2007 Round 1 Post-game Articles
It took just four minutes into the new AFL season for football to be posed with one mighty question: Where is this game going? An unsuspecting Luke Ball was taken out by Matthew Whelan with a ferocious bump, down the middle, arm tucked to the body. On face value, it was clean, perfectly timed and savage in power. For one fan, sitting 10 rows back in the Southern Stand, it was frightening enough just to hear the whack of body on body. The issue, however, is Whelan's momentum meant that after he collected Ball, his head crashed into Ball's head which not only opened up Ball's forehead but left the Saints skipper horribly dazed and out of action for all of the first quarter of St Kilda's 31-point win over Melbourne.  The Article Mark Robinson/HeraldSun/31Mar07
Saints overrun Dees It is only one match into the season but St Kilda already shows the Ross Lyon touch as it overcame a slow start to successfully mark the start of its new era with a workmanlike 31-point victory over a largely insipid Melbourne at the MCG on Friday night. Showing the toughness their coach displayed during his playing career, the Saints' game plan bore an uncanny resemblance to that of Lyon's last employer Sydney, their preparedness to shut the game down evident during the 13.15 (93) to 9.8 (62) victory. Despite missing important cogs Nick Riewoldt and Max Hudghton, just to name a couple, and with Lenny Hayes and Matt Maguire both returning from long-term injuries, the Saints, apart from a scratchy first term, defied the predictions of experts who thought they would prove vulnerable in the early rounds due to a lack of conditioning. The Article Andrew Wu/Sportal/30Mar07 Lyon praises troops Andrew Wu/Sportal/31Mar07 Daniher livid Andrew Wu/Sportal/31Mar07 Melbourne v St Kilda snippets Sportal/31Mar07 Saints open season with win over Demons The Saints restricted the Demons to a single behind in the third term, while kicking 4.5 themselves, before closing out the encounter in the final quarter despite a brief comeback from the home side. Fraser Gehrig made an enterprising start to the season to open his account with four majors while team-mate Steven Baker and Justin Koschitzke both managed doubles. Leigh Montagna kept himself busy with 24 touches to lead St Kilda's possession list ahead of Aaron Fiora and Brendon Goddard, who managed 22 each. David Neitz and Russell Robertson were the only Demons to register multiples goals, both kicking three six-pointers. St Kilda have less than a week before their next clash with Brisbane at the Gabba on Thursday evening, while the Demons face Hawthorn in the second round on Easter Monday at the MCG. The Article ABCSport/30Mar07
. . . Fiora knew he was on borrowed time but his worst fears were allayed when Ross Lyon, upon entering Moorabbin, immediately informed him that he was part of the new coach's plans for the future. "He's been a very good support to me. I thought, and at the end of last year, I could have been out of here, he wanted to keep me as soon as he came in," Fiora told Sportal. "I thought I was gone and he wanted to keep me so he's shown a lot of faith in me." And on Friday night, Fiora began the process of rewarding that faith, restricting damaging Demons midfielder Brad Green to 18 disposals while collecting 22 himself. "Last year in the final he had 29 touches and I was there not to let him get 29," Fiora said. "Not sure how many he got. Just in the last quarter he got away from me there but I probably got away from him a bit too." That a player like Fiora - whose natural ability has never been doubted, unlike his hardness which was cruelly examined after he ducked his head in a marking contest last year against Adelaide - is now being used as a run-with midfielder is a tribute to how hard he has worked since being given the green light by Lyon. The Article Andrew Wu/Sportal/03Apr07 Sizzling Saints beat Demons by 31 points . . . Melbourne looked ready to add to those doubts when they started the stronger to take an eight-point lead into the first change. But while Ball was able to return to the game in the second term with his head wrapped in a bandage, Whelan was forced to stay on the bench for the night. Neitz kicked the opening goal of the season, seven minutes into the game. But after Demons ruckman Jeff White opened the second term with his 100th AFL goal in his 200th match, extending the lead to 14 points, the Saints took control. They kicked the next five goals, with Robertson's freakish snap reducing the margin to 10 points at the main break. St Kilda kicked 4.5 to two behinds in the third term and its inaccuracy was the only reason Melbourne was barely in the match at the last break, trailing by 37 points. Melbourne was too reliant on handball in the first three quarters, but was more direct in the last quarter and pulled to within four goals before St Kilda closed out the game. The Article AFL/saints.com.au
