Occasional Digest - a story for you

Welcome to our live coverage of Saturday AFL on ABC!

We may not have the usual quantity of games — thank you to Thursday AND Easter Monday footy for that — but there’s something in every item on today’s agenda.

The Kangaroos lost to GWS in round one but they showed enough to give hope to the fans. Now they have to face the Dockers in Melbourne, but with an even more under-strength defence. How will coach Alastair Clarkson respond?

Second up we have Hawthorn vs Melbourne at the MCG. The Hawks will be the underdogs, but the question will be which Demons turns up — the team solidly beaten by the Swans, or the group that swept aside the Bulldogs last week?

To finish things up, we will have a mouthwatering contest at the SCG, between the unbeaten Sydney and an Essendon side that always seems to lift against the Swans in recent years.

Stay with us, as we bring you all the action.
