Almanac Weekend Sport Results 17/4/16

AFL

Round 4 and Kangas remain the only unbeaten team, leaving Freo winless. Hawks continue their lucky streak with another close shave, this time against the brave Saints, Melbourne shows it is capable with a good win against the soul less magpies, Crows hold on in an Adelaide thriller against the Swannies, Doggies retain their sexiness without Murph and suffer further injuries, Giants thump Port, Brisbane remind the plucky Suns with a who’s your daddy performance, Cats rule the farm and Tigers, well they continue to be unimpressive.
