Round Highlights
- Richmond (17.8.110) def Carlton (11.13.79)
Chris Judd played his first regular
season game for Carlton but the new captain's 22 possessions weren't
enough as at the other end Richo kicked 5 goals and the Tigers
recorded their first win of the year.
- Geelong (15.15.105) def Port Adelaide (14.12.96)
- Collingwood (16.15.111) def Fremantle (13.7.85)
Six goals from Anthony Rocca was enough to get Collingwood across
the line against the Dockers.
- St Kilda (6.15.51) def Sydney (6.13.49)
Another struggle between these two teams, this time full of pressure,
flooding, turnovers and errors, resulted in a low scoring arm-wrestle. St
Kilda lead throughout and hung on for a narrow win.
- West Coast Eagles (14.8.92) def Brisbane Lions (11.10.76)
Although Jonathan Brown kicked six goals it wasn't enough to come
back against the Eagles who hung on for the win. West Coast played
their first game in a long time without both Chris Judd and Ben
Cousins.
- Western Bulldogs (19.12.126) def Adelaide (18.15.123)
Brad Johnson, playing in his 300th match, kicked the last 3 goals
to lead the Bulldogs from behind and win the game.
- Hawthorn (23.16.154) def (6.14.50)
More a training drill for Buddy Franklin than a real match, Melbourne
were pathetic kicking only one goal in the first half. Franklin
finished with six and spent most of the game practising his celebrations
after scoring goals.
- Essendon (19.8.122) def Kangaroos (9.13.67)
A game lauded for it's "pace" saw both teams run at each other
flat out with the young Bombers playing on bodly and prevailing.
Scott Lucas went down in the first quarter with a knee injury
and is expected to mis 12 weeks.
