The Brisbane Lions struggled all
night against a polished performance by St Kilda under the roof at Docklands on Thursday.
An outstanding display by midfield pair NICK RIEWOLDT and LENNY HAYES constructed a
winning forward formula to the Saints' 37-point victory. The win however came at a price
when Saint veteran ROBERT HARVEY in his 320th game hurt his hamstring and did not return
in the second half.
The Saints booted seven goals in the first quarter and kept the Lions at arm's
length for the rest of the night. Key forward Riewoldt kicked five goals, pocket playmaker
Stephen Milne got three in his 100th game while Nick Dal Santo
together with Hayes were influential and tireless midfielders. Even with a bandaged head
wound, nothing slowed Dal Santo as he ended with 31 possessions while Hayes had an
impressive game-high 38. In a team void of winners, Lions skipper Michael Voss
tried valiantly while Jamie Charman toiled manfully in the ruck.
Sportal noted: There were some intriguing duels – youngster
Wayde Mills (who played his first senior game last week on Essendon's Scott
Lucas) earned the daunting task on Riewoldt. The blond bombshell kicked three
first-quarter goals, and looked ominous, but Mills battled diligently and was among his
team's best players. Hulking full-back Mal Michael took Fraser
Gehrig and Justin Leppitsch manned Aaron Hamill.
Chris Johnson was on Brendon Goddard, and was left very
much in his wake during the first half. At the other end, Daniel Bradshaw
and Max Hudghton locked horns before the prized Lions forward was forced
from the ground in the last term with a groin injury.
Mark Stevens summarised for the Herald Sun: Not
only did the Saints match it in the tough stuff but they preyed on a lack of speed, skill
and poise shown by their once mighty opponent. Sure, the Lions had the excuse of being
forced to travel on the back of only a five-day break and Simon Black
hobbling after the first contest of the game didn't help either. But Leigh
Matthews' team looked trapped in two time zones. His old players are looking very
old and his young players very raw. The guys somewhere in the middle are being asked to do
too much. The Lions have blooded 16 first-gamers since Round 1 last year. Clearly, they
are now in rebuilding mode. |

After a superb opening fortnight
against the Lions and Kangas, Geelong were humiliated by a young and hungry Hawthorn side
on Saturday afternoon in front of a packed crowd at the Cattery of 24,026. It was a stark
reality check and the Cats also have some worrying injuries to contend with, including
captain STEVEN KING who will be out at least two games with a hamstring strain after
lasting only five minutes on Saturday. The long-priced outsiders produced a stunning
result – the Hawks booted nine goals to two after half-time to be runaway winners by
52 points.
Rohan Connolly recorded for The Age: Only one thing
stood in the way of a half-time lead proving considerably more. And not for the first time
in the past couple of seasons, that was Hawthorn's execution. The Hawks butchered the ball
at times, early in the second quarter having racked up 26 'clangers' to the home side's
13. There were turnovers, there was poor decision making, not all of which could be blamed
simply on a tricky breeze, and at one stage in the second term, an almost comical passage
of play when, despite the aid of that wind, the Hawks kept chipping the ball around their
defensive 50 for very little reward, and certainly no gain.
You sensed Geelong needed merely to lift its intensity in the second half, and its slicker
skills and bigger names would kill off Hawthorn, a perception only strengthened when Jimmy
Bartel slotted the first goal of the third quarter after one minute. But the Cats
appeared to be thinking the same thing. Hawthorn just kept winning the hard ball, the
contests, and gradually started hitting targets with greater frequency. There was a
19-minute arm wrestle between Bartel's goal and the next scored in the game, by Mark
Williams, but with the breaking of the drought, so was Geelong's resistance
effectively shattered. The result was nine goals in succession before Steve
Johnson's token response in the 26th minute of the final term, and by then the
margin had blown out to a whopping 57 points.
Geelong was merely a shadow of the team which enjoyed convincing victories in the first
two rounds. Hawthorn, in contrast, tasted arguably its best victory since Alastair
Clarkson took over as coach in 2005. |

