 2007

by Tim Murphy

At the MCG:

Collingwood  6.4   9.8   10.12   11.15.81 
Melbourne    3.5   3.9    8.12    9.16.70

An unconvincing win from the Poise should confirm their finals participation, Nathan Buckley's 25-touch, 4 goal return in the VFL was the other good news for Poise. This win wasn't the best though as the Poise clung on with 2 goals in the second half, the crucial one coming from Paul Medhurst, who finished their leading goal-kicker with 3. Unconvincing. The Deez had a second-half go in David Neitz's 300th game, the first man to play 300 for the Demons. But it were the Scragpies who started very well, three goals on the board before a Dee had touched the ball. Their much-maligned midfield, led by Scott Burns, Shane O'Bree and restored Scott Pendlebury, went very well. Sean Rusling played his first game of the season and bagged a goal too, Leon Davis was busy kickin' and creatin'.

AFL Weekly Preview Round 20 2007

by John Loffler

(Last week 6 from 8 total 94 from 152 = 61.8%)

My voice is a bit hoarse singing that ridiculous Richmond theme song in the shower all week so I doubt whether I will be so generous when determining the winner of this Friday night’s game. Neighbours think I’m involved in some wildlife group aimed at saving Sumatran or Siberian tigers. And the poem about Richo?
