Round 1 Results
Round One saw blowout victories and humiliating victories.
Carlton was especially disappointing against Richmond. Chris Judd had a terribly debut as captain, with the Tigers putting in a great performance. Very lucky win for the Tigers, and easy too. CAR 11.13 (79) RIC 17.7 (109)
Geelong showed their skills that one them last years premiership have gone no where, with an emphatic victory over the Power. Despite having the four points in hand, the Cats did fade causing coach Mark Thompson to take each player aside, and forcing them to explain their reason for the fade. Perfection is still what they are striving for. GEE 15.15 (105) PA 14.12 (96)
Collingwood came out on top with a hard fought contest, that saw Fremantle stay close all day. Even with the victory, injuries have left a bitter taste. Sean Rusling has done his shoulder for the third time and puts his season and carrer in doubt. COL 16.15 (111) FRE 13.7 (85)
West Coast put in a team performance, while Brisbane put in the Jonathon Brown Show. The big man down forward tried to keep them in the game all day, but was overwhelmed in the end. West Coast will be looking for a season with consistency. The Lions are looking down the barrel of a tough season. WCE 14.8 (92) BL 11.10 (76)
Games between Sydney and St Kilda are always tough scrappy affairs, but this match took that exact phrase to a new level - right down. It’s very to judge St Kilda’s style on such a game, with Sydneys shut down tactics rubbing off on the Saints. This could well be the last nail for the game plan that one them the 2005 Premiership. STK 6.15 (51) SYD 6.13 (49)
As expected, this one between Footscray and Adelaide was close all day. Yet surprisingly free-flowing, the Crows scouting for fast-legs showed. With plays never before associated with the boys of the South state. Brad brought it home in his 300th, with the rest of the team supporting him superbly. WBD 19.12 (126) ADE 18.15 (123)
The Late game at the ‘G between Hawthorn and Melbourne, couldn’t of been any later for the Dees. In there 150th year, such a performance hopefully isn’t an indication for future performances.104 point loss to Hawthorn, enough said. HAW 23.16 (154) MEL 6.14 (50)
Easter Monday was a day for the see-saw. North got out to a quick lead in the first, and you could already hear the sounds of bombers calling for Knights’ head. All was aliviated though, as the Dons reeled it back in, and then dished it out. A drubbing is what it turned into, while Scott Lucas’ leg was left in this same condition, half a season gone right there. KAN 9.13 (67) ESS 19.8 (122)
