Man Bites Dog In The AFL. #34

AFL Protected Zone

We've waited a long time for this, but we finally have a Man Bites Dog story for the AFL: An Essendon player bit a Western Bulldogs player. An act of love, frustration or just plain old hunger on the field? We explore. We review another excellent Round 3, and look at all the big issues of the day: Deliberate out of bounds; umpire reviews; and how do players miss a goal from the goal square? It's unacceptable at the professional AFL level, so why do they do it? What's happening at St Kilda? And Essendon? We also preview the big matches from Round 4, and provide our Song Of The Week: Marianne Faithfull with Why D'ya Do It?
