Though boosted by an outstanding six-goal effort by Brendan Fevola,
Carlton still didn't have enough in reserve to beat St Kilda who had
Fraser Gehrig bag half-a-dozen for his side in an entertaining match
under the closed roof at Docklands on Friday night.
Sam Lienert reported on the AFL website that an undermanned St
Kilda used extreme flooding tactics to frustrate a dangerous Carlton
attack and lined up with as many as nine players in defence at times.
Andrew Wu noted for Sportal: The Blues were most
dangerous in the third quarter when their forwards were allowed to play
man-on-man, even if this meant they lined up with nine men inside their
attacking 50, slamming five unanswered goals to reduce a 34-point
deficit to just four shortly before three-quarter time. However, Gehrig
booted two of his six goals just prior to the final change and were able
to stem the Carlton charge.
Chip Le Grand assessed the match in The Australian:
With the best of Carlton absorbed, St Kilda finished stronger. The final
margin was an emphatic 43 points.
Ironically, the stand-out performance of the night was Fevola's. In a
match tailor-made for Fevola to experience the kind of brain-fade that
has marred his career, he competed relentlessly against James Gwilt
and his many helpers to boot six goals and keep Carlton in the match.
His most fitting goal was his last, Double-teamed by Gwilt and Jason
Gram, Fevola out-bodied one and out-reached the other to mark three
deep.
For St Kilda, the clear head and clean hands of Nick Dal Santo
provided the difference between the two teams in the midfield, along
with Steven Baker's typically brutal stopping job on Carlton's
Marc Murphy. Baker's only concern is the clumsy contact he made with
Jordan Russell in the opening quarter, when he flattened him with
a raised forearm.
Note: The AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night dealt with two
charges involving Baker. He was suspended for two matches; one for
striking Murphy, one for rough conduct on Russell. |

plea would draw a one-match suspension.
St Kilda sought the adjudication of the Tribunal on both
charges. On Tuesday the Tribunal found Baker guilty on
both charges. He was however spared a third week of
suspension by the ruling of Tribunal chairman David
Jones. Instead of combining the points from both
guilty verdicts, which would have given Baker a
three-match suspension, the St Kilda was allowed to
carry forward 155 demerit points towards his next
appearance at the Tribunal, or effectively taking a one
match suspended sentence. |
In
the Saturday afternoon match at the MCG Hawthorn were spurred on with a
career-best nine goals from Lance 'Buddy' Franklin, including
five in a sensational 15-minute burst in the second quarter, which
enabled the Hawks to comfortably beat Essendon by 35 points.
Ben Dixon and Tim Boyle both added three goals in
supporting roles up forward, while Shane Crawford reprised some
of his very best form with 27 touches in midfield. He had no shortage of
helpers around the ball, with Brad Sewell, Sam Mitchell
and Jordan Lewis all picking up more than 20 touches.
Angus Morgan noted for Sportal: Not as eye-catching
but just as effective was Campbell Brown who conceded 15cm to
Scott Lucas and held the Bombers forward, of whom much was expected
in the absence of Matthew Lloyd, to just 10 possessions and one
goal.
For the Bombers, Jason Johnson's first match for 2007 was a
beauty, and he enjoyed good support from Mark McVeigh and
Brent Stanton.
Emma Quayle for The Age noted Hawthorn was good not
only at setting the pace, but making sure the Bombers were never really
able to think clearly. The Hawks played with quicker wits than the
Bombers, picking when they planned to handball and to whom. More than
once, an Essendon player tried to flick the ball over to someone running
past, only for it to be chopped off by a jumping Hawthorn player.
The Bombers' best chance came during the third term. They got to within
three points after a snap from Brent Stanton, and later to within
four, after the Lucas goal. Two pieces of play suggested the
Hawks were still thinking ahead of them: twice. Essendon players took
shots at goal, only to find a Hawthorn player standing alone on the goal
line.
Sunday was about Buddy being brilliant, and creating goals from nowhere.
But it also suggested opportunities are easier to make the most of when
you create plenty of them, and control the events surrounding them for
as long as you possibly can. |

