Adelaide v Melbourne

How it was won and lost

It's very early, but Melbourne did enough against Adelaide in the first of the triple header last night to continue the belief it is on the right road. The Demons' 10 point win had its expected flaws this time of the year,replica clover necklace van cleef, but the spasms of flair and quality play was most encouraging. Adelaide started where it left off last season paying the penalty for appalling kicking for goal. The Crows are celebrating their 20th year in the AFL and it s like nothing has changed problems moving forward, and when the breaks came most times chances went begging.

While these games are about trying out the newcomers, it was largely Melbourne's experienced campaigners, especially Aaron Davey, Mark Jamar, Colin Garland, new captain Brad Green and Colin Sylvia who led the way. And continuing the progress of recent years, the relatively young players, which included Jack Grimes and Jack Trengove,van cleef necklaces, shone. However, beyond the new conditions the last touch, out of bounds rule even confused the umpires was the anticipation of the new kids on the block. Stefan Martin showed fine glimpses of his 2009 form. The big man worked hard, and showed that he can be a key position player or a great back up to Jamar. Jamar was dominant in the first half, starting in the ruck,fake van cleef necklaces, taking two strong marks on the last line of defence, and finishing in the forward lines. There was also much to like about the forward line, particularly Liam Jurrah, who did well early, and was constructive around the ball. Jurrah took the mark of the year when he was here last year, and he showed he can continue to be a key factor up forward. Late in the first half he took a strong mark from behind Phil Davis and Richard Tambling. It was far from spectacular, but his perfect timing was noteworthy. Addam Maric, who was one of many in this game desperate to impress after a disappointing 2010, stood out in the forward lines. Maric kicked two goals, the first courtesy of the new out of bounds rule. A stronger Jack Watts provided Melbourne with a good target, and worked hard. James Strauss, who had limited opportunities last year because of injuries, did well when he came off the bench.

Michael Evans (rookie draft/Claremont/Marist juniors): After beginning on the bench, put in an impressive performance. He didn't start well,replica van cleef and arpels butterfly necklace, kicking into the man in defence, but recovered. Worked hard and

found spaces. A likely type.

Jeremy Howe (Hobart/Dodges Ferry): Spent most of the game on the bench, so hard to judge.

Daniel Nicholson (rookie draft/University Blues/East Ballarat): Was the sub and did not get a run.

Adelaide wasted opportunities as a team, but it was young Shaun McKernan who made the most of his against Melbourne. After showing encouraging signs in 2009 he didn't get an AFL game last season despite sound performances in the local league, but last night did well to kick two secondhalf goals. He missed a "sitter", but that was part of Adelaide's game. The Crows tried their new Richmond recruit Richard Tambling at half back, and while his work rate was high he generally struggled against taller opponents. Andy Otten, who missed last year with a knee injury, was tried midfield and was very good with 12 disposals. Carlton recruit Sam Jacobs did a reasonable job in ruck, and can prove himself a valuable asset. Nathan van Berlo did well in his first game as captain.
