‘It may well have lost them the game’: Leigh Matthews on Darcy Moore playing forward
Leigh Matthews says Nathan Buckley’s decision to play Darcy Moore forward for the majority of Collingwood’s game against West Coast “may well have lost them the game”.

Caro explains why Gold Coast thought they could approach Ken Hinkley
Caroline Wilson thinks Gold Coast’s approach to Ken Hinkley might work out better for him. Port Adelaide reacted angrily on Friday after Suns boss Mark Evans contacted their coach about his future.
