Two opening round winners met on
a clear and mild but breezy Friday
night at Football Park for a solid roll up of 41,189 fans. The two-goal
margin for St Kilda at quarter-time seemed to be playing against the script
as the Saints had only won four times in 18 seasons at the venue.
Ashley Porter noted in The Age: St Kilda enjoyed one of
its best starts to a game for a long time. It was full of character. The
Saints worked the ball cleverly through the zone with short and
effective handballs, and gave their forwards numerous opportunities.
St Kilda continued its magnificent effort after half-time, and when
Adelaide ruckman Ivan Maric lost his temper and gave away a
foolish 50-metre penalty to place Michael Gardiner in the
goalsquare, the Saints extended their lead to 22 points.
Adelaide was left floundering in its forward line, and not helping was
the fact Trent Hentschel, who last week returned to the game
after cruel knee injuries had sidelined him for more than two years, did
not resume after half-time because of a hamstring tear.
But to Adelaide's credit, it never gave up, and with two goals from
Jason Porplyzia in two minutes, and two unlucky misses from
youngster Taylor Walker, the Crows got within five points at
three-quarter time.
The Saints had a bad history on the road against them, but they had a
breeze behind them that was even more helpful going into the last
quarter. And more importantly, they had the will to carry them through
in an incredibly hard-fought contest. Adelaide fought back tenaciously,
but nothing was going to stop the Saints. |

In
overcast conditions at Kardinia Park the lifeless Tigers of the opening
round gave Sleepy Hollow residents reasons to wring their hands when
they had the Cats on the ropes at three-quarter time on Saturday
afternoon Richmond led Geelong by a point.
The Cats responded accordingly and went on to beat the Tigers by 20
points when the home side found the answers.
Mic Cullen for the AFL webpage reported: Steve Johnson
ensured the Cats' 44th victory from its last 47 games, kicking three of
his four goals in the final quarter after utility Joel Bowden
threatened to put Richmond in a winning position. Paul Chapman
was the only other goalkicker of a nerve-wracking last term.
Richmond, thrashed by Carlton by 83 points in last week's season opener,
looked a vastly different side, particularly in a third term encouraged
by Brett Deledio (30 possessions), Nathan Brown (29)
Nathan Foley (20), captain Chris Newman and veteran
Matthew Richardson.
However, early signs suggested only minor progress with the endeavour of
the midfield and backline showing up deficiencies in attack.
While the Tigers were able to get the ball into the forward 50, the lack
of a genuine target allowed the Cats to bring it out with ease.
But when Richardson was used there, teammates seemed to feed off his
confidence and they looked a much better structure.
Defender Alex Rance was very good on debut while Daniel
Jackson saw out an effective tagging role on Geelong danger-man
Joel Selwood.
For the Cats, Harry Taylor continued his emergence as a key
defender, Andrew Mackie kept Mitch Morton to two goals,
though both crucial to the Tigers' third-quarter fight-back, and Gary
Ablett (29 touches) lifted at the most important stages.
Usual suspects Joel Corey (25), Jimmy Bartel (25) and
Cameron Ling (21) played key midfield roles in Geelong's half-time
lead and starved Richmond's productive ball-winners in the run home. |

record. King with an early plea accepted guilt and the MRP penalty of a
reprimand. |
Melbourne got off to a
terrific start against Collingwood on a mainly overcast Saturday
afternoon for 43,176 at the MCG. The cellar-dweller Demons with fast
movement through the corridor surprised the Magpies and not until the
twin-goals from Alan Didak at the 17th and 21st minutes of Q2 did
the two draw level (44pts each) and from which point Collingwood were
never headed again for the rest of the match.
Glenn McFarlane noted in the Herald Sun: They never really
looked back. The Magpies derived plenty of drive from Leon Davis
who swept through the half-back zone and the middle of the ground, while
Didak (who finished with three goals), Tarkyn Lockyer (two) and
John Anthony (four) finished off well in front of the goals.
Melbourne started the game full of running with Cameron Bruce in
blistering form racking up 12 touches in the first term. Aaron Davey
did a similar thing to Bruce in the third quarter, when he pocketed 15
touches when running loose. But, by this time, the Pies had well and
truly taken a firm grip on the contest.
Matthew Warnock enjoyed a good tussle with Travis Cloke
for the bulk of the game, even though the Magpie forward broke clear in
the last quarter to kick two goals when the contest was already a done
deal.
Brad Green tried had and finished with three goals, as did
Brad Miller who started strongly before copping a heavy knock.
Miller's contribution consisted of 14 marks, one less than Green.
David Reed summarised for the AFL webpage: Melbourne is probably
about where they thought they would be given the youth of their squad.
They were competitive for almost half a game but unable to keep up the
pace as the game wore on. |