West Coast notched its 9th straight win (six this year) when they
overcame the determined Western Bulldogs by the close margin of 15
points on Saturday afternoon at Subiaco Oval – there was never more than
three goals in it.
The match was close to cliffhanger territory with the difference at the
breaks, 4pts, 3pts, 12pts and finally 15 points, Both skippers had great
games with Chris Judd and Brad Johnson often opposed to
each other in the course of the absorbing battle. West Coast's Matt
Priddis was a surprise avenue towards goal with three majors to
complement his 25 possessions, while Judd dominated the clearances with
34 touches.
Mark Duffield in his review for The Age noted: This
was a game that pitted contrasting strengths. West Coast is the AFL's
best contested-ball winner, the Bulldogs the worst. While the Eagles are
no slouches with the way they move the ball, the Bulldogs are one of the
league's most efficient ball-moving teams, running the ball from
non-contest to non-contest on their way to goal. It was a case of smarts
and speed versus strength and structure.
The AFL website report noted: As so often at Subiaco this year, the
Eagles blasted from the blocks, with frontline pressure securing three
set shots from kickable positions within seven minutes of the first
bounce. However, all three resulted in behinds and Johnson was all too
willing to show the Eagles the error of their way, soccering through his
first to get their scoring under way.
Priddis, Quinten Lynch and Judd then kicked goals to give the
Eagles the early lead, before Robert Murphy and Farren Ray
pegged them back to within four points before the Eagles took a
three-point lead into half time.
After a notable first half, Priddis' second started spectacularly,
claiming two goals in quick succession to put their foot down. But with
David Wirrpanda's miserable day continuing when Daniel
Giansiracusa kicked his third, the last change margin of 12 looked
good, but not quite good enough.
With extreme pressure exerted by both teams in the last quarter, space
was at a premium until Jordan McMahon made his own with three
bounces before kicking truly again to set up a possible shock. But with
Darren Glass' outstanding season continuing, the Bulldogs could
not find another goal as the Eagles held on. |

In
the match played under a closed roof on Saturday night at Docklands the
Kangaroos leapt from the blocks with a seven-goal first quarter. While
Sydney made a crowd-pleasing trademark comeback the points went the way
of the team that richly deserved them – the Kangas by 16 points and
their third successive victory.
Jason Phelan reported for Sportal: The Swans
trailed for most of the night, but when Michael O'Loughlin booted
his second goal 20 minutes into the final quarter Sydney was just four
points in arrears. However, the Kangaroos showed what they are made of
with Matt Campbell snapping his third goal to give them breathing
space and Shannon Grant sealed the match with his fourth.
Grant was the architect of the win with 22 touches and 10 marks to go
with his goals that took him past 300 career goals. Daniel Wells
gathered most possessions for the blue-and-white with 23. Nic Fosdike
was clearly Sydney's best with 24 touches and five marks.
Martin Blake observed in The Age: For three
quarters, the Swans' plight was exemplified by Barry Hall, who
was well beaten by Michael Firrito, Sydney played Hall deeper
than usual, giving him some space to work on his less-heralded opponent.
But Firrito matched Hall for strength in marking contests, annoyed and
cajoled him to the point where the man who lifted the 2005 premiership
cup grew frustrated. It was a pivotal contest, for Sydney's fortunes so
often rise and fall on Hall's output.
But Hall would not be denied all night. The Kangas began the final
quarter with a five goal advantage and Hall barged and crashed and
willed himself into the contest, kicking three goals to almost turn the
game.
The Kangaroos had been marginally better prepared and a little harder
all night. In a sense the Kangas out-Sydneyed the Swans with their
approach, happy to play the low-possession game. |

Collingwood were refreshed after a 10-day break since Anzac Day when
they met Adelaide in fine conditions on Saturday night at Football Park.
The Pies silenced a stunned crowd of almost 44,000 with a convincing
24-point win.
Ashley Porter reviewed the match for The Age: With
both teams struck by injuries, it made it as much an absorbing battle of
tactics between the coaches as it was a gripping contest between two
ultimately very tired and sore teams, the win was well-earned.
Collingwood went into the game without Alan Didak (calf strain),
who was replaced by Chris Egan. Others were slightly hurt, but
continued admirably under duress, including Scott Burns (knee),
Simon Prestigiacomo (strained ankle), who was off for more than a
quarter, and James Clement, who appeared to strain an Achilles.
Adelaide went into the game with five key players in doubt – and it
showed – including Tyson Edwards, who spent most of the third
term in the rooms receiving treatment on a sore hamstring. Add those
woes to the bruises from the heavy bumps and tackles, and both teams
earned applause.
The Crows made one concerted surge either side of half time to reduce
the Magpies' early break, but five unanswered goals to the visitors,
including three to surprise pinch-hitter Chris Bryan, gave the
tiring Adelaide too much to do in the final 30 minutes. Instrumental in
Collingwood's success were defenders Rhyce and Heath Shaw,
while Tarkyn Lockyer, Dane Swan and Ben Johnson put
in committed four-quarter displays. The 228-game veteran Burns, Leon
Davis and Travis Cloke were also important, as was Harry
O'Brien.
Simon Goodwin in his 200th game, youngster Richard Douglas
(two goals), Scott Thompson and Andrew McLeod fought
gamely through their own fatigue for the Crows, while Ian Perrie
(three goals) proved their sole dangerous forward. |

