l
50th BROCK McLEAN (Melbourne) 2004-07 ...
THE MATCH
Melbourne won through
for its first premiership points of the season when it defeated Adelaide
by 17 points on Saturday afternoon in fine weather at the MCG. Winless
in nine matches, the Demons looked nothing like wooden spoon contenders
for three quarters as they overpowers the Crows with solid defence,
fierce tackling and direct football.
It was closer for comfort than the Demons would have like, however, as
they led by seven goals at three-quarter time, and got the shudders
after conceding the first four goals of the final term.
Angus Morgan in his review for Sportal noted: There was
nothing in the contest early with Adelaide holding a four-point lead at
the first change. Both midfields were free to do as they pleased and the
likes of Brad Green and Cameron Bruce for Melbourne and
Adelaide's Tyson Edwards and Chris Knights got heaps of
the ball early. The Demons took control of the match in the second term,
kicking eight goals to Adelaide's one – including seven unanswered
goals.
Melbourne extended their margin to 44 points by the final break after a
low-scoring term, before Adelaide stormed back with four successive
goals to start the last quarter. But, a long bomb from David Neitz
stopped the rot and the Demons rallied to win.
Green won b-o-g with 37 touches and 18 marks. The Demons spread their
goalkicking among eight players, but more importantly, their forwards
were able to keep the ball inside 50 and create scoring opportunities.
Adelaide skipper Mark Ricciuto played his first match in more
than nine months after illness and injury problems, kicking two goals
MELBOURNE 13.11-89 (Neitz 3, Jones 2, Robertson 2, Bate 2)
best, Green, Bruce, Bell, ADELAIDE 10.12-72 (Porplyzia 2,
Ricciuto 2, Stevens 2) best, Edwards, Rutten, Goodwin.
Saturday at MCG: 23,657.
