Good win today against Casey...Very windy which favoured the southern end....
Interesting inclusion was Michael Newton who was out of Melbourne's team yesterday due to injury...was he injured or was he dropped??.....I spoke to one of the Melbourne coaching staff early in the 1st 1/4 and he seemed suprised that Newton was playing...also hinted that Newton had in fact been omitted due to injury AND form...
Nick Sautner had a very good day and took several heavily contested marks....
Peter Summers in his 1st game as captain stood out...Chad Liddell played well as did Chris Lamb...
A nine goal 3rd quarter with the wind set up the win...and then the Zebras kicked 5 against the wind in the last 1/4...
A lot of interest on Yze's game...thought he played a reasonable game...not outstanding but serviceable...
All in all a good solid start to the season and now for Port at Port next Saturday