Lyon opens senior coaching career with win . . . Melbourne gave the Saints a scare in the last quarter, outscoring them by three goals to two, but St Kilda steadied to hold off the late challenge. Onballer Leigh Montagna had 24 possessions for the Saints and Fraser Gehrig kicked four goals in an outstanding performance at centre half-forward, while Russell Robertson and David Neitz kicked three apiece for the Demons. Robertson also posted an early contender for the goal of the year - late in the second term, he grabbed the ball out of the air while lying flat on his back and slotted it through. The Demons lost defender Matthew Whelan early in the game after his hard shepherd on Luke Ball, while midfielder Brock McLean was on crutches after hurting his lower leg just before half-time. The Article TheAgeRealFooty/30Mar07 Saints give Lyon opening win AAP/HeraldSun/30Mar07 Injury Reports after R1 Luke Ball (St Kilda) face Clash of heads when bumped by Whelan. Cuts to face required 11 stitches. Returned to play. Also concussed. Should be OK for Thursday night but will probably wear a helmet to protest the face wound. Possible Return this week: Nick Riewoldt All Clubs RealFooty/02Apr07
St Kilda onballer Lenny Hayes says he is concerned co-captain Luke Ball has become a target for opposition sides trying to intimidate the Saints. Ball is likely to be involved in a test case for the AFL's crackdown on head-high contact this week after being poleaxed by Matthew Whelan in a first-quarter shepherd. There were further concerns for Ball yesterday after he was forced to cut short a promotional appearance. He had up to 14 stitches in his forehead and yesterday had bruising that extended behind his ear. Ball may play in a helmet in coming games, but is expected to be tested this week to ensure he has recovered from his concussion. St Kilda denied reports that he had fainted during yesterday's promotion but he did cancel a scheduled TV appearance on Before The Game. The Article Jon Ralph/HeraldSun/01Apr07 Whelan must answer case Former AFL match review chairman Peter Schwab says Melbourne's Matthew Whelan has a case to a answer for his shepherd on St Kilda's Luke Ball on Friday night. While Schwab, who recently quit the job to head AFL Victoria, believes Whelan is in trouble, his opinion isn't necessarily shared by the umpires who officiated in the game. It's understood the umpires don't believe Whelan's shepherd, which resulted in a clash of heads that left Ball bloodied and with 13 stitches in a gash above his eye, was illegal. Schwab was commenting on the game for 774 ABC on Friday night and was quizzed about the incident at halftime. He said several things had to be taken into account when considering Whelan's actions, including whether he had an alternative and if he should have shepherded in that manner. The Article Daryl Timms/HeraldSun/02Apr07 Target worry on Ball St Kilda onballer Lenny Hayes says he is concerned co-captain Luke Ball has become a target for opposition sides trying to intimidate the Saints. Ball is likely to be involved in a test case for the AFL's crackdown on head-high contact this week after being poleaxed by Matthew Whelan in a first-quarter shepherd. There were further concerns for Ball yesterday after he was forced to cut short a promotional appearance. He had up to 14 stitches in his forehead and yesterday had bruising that extended behind his ear. Ball may play in a helmet in coming games, but is expected to be tested this week to ensure he has recovered from his concussion. St Kilda denied reports that he had fainted during yesterday's promotion but he did cancel a scheduled TV appearance on Before The Game. The Article Jon Ralph/HeraldSun/01Apr07 Carey talks up Saints . . . I'm not writing off any Melbourne teams which might be underdogs. St Kilda proved on Friday night it is not going to be an easybeat. Importantly, the Saints do not need all their superstars playing to be dangerous. I can tell you St Kilda will be a side to be reckoned with this year. You have to say new coach Ross Lyon has had an immediate impact. Not only him but also the guys under him. The Saints won just one practice match and that was against the Kangaroos, but on Friday there was signs of a growing maturity. They are a different side this time around. Power quick to rise Wayne Carey/AdelaideAdvertiser/02Apr07 Maguire caps speedy comeback As football injuries go, it was one of the more gruesome in recent years. The sight of Matt Maguire's leg snapping against West Coast last year was enough to turn most stomachs. Which makes it all the more amazing that the man they call 'Goose' could be back for the first game of 2007. Speaking after the Saints' 31-point victory over Melbourne at the MCG on Friday night, Maguire said he had originally banked on a mid-season return but his rehab went better than expected. "Up until Christmas I thought round one was out of the question but I came back and started running and since then everything has gone to plan," he said. "The doctors and physios have been fantastic for me and the leg is cherry ripe." Maguire played all but a few minutes of the win over Melbourne, winning his duel with Melbourne forward Brad Miller. The Article Luke Holmesby/saints.com.au/31Mar07 Focused Clarke back on track Lenny Hayes got through St Kilda's victory over Melbourne on Friday night, Matt Maguire made it, and Justin Koschitzke found no new and strange ways to hurt himself. But don't forget Xavier Clarke. The St Kilda player was perhaps not as stricken as the above names last year. But Clarke's 13 games were still surrounded by hamstring and hip injuries and soft tissue problems that have dogged more than one of his five seasons. The 23-year-old has begun to worry in the past few years about how far he was falling behind Luke Ball, Maguire and Nick Dal Santo, who were drafted in the same year. He has started to dwell, too, on the things he has missed out on. But after a chat with new coach Ross Lyon at the start of pre-season training, Clarke decided there was more he could do to prevent bad luck. He worked harder to build a stronger fitness base, spending more time on bikes and in the pool. He rested more than he had, and tried to better understand the role he could play for his team. The Article Emma Quayle/TheAgeRealFooty/01Apr07 Riewoldt set for Brisbane clash St Kilda co-captain Nick Riewoldt is aiming to make his comeback against the Brisbane Lions on Thursday. Riewoldt, who has been troubled for almost two months with a hamstring strain, has declared he is ready to play. "I was really close for this game," he said at Seven's footy launch on Friday night. "We decided to give it another week. I'm confident I'll play." The Article Jon Ralph/HeraldSun/01Apr07 St Kilda well coached: Grant Thomas Ten minutes into Ross Lyon's first clash as St Kilda coach and new SEN commentator Grant Thomas was accurately summing up the state of play. The Demons were swarming all over a directionless St Kilda and had forward targets hitting their straps. Fraser Gehrig had all but pulled out of a clash with Brock McLean. "Not hard enough, nowhere near hard enough," Thomas said. "Fraser, I don't know what he was going for, but it wasn't what was required." Three quarters later Gehrig was best on ground, McLean was hobbling around on crutches, the Demons' collective pants had been pulled down and the Saints faithful were declaring Lyon a master coach. St Kilda, according to the magnanimous Thomas, were accountable, well-drilled and well-coached. The Article Jackie Epstein/HeraldSun/01Apr07 New coach happy with 'team effort' . . . "It is nice to get it out of the way to be honest and pleasing to get a win, I won't deny that," Lyon said. "It gives you a bit of confidence going forward that you are on the right track and that the players are willing to listen and apply certain things. That's what gives you confidence more than the result even though it was obviously good. Look, it's Round 1, it's a marathon and plenty of teams win Round 1 and then go on and do nothing."

