Geelong leaves it late to clinch a win over St Kilda at a completed Kardinia Park, while the Suns withstand a late surge by the Crows, following earlier wins for the Giants and Bombers.
AFL round one: Geelong beats St Kilda at home and the Suns hold off the Crows in the wet, after wins for GWS and EssendonGeelong superstar Patrick Dangerfield has kicked a long-range goal in the final minute to lift the inaccurate Cats to a tense eight-point win over St Kilda in their AFL season opener.
Earlier, Jesse Hogan kicked six in a GWS win over North Melbourne, while the Bombers got over the line against Hawthorn in the last quarter. Dangerfield was hugely influential, supported well by Tanner Bruhn and Max Holmes, who finished with 24 touches and 683 metres gained.Jeremy Cameron dazzled with two brilliant first-half goals and young forward Ollie Dempsey shone with three goals and nine score involvements.
The Bombers got off to a winning start over the Hawks, the Kangaroos had plenty of moments to give their fans hope but in the end the Giants had too much class and firepower. But Noah Anderson had a night out, with 35 disposals, eight clearances, eight inside 50s and six score involvements. The Suns' skipper, Touk Miller, also chimed in with 29 disposals, nine tackles and 10 clearances.
Q4. 9:45 remaining: The rain is still falling at Carrara, and life is challenging for all players, but the Crows have put it together, kicking to the square and the Suns give away a free for over the shoulder.
