The Roar from

Few expected the Swans to be challenging for finals this season, after finishing 16th in 2020. Yet after seven rounds, they sit fourth on the ladder, having beaten three of last year’s preliminary finalists.
Tom Papley was the hero in last week’s thrilling two-point win over Geelong, kicking the winning goal in the dying minutes as the Swans claimed an unlikely victory. The MCG holds no fears for John Longmire’s youthful team, having stunned reigning premiers Richmond at the home of football in Round 3.

North Melbourne
Collingwood Magpies and coach Nathan Buckley as they prepare to battle the last-placed
North Melbourne Kangaroos. We’ll have all the
live scores from Marvel Stadium right here on
The Roar from
4:35pm (AEST).
These are dark times indeed for the Magpies. They have managed just one win from the first seven rounds of the 2021 season to languish in 17th on the ladder.
Much of the fallout has been aimed at embattled coach Nathan Buckley, as the club great fights for his future at the helm. However, many key players are beginning to be questioned as well, with the out-of-form Jordan de Goey reportedly given a dressing-down by senior teammates following last week’s loss to Gold Coast.
