By a margin of 73 points, St
Kilda recorded their greatest win over Collingwood when they played under the closed roof
at Docklands Stadium on Friday night. The Saints posted their fourth straight win and 10th
for the season, lifting them to fourth place on the ladder.
However, the victory came at a price with defenders Max Hudghton
and Xavier Clarke both injured during the second quarter. Bruce
Matthews observed for the Herald Sun: St Kilda's acting captain Justin
Koschitzke built on the solid form of the past three weeks with another polished
leadership performance which helped set up a percentage-boosting victory against an
inexperienced and wasteful Collingwood. Whether setting the Saints' onballers free at the
centre bounce duels or drifting forward toward to take one-grab, contested marks, Kosi
would again be in line for Brownlow votes from the thumping win.
Justin Phelan noted for Sportal: Stephen Milne
was lively up forward and should have finished with more than his four goals, while Luke
Ball and Lenny Hayes were important through the middle with 32
and 26 disposals respectively. As always, Magpie captain Nathan Buckley
was prominent – finishing with 26 touches – and Leon Davis rebounded
well from a trouble week with an eye-catching 21-possession, two-goal effort.
The Herald Sun concluded: St Kilda's ferocious tackling had a few of the more
seasoned Magpies jumping sideways. And the Saints' slick finishing underlined the talent
gulf between the combatants. Actually, there was nothing wrong with Collingwood's
endeavour ... pity about the application. For instance, the Magpies ventured inside their
forward 50 16 times for a solitary goal in the second term. The Saints took it within
range 13 times to produce five goals.
After halftime was the only period which the Magpies looked equals, booting five of the
first seven goals to trim the deficit to 22 points after 22 minutes. Pie coach Mick
Malthouse would have been watching closely to see how his charges ran out of the
game, and he would surely have been disappointed as the Saints bullied Collingwood into
submission – outscoring the Pies six goals to two in the last quarter. |

Hawthorn and Carlton staged the
battle for the wooden spoon on Saturday afternoon at the MCG. The Hawks won the battle by
24 points to move six points clear and consign the bottom-placed Blues to their second
wooden spoon in four years – it was Carlton's 11th successive defeat.
Jason Phelan noted for Sportal: Both sides had to deal with late changes
to their line-ups with the Hawks forced to bring in Harry Miller and Nick
Ries for Shane Crawford (quad) and Michael Osborne
(hamstring) while the Blues substituted Callum Chambers for Adrian
Deluca (foot).
The brand of attacking football was entertaining to watch, and with 22 goals kicked
between the sides in the first half, it was clear both teams had come to play. Both sides
made costly errors that were indicative of their respective positions on the ladder, but
it was a fast-paced affair that both teams employing high intensity throughout. Hawthorn
small forward Mark Williams celebrated his 50th game in style with a
five-goal performance, which also saw him regain top spot in the race for the Coleman
Medal.
Luke Hodge and Danny Jacobs were important with 34 and
31 possessions respectively, while Peter Everitt continued to dominate
with 20 hitouts – by far the most of any player. Brendan Fevola
finally ended his drought, finding the goals for the first time in three weeks and
finished with four, while Nick Stevens performed admirably in the
midfield with 26 disposals. Goalsneak Eddie Betts made a mockery of the
Hawks' defence at times, doing as he liked in the crumbing and finishing with 26
disposals.
Lyall Johnson in The Age summarised: It is easy to be critical,
but amid the mire, there were some positives. Although the game reverted to its awful
over-possession style after half-time, the biggest distinction of the first half was the
Hawks updated game plan of attempting to move the ball through the corridor. It was
encouraging to see players looking inboard for options rather than going sideways.
However, in the second half, Hawthorn reverted to its "handball for handball's
sake" habits that more than often than not brought things undone. By game's end,
Hawthorn had clocked up 171 handballs to Carlton's 93. |

Both Geelong and the Western
Bulldogs staged a remarkable turnaround of form from the previous week when they met at
Docklands on Saturday afternoon. The Bulldogs sparkled, while the Cats were embarrassingly
disappointing. The Dogs ended a three-match losing streak, while Geelong's recent
'loss-win-loss-win' trend continued for the seventh consecutive time.
Sportal's Paul Gough heralded the unveiling of a future
champion, 18-year-old Ryan Griffen. Gough noted that the Dogs appear to
have unearthed a player whom they can build their team around in years to come, as he
produced a magnificent performance which would have left Bulldogs fans bursting with
excitement over just how good he can become in future seasons.
Griffen's skill and poise off a half-back flank was one of the highlights of a terrific
match in which the Bulldogs played some of the best football imaginable for two and-a-half
quarters before then surviving a late fightback from the Cats, who had looked a shadow of
the team widely tipped to be a premiership contender for most of the game.
Despite Geelong booting eight of the last 11 goals of the match, the Bulldogs set up the
victory from the five-minute mark of the second term until the 20-minute mark of the third
quarter, when they piled on 10 goals to two. The Bulldogs had several outstanding players
– Wayde Skipper played his best match yet with five goals, while Nathan
Eagleton (four goals and 28 touches) was outstanding. Midfielders Ryan Griffen, Lindsay
Gilbee and Scott West notched up over 80 touches.
Geelong trailed by 68 points late in the third term before drawing within four goals
midway through the last quarter, before the Bulldogs added the last two goals and ran away
with a superb win. |