Luke Ball laceration update 'saintDal' saintsational.com Thoughts on the game'skeptic' et al saintsational.com Lyon already plotting Lions raid . . . "We have a really short turnaround. We have Brisbane on Thursday night (at the Gabba), they're in really good form and they're well-conditioned. And as everyone spoke about, we had a couple of our guys going in were a little bit underdone and (we had) a few cramps, so it's critical really from now that they're preparing for Brisbane. But we take the win and it gives us a little bit of momentum." Referring to the tandem role that Fraser Gehrig and Justin Koschitzke played to great effect as key forwards, Lyon said he wanted to give them as much freedom as possible. The Article AAP/saints.com.au/30Mar07 Hell-bent Saints dismantle Demons Old poker-face Ross Lyon stared down the barrel of the camera this week and declared his Saints wouldn't really kick into gear until Round 6 . . . Accountable and committed, the Saints shut out Aaron Davey, Cameron Bruce and Travis Johnstone, and set about grinding their way back into the contest. Their home ground may have been renamed the decidedly feminine Linen House Oval, but the Saints played like a team sleeping on a bed of nails. And Melbourne, supposedly a slick top-four hopeful, buckled. From the moment White's early second goal sailed through, St Kilda kicked 9.5 to 1.2 up until three-quarter time. That one goal to the Demons was a miracle too, with Russell Robertson somehow throwing ball on boot when he was flat on his back near the goalsquare. The Saints hit the front for the first time when McQualter wobbled a goal through from 40m 11 minutes into the second. The Article Mark Stevens/HeraldSun/31Mar07
New-look Saints impress . . . If statistics mean anything, the Saints had 14 players registering between 10 and 17 kicks. Xavier Clarke played possibly the best game of his career and showed the potential many believe has been a long time coming. Aaron Fiora also had a solid game, while Nick Dal Santo, Robert Harvey, Lenny Hayes and Fraser Gehrig also contributed well. Melbourne started the better of the sides, getting off to a two-goal lead, courtesy of goals to David Neitz and Brad Green and the Saints hitting the post three times in a row. It looked like the Demons had "come to play" but the illusion soon wore off. In the early stages, St Kilda appeared untidy and tentative, with even hard nut Gehrig seeming to shirk a mid-air contest with the much smaller Brock McLean, whose turnover pass found Jeff White, who in turn hit Green on the lead for a set-shot goal. The Article TheAgeRealFooty/31Mar07
Lyon-hearted Saints prevail To see it live was just a blur. Running hard in one direction, St Kilda's Luke Ball with eyes only for Melbourne's Nathan Jones, the man with the ball. Closing with blinding speed in the other direction, Jones' team-mate Matthew Whelan. When Luke met Matthew, it was a study for all disciples of the brutal essence of this game. The sound of their collision could be heard high in the Great Southern Stand. The consequences were immediately apparent; Ball crumpled to the MCG turf, Whelan staggering away from the wreckage. The game was just five minutes old. Whelan went straight to the bench. Ball managed to stand doubled over, trainers working to revive him on the spot. Despite their best efforts, the St Kilda captain could only trudge on wobbly legs towards the boundary line. As he got closer to the interchange, you could see the blood seeping from his forehead and surmise what had happened. A savage clash of heads to begin a new football season. The Article Chip Le Grand/TheAustralian/31Mar07 Leg fractures halt Maguire St Kilda defender Matt Maguire is expected to miss four to six games with a stress fracture in his left foot. Maguire complained of soreness and swelling in his foot after Friday night's game against Melbourne at the MCG. A scan revealed a stress-related fracture to the third metatarsal in his left foot. Maguire will be reviewed by a foot and ankle specialist today to decide whether to rest the injury or if surgery is required. The Article Jake Niall/TheAgeRealFooty/03Apr07 St Kilda sure they didn't rush Maguire AAP/SydneyMorningHerald/03Apr07
Veteran ruckman Matthew Clarke - unceremoniously cut by the Crows at the end of last season - not only shone in his first outing for St Kilda against Melbourne on Friday night, he had more disposals in one game than he has had for four years. Clarke's 15 possessions (five kicks, 10 handballs) were his most in one match since he managed 15 for Adelaide against the Western Bulldogs in round nine, 2003. In his seven years with the Crows, Clarke, while an outstanding tap ruckman, averaged just eight disposals a game. Significantly, Clarke matched Demon Jeff White when it came to winning the ball - something he couldn't do at Adelaide. The Article AdelaideAdvertiser/03Mar07 More stress for Maguire St Kilda defender Matt Maguire is expected to miss four to six games with a stress fracture in his left foot. Maguire complained of soreness and swelling in his foot after Friday night's game against Melbourne at the MCG . . . St Kilda