Carlton held off a
fast-finishing Brisbane Lions on Saturday night under the closed roof at
Docklands Stadium where 42,496 attended. The Blues looked to have set up
a win but the Lions closed to within two goals 13 minutes into the last
quarter.
Melbourne's Herald Sun noted: But Carlton sealed the result with
back-to-back goals to Brendan Fevola, who had a relatively quiet
night for the first three terms. First, Carlton's Kade Simpson
intercepted a Simon Black handball at half-forward and sent a
long kick to the goalsquare to set up a Fevola mark. Then just more than
a minute later, Fevola produced a piece of magic, gathering the ball at
half-forward, turning in an instant and goaling with a brilliant snap
for his fifth for the game.
Captain Chris Judd and young midfield gun Bryce Gibbs led
the way, with fine support from Richard Hadley, Marc Murphy
and Kade Simpson, as the Blues dominated the midfield in the
second quarter when they kicked 8.3 to 1.3.
But the Brisbane midfielders responded well to push the ledger their way
in the third term and get back into the match. Veterans Luke Power
and Black, who returned from injury, were both good, while second-gamer
Daniel Rich continued the impressive form he showed in last
weekend's debut.
The ball-winning of Jed Adcock and Josh Drummond were also
major parts of the Lions' second half revival. Once they had a decent
amount of the ball, their forward line was a major threat with Daniel
Bradshaw and Jonathan Brown (three goals) dangerous. Bradshaw
kicked five goals in the second half to finish with six for the game,
helped by the absence of Carlton full-back Michael Jamison, who
went off injured just before half-time. |

Rumours of Sydney Swans'
demise appear to have been premature after they stunned reigning
premiers Hawthorn on a mostly fine Saturday night at Stadium Australia
at Homebush.
James Dempsey reported for Fox Sports that given little
chance heading into the match and widely tipped to slide down the ladder
after six straight seasons of finals football, Sydney responded in style
to triumph and leave the Hawks win-less after two rounds.
Sydney's veterans showed they still have some petrol left in their
ageing tanks, with Adam Goodes and Barry Hall kicking four
goals each and Brett Kirk shutting down Hawks skipper Sam Mitchell.
Craig Bolton got the better of his duel with Hawthorn superstar
Buddy Franklin, who had little impact, while Darren Jolly
and Jesse White excelled in the ruck and debutant Brett
Meredith also showed good signs. The ruck duo (Jolly 42, White 28)
notched up 73 hit-outs to Brisbane's 29.
It was a very different story for the Hawks, however, who failed to have
a winner anywhere on the ground and have now started their title defence
0-2.
Panned last week after they failed to kick a goal in the second and
third quarters in their opening round loss to St Kilda, Sydney dominated
the Hawks after quarter time.
Trailing by two goals after the first period, the Swans kicked five
goals in the second quarter and then piled on eight in the third term to
open up a 21-point lead at three quarter-time.
Sydney then cruised home in the final quarter in front of 33,116 fans
that indicates the Bloods are far from a spent force in 2009. |

Report:
Brett Kirk
(Syd) charged with recklessly making contact with umpire Mathew
James in Q2. The MRP referred the matter directly to the Tribunal
for its determination and the player could not accept an early plea
offer.
At the Tribunal on Tuesday night it was revealed at the start of his
hearing that the MRP had recommended that his penalty should be 125
demerit points a one-match suspension and a $1950 fine.
Kirk's guilty plea reduced the sanction by 25 per cent to 93.75 points,
just under the 100 threshold for a one-game ban, and a $1950 fine. |
Essendon overcame a
lacklustre Fremantle to register its first win of the season by 38
points at Docklands on Sunday afternoon. The roof was closed as the
Bombers led from start to finish. They had 12 separate goalkickers, but
skipper Matthew Lloyd again failed to bother the scorer (other
than three meagre behinds) while Scott Lucas contributed just one
major.
Jason Phelan in his review for the AFL webpage noted that
Jason Winderlich was impressive for Essendon with two goals and 27
possessions, with Jobe Watson (30) and Dustin Fletcher
(28) also prominent.
David Zaharakis and Irishman Michael Quinn didn't look out
of place in their AFL debuts and returned 21 and 20-disposal
performances respectively.
It was difficult to pick out clear winners for Fremantle, but Paul
Hasleby continued his encouraging return from knee surgery with 24
possessions, while Rhys Palmer chimed in with 21 touches and two
goals.
Aaron Sandilands had the better of David Hille with 36
hit-outs, but the Bomber onballers were awake to his dominance and were
often the recipients of his taps.
Michael Gleeson wrote in his summary in The Age: This was
a game of two sides that do not look likely to be hitting September.
That said, Essendon was patently the better side on the day and Freo
looked as it so often does, absolutely Pavlich-focused. The big talking
point for the Dons, barely overshadowed by winning, was the poor form of
their two key forwards, Lloyd and Lucas. |