Despite a lazy third term, the
Brisbane Lions survived a fourth quarter scare from Essendon to hang on and record a
fourth straight home win on Saturday night before a near capacity crowd of 36,077 at the
Gabba. The Lions, who were lacklustre led by 35 points before Essendon mounted a
third-quarter comeback.
Peter Blucher reported the match for The Age – Brisbane's Jonathan
Brown, who almost single-handedly had beaten the Bombers with eight goals in
round six, had been under a cloud all week with the early stages of osteitis pubis,
gathered 15 possessions, nine marks and kicked five goals in the victory. He kicked two
magnificent long goals from the boundary line to answer queries over his kicking.
Up by 28 points late in the second term the Lions looked to have it under control before
the Bombers, inspired by Scott Lucas at centre half-forward, kicked four
goals in eight minutes to pull within four points at the final change. Lucas then put the
Bombers in front three minutes into the final term before the Lions found an unlikely hero
in Anthony Corrie, who kicked three final-quarter goals. It was back out
to 21 points but still Essendon wasn't finished as Corrie went from hero to villain,
giving away a free kick and compounding his error with a 50-metre penalty that presented Matthew
Lloyd with his only goal for the night.
Andrew Lovett booted his third for the Dons and then Andrew Welsh,
dragged earlier, returned to kick a beauty from the boundary – it was back to two
points with still 10 minutes to play. In the end Nigel Lappin, forever
praised by Matthews for his courage to run when he is exhausted, kicked the clincher when
he goaled from the pocket.
Josh Drummond, was best afield with a starring role in defence. He had 26
possessions and provided a mountain of run. Midfielders Simon Black, Michael
Voss and Lappin. For the Bombers, Jason Johnson and Damien
Peverill led the possession count with 23 and 22, but it was a player of the
future, Brent Stanton, who really caught the eye – the speedy
midfielder had 20 disposals and drove the ball inside 50 on six occasions. |

Port Adelaide survived a brave
fightback by Richmond to narrowly win by 13 points on Saturday night in wet conditions at
Football Park. However, the defending premiers did little to quell concerns about its
quality with a performance that was patchy at best. The Tigers dropped from the top eight
for the first time since early April and yielded their place to Brisbane.
Anthony Barich for the Sunday Herald Sun observed: Port were
fuelled by the industry of Adam Kingsley and Roger James
in the centre square when the Power kicked seven goals in the first quarter – six in
the first 15 minutes. Port grabbed the lead within the first minute when Kane
Cornes's pass was converted by Brendon Lade. The home side's
early dominance was underlined by goals to Josh Mahoney, Brett
Ebert, Warren Tredrea, Lade again and Byron Pickett.
But a rise in Richmond's work rate coincided with a customary drop in concentration from a
patchy Port in the second quarter.
Sportal reported: Richmond looked out of the contest when Port established a
43-point buffer early in the second term, but the Tigers turned it around in the midfield.
The new-found control saw Richmond pile on five of the next six goals to get within 18
points at half-time when heavy rain was falling. The Tigers' amazing comeback continued
with the wet ball in the second half with Matthew Richardson and Troy
Simmonds (replayed free kick) converting in the opening minutes. A long Stuart
Dew major slowed the Tigers scoring spree but the visitors kept coming. Greg
Tivendale goaled from 50 metres and when Brett Deledio made the
most of a free kick from 40 metres the Tigers were in front by a point.
Alan Shiell noted: Richardson failed to score from a gettable shot within
50m, and Port responded with a goal on the run from Shaun Burgoyne, who
had been pitched into the midfield after blanketing Andrew Krakouer at
half-back. Richardson speared a good goal from deep in the pocket to leave Richmond two
points behind, but goals to Mahoney and Michael Pettigrew either side of
a Pickett behind put Port 15 points clear at the 20-minute mark. Then two rushed behinds
were the only scores in the last 12 minutes of the match. While Port won the game, it
appears that both teams will struggle to make the eight. |