club doctor Ian Stone said last night it was wrong to assume that Maguire had made his comeback too quickly, with specialists having given him the all-clear. He said Maguire had been monitored during the pre-season and while there was an acknowledged increase in stress injuries after a long layoff, the defender had no problems leading into the game. The Article Daryl Timms/HeraldSun/03Apr07 Injury setback for Maguire The Club has announced that Saints defender Matt Maguire has suffered a stress related fracture to the third metatarsal in his left foot. He will be reviewed by a specialist on Tuesday, 3rd April and further details will be released as soon as the Club's medical staff has assessed this information. The Article saints.com.au/02Apr07 Maguire Injured - Stress Fracture in Foot 'mad saint guy' et al saintsational.com Maguire faces six weeks on sidelines Robert Grant/AAP/saints.com.au/03Apr07 Riewoldt runs out of time . . . St Kilda decided to adopt a cautious approach with the star forward, who first hurt the hamstring at training on January 31. Riewoldt completed yesterday's training session with his teammates at Moorabbin and then did sprint work. Defender Max Hudghton (groin) is expected to come under strong consideration after training impressively. West Coast recruit Michael Gardiner will spend another week in the VFL with Casey Scorpions. Co-captain Luke Ball, who received 13 stitches in a gash above his left eye after a collision with Melbourne's Matthew Whelan, could have a new look against the Lions. The Article Daryl Timms/HeraldSun/04Apr07 Riewoldt on hold again Martin Boulton/TheAgeRealFooty/04Apr07 AFL Injury List Round 2 HeraldSun Roe injury chaos . . . Roe must pass a fitness test on an injured hamstring at training today to be considered for the clash against St Kilda. Nigel Lappin and Robert Copeland, who had corks in the round 1 victory over the Hawks, will also be tested but the chances of both playing have improved with each day. Some weeks in football, the sides and the match-ups pick themselves, but this clash is definitely not one of them. The Lions need to know if star Saint Nick Riewoldt and ever-reliable defender Max Hudghton will make their first appearances for the year. If Roe misses and Riewoldt plays, the Lions will struggle to contain a Saints forward line that also includes Fraser Gehrig and Justin Koschitzke. Daniel Merrett is the strongest of the Lions defenders and is already locked in for the job on man-mountain Gehrig. The Article Andrew Hamilton/CourierMail/04Apr07 Maguire faces six weeks on sidelines . . . "I'm obviously devastated, but it's just another setback," said Maguire, who is now on crutches. "I've just got to move on from here. But this is a completely different injury to my broken leg. This is in the foot and not related to the leg." St Kilda doctor Ian Stone said Maguire would have to wear a special boot and would be on crutches for several weeks before returning gradually to training. "The surgeon has suggested it can be managed conservatively so it doesn't need surgery, certainly not at this point," Stone said. "He's recommended that Matthew stay in what we call a Cam-walker, which is like a moon boot." The Article AAP/TheAge/03Apr07 Leg fractures halt Maguire Jake Niall/TheAgeRealFooty/03Apr07 St Kilda sure they didn't rush Maguire AAP/SydneyMorningHerald/03Apr07 Returning stars hurt . . . The Saints said on Monday that Maguire suffered a stress related fracture to the third metatarsal in his left foot and will visit a specialist on Tuesday. It is unknown how long Maguire will be out of action. It is the latest blow to the 22-year-old defender, who suffered a horrific leg injury in round 18 last year when he broke his tibia and fibula. He showed great determination to overcome compartment syndrome and eight operations to make his return in the Saints' round one win over Melbourne. The Article Sportal/02Apr07 Whelan/Ball tribunal outcome . . . While the AFL has pledged to crack down on head-high contact this season, the panel ruled that this head clash was accidental. "Whelan turned his body to shepherd his teammate, resulting in contact between Whelan's back and Ball's chest," the panel ruled. "The momentum of the contact results in an accidental head clash. Under the tribunal guidelines, as this was an accidental head clash, it was the view of the panel: the force was not excessive, given the short distance that Whelan moved; Ball was actively involved in the passage of play; Ball was in a position to protect himself; Whelan did not use either his shoulder or his elbow to make high contact; (and) Whelan did not leave the ground at any stage." The Article AAP/TheAge/02Apr07 Umps warn players who hang on AFL umpires' boss Jeff Gieschen has warned clubs that players are under close scrutiny for the latest phenomenon dubbed "ball security". The number of holding-the-ball decisions rose sharply in Round 1, with Gieschen confirming several players were penalised for making no attempt to dispose of the ball. Rather than risk a dangerous turnover with a quick handball or kick, players are holding the ball to their chest in the hope of