MELBOURNE (Reuters) - After a nearly three-month pause due to COVID-19, the Australian Football League resumed at an empty Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday where a thrilling draw between bitter cross-town rivals played out against a background of anger at racial injustice.
Defending champions Richmond Tigers clawed back a four-goal deficit to reel in the Collingwood Magpies 5.6(36) - 5.6(36) in the first clash since the top flight of Australian Rules was suspended in March.