Reports:

from 12 months meant McPhee's two-game penalty remains, even with an
early plea. Essendon sought adjudication of the Tribunal. McPhee's case
was positively argued and his penalty was downgraded to a one-match
suspension.
Angus Monfries (Ess) charged with a first offence of making
negligent contact with umpire Michael Avon in Q1. Monfries with
an early plea accepted guilt and the MRP penalty of fine of $1950. |
The Western Bulldogs held on
for a thrilling 15 point win over a gutsy North Melbourne in a
hard-hitting, wet weather grind on Sunday afternoon at the MCG where it
entertained a crowd of 34,466.
Scott Gullan reported in Melbourne's Herald Sun: Pouring
rain throughout most of the first half made precise skills difficult,
turning the match into an entertaining slog in which every goals became
vital.
The 'Roos trailed by as much as 28 points 18 minutes into the third
quarter, but charged to within two points at the same stage of the final
term, setting the scene for a tense finish.
But the Dogs kicked the final two goals of the match to hold on, both
set up by free kicks in the middle of the ground.
The first came when North captain Brent Harvey was penalised for
a throw in midfield, with the Bulldogs sending the ball into attack for
half-forward Josh Hill to slot home a major.
At the resulting centre contest, another 'Roos' veteran Adam Simpson
was caught holding the ball by Callan Ward, with Ward delivering
the ball to Hill, who set up Lindsay Gilbee for the sealer.
Hill finished with three goals, all coming in the second half, while
Bulldogs skipper Brad Johnson also booted three, which all came
before halftime.
Midfielders Ryan Griffen, Matthew Boyd and Daniel Cross
starred for the Bulldogs, while Brian Lake was superb in defence,
taking 18 marks and newcomer Liam Picken did an excellent tagging
job on Harvey.
For North, Simpson was their prime mover in the midfield, while Leigh
Harding, Daniel Pratt and Andrew Swallow also fought
hard and Wells was very dangerous in attack. |

Port Adelaide forward
Justin Westhoff is set to spend the next six weeks on the sidelines
after breaking his left foot in the Power's 50-point AFL loss to West
Coast at Subiaco Oval on Sunday afternoon which started in fine, clear
and sunny conditions for the 37,826 who attended.
Nathan Schmook reported for the AFL webpage: Westhoff, who booted
two goals for the match, limped off in the opening minute of the second
half, all-but ending any hopes of a Power comeback after the Eagles took
a commanding 33-point lead into the long break.
Port Adelaide's day never improved after kicking a wayward 1.6 in the
opening term and coach Mark Williams was a frustrated man after
the match.
The visitors boasted superior midfield depth by reputation, but none of
their stars fired. It was West Coast that dominated the middle of the
ground chiefly through the superb Adam Selwood (33 possessions
and eight clearances), Daniel Kerr (28 possessions and four
goals) and Matt Rosa (26).
Elsewhere, Darren Glass led a ruthless backline, the forwards
kicked straight, and a midfield zone developed over the summer had the
Power tangling themselves in knots.
David Wirrpanda was a late withdrawal for West Coast, but
Shannon Hurn (24 possessions) stepped into an attacking role in the
Eagles backline, while rookie elevation Ryan Davis came into the
side seamlessly for Wirrpanda.
For the Power, Daniel Motlop (four goals) was brilliant at times,
but it was hard to pick a single winner. Chad Cornes (200 games),
Shaun Burgoyne (150), Brett Ebert (100) and Toby
Thurstans (100) would have felt let down on their milestone days.