Carlton played with great spirit
under the closed roof of Docklands on Saturday night as they pressed Sydney until the
final siren. Though the Swans led by around three goals for most of the match the Blues
came hard in the last quarter as the visitors held on for a workmanlike seven point win to
gain their first points of the season.
Jason Phelan reported for Sportal: The Swans looked to
have the wood on Carlton for much of the first half, but were unable to shake the dogged
Blues who came storming back in the second and were a chance right up to the final siren.
Leo Barry was a huge presence in defence for Sydney – pulling down a
whopping 18 marks and gathering 29 possessions – and Michael O'Loughlin
was chief scorer on the night with four goals. For the Blues, Lance Whitnall
was instrumental on Barry Hall, with the Sydney tri-captain booting just
one goal – yet it was the match-sealer. Carlton's Nick Stevens was
also noted for his outstanding match.
Sydney opened with three goals, which was also the margin at quarter-time, after Carlton
managed just one major in the period. Again, Sydney led by 18 points at half-time, before
they extended that lead to 30 points – the biggest of the match – early in the
third term. Carlton then produced a stunning revival.
In 12 minutes, the Blues kicked five unanswered goals, levelling the scores in injury
time. But, when Jarrad McVeigh broke the drought and O'Loughlin bagged
his fourth, the Swans gained a 13-point breather heading into the final stanza.
Carlton wasn't done yet, though. Brendan Fevola bagged his second and Dylan
McLaren stood tall to mark and just eight minutes had elapsed in the last. Jude
Bolton made the task difficult when he goaled soon after and Hall looked to have
sealed it when he put through his only major for the night. Fevola's third from 55 metres
gave the Blues hope, but Sydney used the ball masterfully in the dying minutes to see off
the challenge. |

A plucky Richmond fought bravely
in the first half on Saturday night at Subiaco when they held West Coast to just a
13-point lead at the long break. Thereafter the Tigers were mere spectators as the Eagles
blitzed the scoreboard with a third term of 8.3 that illustrated the gulf of class between
the two teams concluding with a clinical 46-point dissection of Richmond.
Digby Beacham reported in The Sunday Times:
Unfortunately for the Tigers, their woes weren't just confined to the scoreboard.
Youngster Thomas Roach was taken to hospital during the third quarter (a
fractured cheekbone) and key defender Darren Gaspar failed to complete
the match with a hamstring strain.
As expected, Richmond did its best to shut down the Eagles, but were simply swamped by
overall class and several telling performances from the club's unheralded brigade, namely Mark
Nicoski, Adam Hunter and Quinten Lynch. The
Tigers pushed a heap of numbers behind the ball, which the Eagles countered by hard
running, better disposal, superior decision-making and excellent defensive pressure.
Milestone man David Wirrpanda's night mirrored that of his team. In his
150th game, he struggled to contain Chris Hyde early on and
then found himself on the nippy Richard Tambling, who kicked a goal soon
after being positioned in a forward-pocket. But as the game progressed, the veteran
Eagle's small defender became highly effective and, like so many of his teammates, could
reflect on a job well done.
Conversely, you had to look far and wide for Richmond's better performers. Veteran
full-forward Matthew Richardson toiled throughout to finish with 4.1, Shane
Tuck tallied 28 disposals, Kane Johnson worked hard opposed to Chris
Judd and Patrick Bowden was serviceable to continue his bright
start at Punt Road. |

AFL premiership football
returned to the Gold Coast for the first time since 1992 when Melbourne played a *home*
match at Carrara Oval in cloudy conditions on Sunday afternoon. A disappointing crowd of
just 8,258 saw Adelaide hold off the fast-finishing Demons to win by five points.
Andrew Stafford's report in The Age noted: It was an
improved effort from the Demons, who had lost their preceding four interstate games by an
average of nine goals. But the match still looked beyond their grasp for much of the game.
Melbourne lacked the class and finishing skills of the Crows, and a player capable of
imposing his will on the game. For Adelaide, that player was Brett Burton.
The Birdman was in brilliant form early, and his four first-quarter goals set up the game
for his side. Later it was Mark Ricciuto, whose three goals all came at
critical junctures, and Andrew McLeod, whose game featured several
signature lightning runs through the middle.
Sportal noted that after Melbourne kicked the opening two goals,
the Crows held them scoreless to lead by 31 points at the first break. Melbourne made
inroads into the deficit in the second quarter, but Adelaide managed to slam through five
majors against the breeze. The situation looked grim for the Dees at 38 points down, but
they put on an impressive four-goal burst – including Cameron Bruce's
second – to trail by just 13 points at half-time.
The Crows threatened to run away with it once again early in the third with the first
three goals, but the Demons did well to hold the difference to 23 points at the last
change. Adelaide looked shaky when David Neitz and Nathan Brown
goaled early in the last term, but a goal to Ricciuto settled the Crows. Aaron
Davey had the chance to draw the sides level with just 70 seconds left and his
effort from outside 50 looked to have done the job, but a desperate lunge from Adelaide's Trent
Hentschel saved the day for the Crows. |

