AFL: A heated exchange between Lachie Neale and George Hewett had the Fox Footy crew wondering how the AFL will respond with suspension or fines possible.
'How about don't punch someone!' | 02:33Following months of pre-season chatter and banter back-and-forth, the Giants and Magpies will finally take to the field and let their football do the talking at ENGIE Stadium on Saturday.
Extra anticipation for this clash was ignited after Collingwood’s Mason Cox dubbed GWS’ home venue a “showground for livestock” last November, with Giants CEO Dave Matthews returning fire with a “D-grade comedy at best” quip to further fuel a growing rivalry.The only place to watch every game of AFL’s Opening Round is Fox Footy, available on Kayo.
Collingwood premiership stalwart Scott Pendlebury has overcome a knee concern to be named, joined by fringe players Ash Johnson and John Noble. Despite plenty of pre-season hype, Fin Macrae has not been named in Craig McRae’s 23. GWS will debut last year’s pick No.59 Harvey Thomas — a product of the Giants’ Academy who buzzed throughout the pre-season.
“Another success story from the GIANTS Academy, Harvey is an elite runner and showed he could play multiple roles this year, but we see him settling more ahead of the ball,” club recruiting boss Adrian Caruso said on the club’s website.Source: News Corp AustraliaWatch it live on Fox Footy .If you can’t see the blog,
