🇦🇺 AFL

De Goey fires Pies to first win of the season: Jordan De Goey boots four goals to resign Blues to yet another 0-2 start. (match report).

The 16.10 (106) to 13.7 (85) win, which simultaneously resigned its arch rivals to an 0-2 start, was defined by De Goey's efforts as the mid-forward became a pure forward to haunt a Blues side that now has its finals hopes hanging by a thread.

Last night was the 20th time in 30 games under David Teague that Carlton has conceded a 30-point run within a match. (@RileyBev)

💰 Sydney Stack has been hit with a $6000 fine for his WA COVID breach in December (AFL)

'What did I just watch!?': Fans lose it over Viliame Kikau's stunning grand final revenge play to down Storm.

Fan favourite Viliame Kikau put on perhaps one of the most memorable try-savers in recent memory.

With the Panthers leading 12-10, the final whistle gone, the Storm scrambled to keep the ball alive in a threatening last-ditch play.

Kikau had been taken out of the sequence in a run by Tui Kamikamica, while Nicho Hynes probed the Panthers' line for an in.

Shifting the ball to the left flank, Olam looked to have barreled his way over to sensationally steal the match back for the Storm.

But upon review, Kikau, had prevented Olam's grounding in what will surely go down in Penrith folklore.

🤔 Storm star Cameron Munster could be in hot water after he appeared to do a hip drop in a tackle that injured Panthers prop Spencer Leniu’s knee. (Fox)