Sydney ended West Coast's
seven-match winning streak and enhanced its reputation with a 21-point win over the
ladder-leaders in front of the biggest crowd at the SCG for four years on a fine and sunny
Sunday afternoon – 37,071 attended.
Jenny McAsey reviewed the match for The Australian: If there was a
measure of respect last week (when they beat Melbourne), there must be unabashed
admiration for Sydney after it beat West Coast in every department as it moved to third
place and confirmed its reputation. West Coast, which has won this year in all corners of
the country from its home in Perth, to Brisbane, Melbourne, Launceston and Adelaide, was
overcome on the small confines of the SCG by a team that set out to apply pressure and
force a contest at every opportunity. The Swans didn't tag or scrag the Eagles' midfield
guns, captain Ben Cousins, Brownlow medallist Chris Judd
and Daniel Kerr out of the game. Instead, as Sydney's latest captain Jude
Bolton explained, the Swans learned the way Collingwood beat the Eagles in round
nine, West Coast's only defeat before the Swans.
While mobile defender Craig Bolton was a surprise match-up for Judd, Jude
Bolton ran with Kerr and Luke Ablett stuck with Cousins for most of the
game. The midfield rotations were so frenzied. It also meant the gangly Lewis
Roberts-Thomson, Sydney's rawest defender, was given the task of quelling
brilliant Eagles' ruckman Dean Cox after he had booted four goals in the
second quarter to give West Coast a seven-point half-time lead.
In attack, Sydney was too versatile, fielding a combination of brawn, speed and skill. Barry
Hall kicked just two goals but bullocked opponents out of the way, while Michael
O'Loughlin outclassed Brett Jones to kick three. Adam
Schneider, on the outer for much of the season, proved his value with two
inspiring smothers and two team-lifting goals in the second half as Sydney ran away with
the game, kicking eight goals to the Eagles' three.
Tim Morrisey concluded in the Daily Telegraph: Sydney's
premiership stocks climbed dramatically after pulling off a stunning upset against the
side everyone has labelled the red-hot favourites. Despite the loss West Coast remain the
benchmark and still the team to beat come September because their all-star midfield that
has surpassed Brisbane's Fab Four as the best in the business. |

Second-placed Adelaide remain in
firm contention after surviving a ferocious last quarter comeback by the Kangaroos to win
by 13 points on Sunday afternoon at Docklands. The Crows have now won eight of its past
nine matches, and their fourth from five games at Docklands.
When Adelaide captain Mark Ricciuto kicked the second of his
three goals nearly 13 minutes into the third term, the Crows had streamed out to a
49-point lead, as noted by Melissa Ryan in The Age: It had come
on the back of a deadly ferocity at the contests – largely matched by the
ever-spirited Kangaroos – and the precision in then delivering the ball forward,
particularly to a rampant Scott Welsh, who showed up his old teammate Glenn
Archer by kicking five goals on him in the first half.
The Kangaroos missed easy goal-scoring shots throughout – from set shots, hitting the
post, or pushed out to wide angles because of Adelaide's blocking prowess – and had
10 scoring shots to four in the high-pressure final term as they pressed the Crows. Leigh
Harding was the main offender with 1.4 for the day. It had been a pattern
established early. The Roos dominated the opening 10 minutes of the second quarter for
little scoreboard reward, with three missed shots before Shannon Grant
kicked one of his four goals after David Hale swooped on the ball as if
he was the size of Brent Harvey. But the Crows retaliated with six of the
next eight goals.
Matt Burgan reported for Sportal: The Kangaroos deserve a heap
of praise for their never-say-die spirit, booting six majors to three in the final term,
and although they got back to within seven points after Sav Rocca kicked
his second, Ken McGregor answered with the final goal of the match and
the Crows held on for a win to savour. Welsh finished with six goals in an outstanding
display, while Tyson Edwards – clearly one of the most underrated
players in the competition – was damaging with three goals and 23 disposals. |

Fremantle kept its finals hopes
alive with a gritty 25-point win over Melbourne who suffered their fifth straight defeat
and from second a month ago are now just clinging on to eighth place. The slippery
conditions on Sunday afternoon contributed to a see-sawing contest with 31,028 attending
Subiaco Oval under darkening skies.
Sportal reviewed the match: After three quarters of tight football,
where the greatest lead for either side was 13 points, Fremantle turned it on in the final
stanza to register its eighth win of the season, just one game out of the top eight. Heath
Black was again the chief catalyst, setting up Fremantle's forward forays from
across half back. Des Headland (three goals) and Paul Hasleby
(two) were also prominent as the home side sparked in the second half.
Light rain fell in the first quarter with Melbourne starting brightly nabbing the first
two goals. Fremantle replied through twin towers Matthew Pavlich and Luke
McPharlin before the sides traded goals. The rain cleared in the second term but
the contest continued to be fought in tight. The Dockers looked set to take charge but a
sensational goal from Cameron Bruce and two to Aaron Davey
saw Melbourne maintain its slight lead at the main break.
Mic Cullen noted: Headland grabbed seven touches and worked hard in the
third term. Bruce snapped a stunner from the left pocket, Ryan Ferguson
kicked a rare goal and McPharlin got a couple, but it was Hasleby's goal with a second to
go that gave the hosts a one-goal lead as the team turned for home. Byron Schammer
opened the scoring in the last, then Pavlich and Headland both added their third goals and
Ryan Crowley flew for a mark and played on two metres out to make the
margin five goals and the game was over. |