a ball-up. If the umpire pays a free kick for holding the ball in an non-threatening position such as the wing, at least play is held up and his teammates can flood back. A free kick, and the ensuing delay, is seen as a better option than being opened up by a fast opposition breakaway. The Article Mark Stevens/HeraldSun/04Apr07 Bump set to stay The bump looks set to remain a prominent feature of the AFL after Melbourne's Matthew Whelan was cleared by the league's match review panel for his rugged shepherd on St Kilda's Luke Ball during Friday night's season opener at the MCG. The incident was widely seen as something of a test case amid fears that if Whelan was found guilty of a reportable offence for what appeared a hard but legitimate shepherd then it could spell the end of such collisions in the game. The Article Paul Gough/Sportal/02Apr07 Goals an issue Paul Gough/Sportal/02Apr07 Help the Saints kick a goal for the environment . . . Origin has partnered with the AFL to provide footy loving Australians with a simple way to help the environment and ultimately halt climate change. Over the next three years, Origin's AFL Green program will neutralise an estimated 120,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions generated by AFL House and AFL clubs throughout the NAB Cup and Toyota Premiership Season and Finals Series. St Kilda is leading the charge by being one of the first Clubs to declare involvement, with the aim of becoming the first sporting club in the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and become completely carbon-neutral. The Article saints.com.au/02Apr07 Of Saints and Pharoahs In the words of the great Tom Petty, the waiting is the hardest part. Ever since Saints fans were left to trudge dejectedly from the MCG last September to ponder another final quarter fade out at the hands of the Demons that ended our year, season 2007 couldn't come quickly enough. To steal another line from a rock classic, we had Friday night on our mind. It was the start of the AFL season. Summer had been something to endure while waited for this. Beating the Poms five-zip in the Ashes had eased the hunger pangs but by now we were ravenous. Time once again to eat, sleep and breathe footy! So much of Friday night had a strange sense of continuity with the last game we saw in 2006. The time and place was the same, the opponent as well. There was also so much that was very different. A new coach and a different playing strip, a tinge of anxiety that accompanies the unknown and a sense that maybe this time we really should expect the unexpected. The Article Francis Leach/saints.com.au/02Apr07 Saint cops another whack The new season was five minutes old on Friday night when a familiar cry rang out at the MCG. "Ball!" they called. Unfortunately, as is too often the case, it wasn't a demand for a free kick but an indication as to which St Kilda player had been poleaxed. Whatever the eventual judgement of Luke Ball's collision with Matthew Whelan, it was depressing to see the brilliant Saint get another serious injury. If this is where football courage leads, something is not quite right. Alternatively, if this is about a brave player being strategically and consistently targeted, it is seriously wrong. The third possibility is that Ball has an inordinate amount of bad luck, although it's hard to believe his tendency for head injuries is merely that. The Article Tim Lane/RealFooty/02Apr07 I'm Molly, what's your name again? It is exactly 172 days since St Kilda appointed Ross Lyon as its coach, a tenure that is now officially up and running following the Saints' stunning 31-point season-opening win over a highly fancied Melbourne at the MCG last Friday night. And nobody was happier to witness the victory than arguably its most famous fan, television music guru Ian "Molly" Meldrum, who got to see the match in true VIP style courtesy of Channel Seven, which hosted a glitzy MCG dinner to celebrate its return as an AFL broadcaster. Meldrum, you may remember, made headlines in this column last November when he revealed that when he learned of Lyon's appointment while in Egypt on assignment, he actually had to ring home and ask friends who Lyon was because he had genuinely never heard of him. Which was a shock in itself. And so is this: despite having got to know all of the Saints' coaches really well over the years in his unofficial ambassadorial role, not only is he still yet to meet Lyon but is reluctant to approach him because he still feels embarrassed about what he said at the time of his appointment. The Article Geoff McClure/TheAge/03Apr07 Free kicks up 40 per cent AFL umpires turned whistle happy in Round 1, paying 40 per cent more free kicks than last year's average. The free-kick count exploded to an average of 47 a game, up from 33.6 last season. It's the highest figure recorded since AFL statistician Champion Data started tracking free-kick figures in 1999. The round total of 376 frees obliterated the benchmark of 329 set in Round 3, 2003. And the contentious in-the-back interpretation accounted for much of the dramatic rise, with frees for the offence ballooning 68 per cent.
