Live: Roos meet Lions at Gather Round, Bombers search for first win

Dayne Zorko gives away a free kick, allowing Paul Curtis a set-shot, which he slots.

That’s four straight goals for the Kangaroos after the Lions had dominated the early exchanges.

The Kangaroos have leapt into the lead after following up Cooper Trembath’s opening goal with another two majors.

First it was Jack Darling, then it was Zac Banch’s turn, helping put the Kangaroos in front by five points.

Cooper Trembath shows cool nerves to slot a set-shot goal for the Kangaroos after taking a brilliant pack mark.

It’s the Kangaroos’ first major of the afternoon.

Keidean Coleman adds a second goal to the Lions’ tally.

The Kangaroos made a poor clearance from inside their defensive 50, with Coleman on hand to mark the ball.

He had a regulation shot on goal, which he nailed with ease.

The weather isn’t being friendly to either side, with rain and wind making playing conditions difficult.

Only one goal so far from the Lions, who are leading the inside-50s count, 6-2.

We weren’t even 90 seconds into the match when the Lions kicked the opening goal.

Oscar Allen was awarded a free kick close to the sticks and he made no mistake with the set-shot.

The scenery at Barossa Park is breathtaking but today’s weather is anything but!

Here we go with the first match of the day — Kangaroos or Lions, who wins?

The Bombers-Demons clash starts 40 minutes after today’s opening match so let’s take a look at the team changes.

Brad Scott has dropped Saad El-Hawli, Zak Johnson, Archie Perkins and Matt Guelfi as he looks to find a winning formula for the 0-4 Bombers.

Sullivan Robey will make his debut and he’s joined by Elijah Tsatas, Nate Caddy and Jordan Ridley as the fresh faces to take on the Demons.

The Demons have two straight wins under their belt to sit in seventh place.

Bayley Fritsch returns for the Dees, while Bailey Laurie is left out.

Lance Collard became the first AFL player to contest a charge of conduct unbecoming this week when he was found guilty by a tribunal of using a homophobic slur against an opponent during a VFL match.

The Kangaroos are chasing a third straight win as they look to consolidate a spot inside the top six.

Coming off the inspiring comeback victory over the Blues, Alastair Clarkson made two changes to his line-up.

Griffin Logue has been named to play his 100th match and Charlie Spargo will make his Kangaroos debut.

Toby Pink was omitted and Finn O’Sullivan is sidelined with a fractured jaw.

The Lions have some big ‘ins’, with two of their co-captains, Harris Andrews and Hugh McCluggage, returning.

Andrews is available for the defending premiers after serving a suspension, while McCluggage has recovered from a calf strain.

Darragh Joyce and James Tunstill were the omissions.

The ninth-place Lions are also hoping to snare a third win on the trot.
