St Kilda qualified first for the pre-season cup grand final after a hard-fought 3-point win ver Essenton at
Telstra Dome on Friday night. The Saints had got off to the better start against an inaccurate Bomber
lineup, but a super-goal to David Hille early in the second term got the Bombers back into the contest.
The fortunes of both sides fluctuated wildly throughout the night, with both sides on occasions
threatening to get on top only for the other side to work their way back into the contest. Scores were
level at the last change; and with just seconds left on the clock Essendon were holding a 3-point
advantage. But, in the face of the St Kilda goal, Bomber defender Angus Monfries was penalised for
holding the ball; giving St Kilda's David Armytage the easiest of shots to give the Saints the lead at the
final siren.
The Saints will play Adelaide in the final, after the Crows overcame a determined Hawthorn side to
progress with a 23-point win at AAMI Stadium. Scores were level at the long break, but the Hawks'
inability to score a goal during the third term was to cost them any realistic prospect of taking out the
match. Electrifying Adelaide forward Brett Burton, with 3 goals, signalled to the football world his
determination to make an impression in 2008 and was well supported around the ground by a Crows'
lineup that has easily accounted for all comers to qualify for home ground advantage for next week's
final.
In other trial matches, Geelong were 40 points too good for Brisbane, while Richmond hit some
pre-season form with a 25-point win over Sydney in Narrandera. The Western Bulldogs recorded a
40-point win over Melbourne in Bendigo, in a match that was concluded early after a power failure saw
the lights go out in the final term. West Coast were 41 points too good for Carlton, while the Kangaroos
accounted for Fremantle by 37 points and Port Adelaide continued Collingwood's nightmare
pre-season with a 35-point victory.