The
Brisbane Lions continued their good start to the season with a strong
performance against Fremantle on a fine and hot Sunday afternoon at the
Gabba – reports had it low 30s in the middle. The Lions outlasted the
Dockers who still have never won in Brisbane at seven attempts.
Andrew Stafford assessed the day for The Age:
Ashley McGrath played a near-perfect small forward's game, kicking
five goals for the Lions in a dynamic display, while Jonathan Brown,
Chris Johnson, Justin Sherman and Luke Power all
booted two.
At the other end, Matthew Pavlich and Chris Tarrant kicked
three each for the visitors, but were hindered by limited supply.
Marc Fox noted for Sportal: In an exhausting
contest in 33-degree heat, the home side led at every change but the
Dockers will rue a profligate third-quarter display against a Lions side
which temporarily lost Simon Black, McGrath and Charman through
injury.
The Dockers were thrashed in the middle, where Charman and Beau
McDonald battled heroically to contain the influence of Aaron
Sandilands. They were assisted at ground level by Simon Black,
and two younger names in Cheynee Stiller and Scott Harding.
Stiller is in his second year of senior football. He was complimented
with a tag, yet found the ball 23 times as he cruised around in a manner
befitting a young Nigel Lappin – Lappin himself returned from a
four week layoff with a solid game, compiling 26 possessions.
For the Dockers, the positives were few. One of the early premiership
favourites now sits with a 2+4 win-loss record and has a small mountain
to climb if it is to remain in top-four contention. |

Port Adelaide finally broke the hoodoo and beat Melbourne at the MCG for
the first time on Sunday afternoon in generally fine conditions, though
the gloom descending late in the day – around about the time two
controversial free kicks were handed to Port and denied the Demons their
first win of the season.
Paul Gough explained in his report for Sportal:
After Daniel Motlop had kicked a banana goal on the run to put
Port in front at the 25-minute mark of the final term, the Demons
immediately went forward where Aaron Davey goaled and appeared to
have put his side back in front with two minutes remaining.
However the goal was disallowed for a pushing infringement against
Melbourne skipper David Neitz on Port full-back Darryl Wakelin.
While that decision appeared technical but correct, Melbourne fans were
rightly furious when their last opportunity to win the game was taken
from them by a dreadful deliberate out of bounds free kick against
James McDonald with about 50 seconds remaining.
The ball was on the Demons half-back flank, but there was still time for
Melbourne to get the ball forward and kick the goal they needed to win
the game, when McDonald was penalised for handballing over the line
deliberately.
On Monday, AFL umpires' boss Jeff Gieschen conceded the free kick
against McDonald was incorrect.
Gough concludes defeat was harsh on the Demons, who produced their best
performance of a disappointing season so far, but they also had
themselves to blame as they threw away victory through poor kicking for
goal.
While respective skippers Neitz and Warren Tredrea were both
returning from injury, they each kicked two goals, but neither had much
impact on a day when both teams did their best to lose as luck deserted
Melbourne in the dying minutes. |

On
Sunday night at Docklands, Geelong gave Richmond its biggest defeat of
1,989 League matches. A crowd of 34,584 witnessed the 157-point mauling
as the Cats enjoyed a remarkable blitz of sustained scoring – 10.2 in
Q1, 10.4 in Q2, 9.3 in Q3 and 6.3 in the final term.
Jason Phelan reported for Sportal: Geelong had
winners all over the park, Gary Ablett leading the way with 32
touches, while Richmond's Nathan Foley (28 disposals) at least
tried hard for his side.
Paul Chapman was everywhere with nine touches and three goals in
the first quarter with Gary Ablett not far behind. Chapman went off with
back soreness and only came on again briefly in the second when he added
a fourth despite his discomfort.
The Tigers were 43 points behind before Matthew White booted
their first goal, but the Geelong machine continued undeterred and led
by 55 points at the first break. Richmond went into the ultra flood in
the second quarter in a feeble effort to stop the bleeding, but it made
little difference as Geelong piled on another 10 goals and restricted
the Tigers to one when the Cats led by 107 points.
Geelong kept piling on the goals until three-quarter time when their
score was 29.9-183, the highest score at that time of any previous
VFL-AFL match. The Cats had 15 individual goalkickers, of which Chapman,
Nathan Ablett, Tom Hawkins and Andrew Mackie all
booted four, while Travis Varcoe, Gary Ablett and Cameron Ling
all booted three.
The Cats showed some sign of mercy taking the foot off the pedal
allowing Richmond in the last quarter to play their best football of the
day. |
