The AFL News for Friday - Monday  14-17/8/1992.
-----------------------------------------------
 This weekend saw the completion of round 22. The major highlights of the round
were that Carlton thrashed Footscray, Collingwood scraped home against North,
and St.Kilda lost to Adelaide making it difficult for them to gain a finals
position. The scores and other details for the round 22 matches are:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

        West Coast  4.5  7.10  12.11  14.22 (106)

 West Coast didn't have an easy game against Fitzroy. For most of the first half
the Eagles were in control, but in the third quarter Fitzroy made a concerted
comeback to be only down by 2 points twice in the quarter. Unfortunately they
didn't make enough of their scoring opporunities and at 3/4 time they were down
by 23 points as opposed to 20 at 1/2 time. The last quarter saw the Eagles kick
the first two goals to give them a winning lead.

stage. AFter that the Tigers held the Hawks, but in the last quarter Dunstall
cut loose to kick 6 of Hawthorn's 10 goals.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Carlton    4.8  10.13  12.16  19.22 (136)
        Footscray  3.1   3. 3   7.10   7.12  (54)

 What a good game by the Blues. Footscray kicked with the wind in the first and
third quarters and kicked 7.8. Against the wind the Dogs were terrible kicking
0.4. That was the story of the game. Carlton kicked 13.11 with the wind and
6.11 without. That was the winning factor. Carlton by 82 points.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Geelong   5.6  9.7  18.10  23.13 (151)
        Brisbane  2.1  3.3   3. 4   9. 4  (58)

GEEL.: In: Wills, Neeld
      Out: Ablett (hamstring), Forssman (ribs)

BRIS.: In: White
      Out: Ashcroft (hamstring)

 In a very spiteful match that will see a number of Brisbane players cited on
video evidence, Geelong swept aside the Bears by 93 points. The telling quarter
was the third were Geelong kicked 9.3 to 0.1 for the Bears to open a 96 point
lead.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Collingwood   5.3  8.8  11.12  14.14 (98)

 Collingwood had a fright on Sunday. After playing over Notrth Melbourne for
most of the match, the Roos scored 7 goals to 3 in the last to almost defeat
the Magpies. North held the lead with 26 minutes gone, but a dubious free kick
to Borwn gave the Magpies a share of the lead. With 30 seconds to go, Rocca
of Collingwood scoed a goal on the run to give the Magpies a 6 point victory.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Melbourne  7.0  11.3  16.6  21.13 (139)
        Sydney     4.2   7.5   9.7  13.10  (88)

Goals: MELB.: Bennett 5, Lyon 4, Sullivan 4, Jakovich 3, Lovell 2
       SYD.: Minton-Connell 6, Strooper 2

Best: Yeats (M), B. Lovett (M), Minton-Connell (S)

Injuries: Schwarz (M) groin, T. Viney (M) cramp

Reports: Bennet (M) charging Kelly (S)

SYD.: In: Bayes
     Out: Gray

MELB.: In: Bennett, Cuthbertson
      Out: Goodwin (ribs), Mahoney

 Melbourne and Sydney played a good first quarter, but for the rest of the game
Melbourne always looked like they had something in reserve. Melbourne's multi-
faceted forward line was constructive whereas the Swans only had Minton-Connell
up forward. This typified the game. In the end the Demons pulled away to win by
51 points.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Adelaide  1.3  8.6  11.10  13.15 (93)
        St.Kilda  3.6  4.9  10.12  10.17 (77)

Goals: ADEL.: McGuiness 4, Lindner 2, D. Hart 2
       St.K.: Lockett 3, Loewe 2, Dwyer 2

Best: McGuiness (A), Harvey (St), Vidovic (St)

Injuries: --

Reports: --

ADEL.: In: Jameson
      Out: Modra

St.K.: In: Craven, Allen
      Out: Pekin, Kickett

 St.Kilda started the game well with the wind a their backs and kicking 3 goals
to 1 in the first 13 minutes. Unfortunately that was all for the quarter. When
Adelaide had the wind in the second, St.Kilda played Morris as a loose man in
defence. This move backfired and the Crows moved the ball well through Maynard
and Weidemann to score 7 goals to 1 in the second. In the third quarter, the
Saints scored the first 3 goals, but Adelaide through McGuiness kept the Saints
at bay with two good goals. In the last quarter the Saints missed 4 shots from
in front, and Adelaide coverted their chances. In the end Adelaide won by 16
points.

Some information on this weekend's round of matches. I have tabulated some
statistics about the teams playing each other this weekend at the ground and
since 1987. Hopefully it will help you chose your teams in your tipping
competition. The statistics are given as WIN-LOSS-DRAW (Draw is excluded if
there were none:

 Adelaide joined the competition in 1991.


 Brisbane is playing their last match at Carrara on the Gold Coast on Saturday
night. Brisbane has not enjoyed the greatest 6 seasons that they have been in
the competition, but a move to Brisbane proper to play at the 'Gabba should
bring them some better fortune. Brisbane's record up to round 22 of this season
has been:

               HOME         OVERALL       POSITION
     1987     3-8-0          6-16-0        13 / 14
     1988     4-6-0          7-15-0        13 / 14
     1989     6-5-0          8-14-0        10 / 14
     1990     4-7-0          4-18-0        14 / 14
     1991     1-7-0 *        3-19-0        15 / 15
     1992     2-7-1          3-17-1        15 / 15
            -------         -------
            20-40-1 (33.6%) 31-99-1 (24.0%)
            -------         -------

   *-Brisbane played 3 games at the Gabba in 1991 for a 1-2-0 record.


 For all those Victorians interested in the VFA, this is the ladder with one
round to play:

        Sandringham    60  148.9          R17 results
        Williamstown   48  131.2          -----------
        Prahran        44  137.4          Prahran d. Werribee
        Box Hill       40  120.9          Port d. Oakleigh
        Werribee       36  121.8          Will. d. Dandenong
        ------------------------          Frankston d. Coburg
        Port Melb.     36   96.8          Sand. d. Preston
        Preston        32   85.0          Springvale d. Box hill
        Dandenong      28  110.1
        Coburg         28   94.8
        Springvale     28   92.7
        Frankston      24   81.9
        Oakleigh        4   43.5

 In the last round, Werribee plays Sandringham at home and Port Melbourne plays
Prahran at Toorak Park. I'll report the results of these games next week.

Hope you enjoy these. Until tomorrow.............
