Round 2 Results
This is ASP, Results for Round 2 went like this,
The Gabba played home to an absolute nail-biter involving the Lions of Brisbane and the Pies of Collingwood. The Lions snuck over the line by a staggering two points. Collingwood fought hard all night, being in front for portions of the game. While the Pies kept it tight the Lions fell over the line with just seconds to play.
Brisbane 13.18 (96) Collingwood 13.16 (94) Gabba
Melbourne were given a crash course in the harsh realities of AFL season, the 2008 season is looking very long for every single Demons fan. Taking nothing away from the Bulldogs outstanding defence and stream-lining play, the Dees were truly atrocious.
Melbourne 9.12 (66) Western Bulldogs 24.17 (161) MCG
Cousins, Judd, no longer and didn’t the Coast feel it. Just two years since there premiership glory, the harsh reality is a pill very hard to swallow for all the passionate followers of this great club, that will certainly bounce back. As for the game, we saw a new brand of forward line with the smalls dominating and running rampant over the ravished Eagles defence.
Adelaide 21.7 (133) West Coast 8.9 (57) AAMI Stadium
St Kilda flexed there muscle in this one, the return of Fraser Gehrig was heralded by all, bar of course those of the navy blue. The Saints put in a quality performace at the Dome, were we saw a new Carlton come out to play, a true credit to both teams.
St Kilda 19.11 (125) Carlton 12.13 (85) Telstra Dome
Home or away the Dockers continue to be the basket case of the League. On the other side of the fence, the Hawks of yesteryear are shining through as we see yet another rampaging Number 23 dominating the forward line for the Brown and Yellow
Fremantle 14.13 (97) Hawthorn 16.16 (112) Subiaco
The Power continue to slip from their title as the Runner-Up of 07. Play in the Harbor city was all one-directional as the Swans showed skill, yet a different brand to that, that brought them the flag of 05. The Swans were in devastating form all day, showing the attacking flair that they do have.
Sydney 22.14 (146) Port Adelaide 11.12 (78) SCG
Games rarely get more one-sided than this one. The reigning premiers left the skill in third gear and still ran away by 99 points. Poor is one of hundreds that could fairly describe the Bombers performance. Given the Bronx treatment all day Adam McPhee found no new friends in the folk wearing his colours on the other side of the fence.
Geelong 22.18 (150) Essendon 6.15 (51) Telstra Dome
The North that made it deep into the finals last year were up and about once again. The Skill, and talent of the whole team working together shone through as the Tigers, helpless to the continuos onslaught, crumbled in the pressure. Richmond 13.8 (86) North Melbourne 20.7 (127) MCG