The Western Bulldogs on Sunday
under the open roof at Docklands continued their best start to a season since 1998 when
kept their unbeaten record intact and won over Essendon for the first time since 2000. In
the course of the match both sides suffered serious injuries – the Bulldogs lost two
more big men WILL MINSON (broken leg) and ADAM MORGAN (knee) as well as an ankle injury to
the pacy DANIEL GIANSIRACUSA – Essendon lost their captain MATTHEW LLOYD late in the
third term to a combination of a corked thigh and a hamstring strain.
Paul Gough reported for Sportal: Minson
suffered a broken leg just before half-time when his leg became trapped in a goalmouth
scramble before Morgan suffered a serious knee injury in the final term. It means the
Bulldogs are now without five players who stand 195cm or taller.
In a gripping final term as the Bombers threw everything at the injury-ravaged Dogs, Rodney
Eade's team badly needed one of their few remaining big men to stand up and be
counted as their team of mainly fleet-footed runners began to look tired for the first
time this season. But enter 33-year-old Chris Grant, who used every one
of his 315 games experience to advantage as he both won and saved the game for the
Bulldogs.
Grant not only did a fine job at centre half-back on Scott Lucas for most
of the game as he repelled attack after attack from the Bombers but then went forward to
snap a great goal at the 21-minute mark of the final term – his second for the game
– to steady the Bulldogs just as they needed it most.
Michael Gleeson observed in The Age: Essendon,
through a welcome-back-to-football purple opening from James Hird and the
rebounding of Dustin Fletcher, controlled the momentum and tempo of the
game for the first half. The Dogs gathered their running game together in the third term,
though squandered shots at goal, with five behinds in three minutes at one point. Indeed
it was a day when an extraordinary nine shots hit the post. |

Twenty-six goals in three
quarters of football is not a lot, but it is when both Port and Fremantle had a goal-less
opening quarter at Football Park – for the the first time in an AFL match since 1998.
Fremantle won in Adelaide for only the third occasion when it downed Port by 31 points
which stunned the 25,042 Easter Sunday afternoon fans at West Lakes.
Alan Shiell reported the match for Sportal: Midfielder
Josh Carr, a member of Port's 2004 premiership team, played an important
role in Fremantle's win by having 27 disposals – 17 kicks, 10 handpasses – and
sinking two goals, while repeatedly niggling some of his former team-mates, physically and
verbally. Matthew Pavlich (his 100th consecutive game) was the dominant
forward for Fremantle – while kicking only one goal – Paul Hasleby
and Shaun McManus were busy midfielders, and Michael Johnson,
Roger Hayden and Matthew Carr were vital cogs in a
defence that was often crowded because of the Dockers' flooding tactics.
Kane Cornes was Port's biggest possession winner – 15 kicks, 11
handpasses – ruckman Brendon Lade kicked four goals, and Peter
Walsh, Peter and Shaun Burgoyne, Chad
Cornes, Nathan Lonie, Josh Mahoney, Daniel
Motlop and Danyle Pearce had their moments. But Fremantle,
quicker and more committed – and more skilful, at least in the second half – led
for all bar the first few minutes of the match and was good enough to withstand the
Power's strong finish and scoot away again.
Port was a surprisingly slim shadow of the side that shocked Sydney the previous Sunday,
lacking much of the intensity and aggression that had helped it down the Swans, and having
too many players who went to ground too easily.
Incredibly and inexcusably, 14 behinds – Fremantle eight and Port six – were
scored before Jeff Farmer kicked the first goal of the match
four-and-a-half minutes into the second term. |

Collingwood kicked their biggest
score for five years when they thoroughly outclassed the Kangaroos by 77 points on Easter
Monday at Docklands before a near-capacity crowd of 48,721. CHRIS TARRANT re-discovered
his kicking boots with six-straight goals.
The Magpie result is particularly encouraging as the exciting trio of Nathan
Buckley, Anthony Rocca and Josh Fraser show no
evidence of problem injuries which ruined last season. Paul Gough
pertinently noted for Sportal: For the Kangaroos it was a third
loss in excess of 11 goals in their past four matches – counting last year's 87-point
loss in the Elimination Final to Port Adelaide – as the club once famed for its
"Shinboner Spirit" surrendered with barely a fight.
It was in the midfield where the Kangas were simply torn to shreds. Buckley was brilliant
in the first term with 10 touches and finished with 25 overall, Shane O'Bree (26)
and Brodie Holland (18) were also great throughout, while Tarkyn
Lockyer (20) and Ben Johnson (22) were terrific off half-back
and were so often the springboard for wave after wave of ball movement through the
midfield.
All the Kangaroos could counter with was an outstanding six-goal haul from Saverio
Rocca (a late inclusion), which included three in a five-minute burst in the
second term that levelled the scores.
Brent Harvey and Daniel Harris toiled hard all
afternoon, but they had little support in a performance that would have shocked the
Kangaroo faithful, most of whom were watching their side in the flesh for the first time
this year. |
