PORT Melbourne's twin towers Adrian Bonaddio and
Adrian Deluca showcased the Borough's new-look forward line during its 78-point
blitzing of reigning premier North Ballarat at TEAC Oval yesterday.
And across town, Collingwood also won its opening
match of the season, defeating Geelong by 24 points at Princes Park, with
Anthony Rocca looking ready for a recall to the senior line-up after booting
three goals and setting up several other forward thrusts.
"It's all part of his program," coach
Gavin Brown said. "This is his third game now and it's all about match
conditioning for him, and touch. It was just another one and I thought if he had
kicked straight, he would have had a really good game."
The Borough, which has lost some talented players
over the off-season including David Spriggs and Luke Livingstone, unleashed the
lethal forward package of Bonaddio and Deluca, who booted nine goals between
them in a match-winning performance, 20.13 (133) to 7.13 (55).
Deluca, the team's boom recruit who played 46
matches for Carlton, snared four goals while Bonaddio, the team's leading
goalscorer last season, booted five.
