The ball barely hit the ground in the 80 minutes of play and both teams generated some great run through the middle of a very spacious field. The game was hard fought until the final whistle - both teams produced multiple goal scorers and both had some good opportunities to give players a run in different positions around the ground. Special thanks to Andrew for some great umpiring (again). Tigers (19-9-123) Butler(6), Cleary(5), Buck(3), Muller(2), Aitken(1), Tucker(1), Morton(1) Saints (10-11-71) Richmond(4), Liddell(4), Lindsay(1), Eden(1) Posted on Monday, May 05, 2008 Metro Game Moved to Sunday Directions to the field: http://maps.live.com/OneClickDirections.aspx?mkt=en-us&rtp=~pos.47.4378014912322_-122.32957988977432&FORM=LLMP Also, there are some professional photos available for purchase that were taken in Portland on 4/12.

Seattle rallied hard at the beginning of the 3rd - booting 3 quick, unanswered goals thanks mostly to some sublime ruck work by Mike Liddell, which resulted in fast center clearances by the Grizzlies midfield. The Power managed to steady with a mid-term goal and then successfully slowed the tempo of the game and traded goals with the Grizzlies for the remainder of the match. Several missing Seattle Veterans made way for first (full squad) gamers Ryan Kastl, Jack, Gabe McMurray, Wayne Liddy, Tim Hollingsworth, and Tom Keane who all impressed in difficult conditions. The Seattle defensive half did extremely well in fending off some potentially dangerous rebound footy with Chris Richmond and Eric Butler doing a great job of filling holes and patrolling an occasionally very open Portland forward line. At the other end of the ground Ian Rubesch, Ed Fayette and Josh Anfinson worked hard against some very stifling Portland defense to provide good targets for Seattle midfielders. Part time Seattle players Martin Coventry, Mark Bartlett, Sean-Paul Henry, and Robbo were all very damaging for Portland who ran out well deserved winners. Seattle 6 – 10 – 46 Portland 10 – 6 – 66 Seattle goal kickers: Rubesch (2), Anfinson (2), Tucker (1), Fayette (1) Many thanks to the Portland Power for organising and hosting a great game of footy. Posted on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 Tigers victorious over Saints in Round 1 of MetroFooty The first quarter was relatively even as each team dusted off the cobwebs of a 5 month off-season. It was the Tigers in front though 1-5-11 to 1-2-8. The second quarter saw a few injuries to the Saints side as Josh Anfinson earned himself a trip to the ER thanks to two whacks to the upper lip from two separate Tigers players. He emerged later that night at the pub with a single stitch in his upper lip along with 3 phone numbers from ER nurses. David Sams also succumbed to a high tackle and as a result is now nursing a very sore shoulder but expected to recover quickly. Despite the fallen Saints they fought hard, with the newly crowned captain, Ed Fayette kicking a goal on the way to his bag of a team high of 3. The Tigers continued to surge with Bruce Aitken showing how it's done in the ruck and freshly back from a year in Australia, Colin Murphy was as a useful as ever. At the half-time break it was the Tigers 3-7-25 to the Saints 2-2-14. The Premiership quarter saw the Tigers push ahead with 3 quick goals to open the term. Eric Butler showed that he can play at the opposite end of the ground kicking one of them on his way to a 2 goal day. Veteran Grizzlies Glenn Gardner (Tigers) and Aran Parker (Saints) also showed that they still had what it takes both kicking goals on their way to 1 and 2 goals respectively. Matt Muller (Tigers) also managed to kick one after an interesting umpiring decision. New Tigers players Kyle Nielson, Wayne Liddy, Tim Hollingsworth and Tom Keane all performed well in their first outing in Seattle. After a late trade (lend?) to the Saints from the Tigers before the game started, Damien Chapman made a welcome return after a couple of seasons away from the club - he showed that he'll be a very handy player for the Grizzlies this year after playing well around the field and then dominating the ruck when he was moved there. Jeff Purcell, Darren Hogben and Ian Cleary were effective as ever in clearing the ball out of the middle as the Tigers piled on 5 goals for the term. The Tigers backline of Dan Choate and Greg Morton were able to hold the Saints to 3 goals for the term as they attempted to mount a comeback. Despite missing a couple of "sitters" Walter Buck still swears by his gloves and will have them back for the next clash. At the end of the 3rd quarter it was the Tigers pushing ahead 8-8-56 to 5-3-33. The 4th Quarter saw both teams tiring and another injury to the Saints with Chris Stearns taken from the field with a knee injury - he is expected to be fine and ready for our next clash. First gamers in Seattle for the Saints, Chris Saddler and Ryan Kastl both played well into the stretch. Kastl managed one goal for the game and showed that he may be the fastest player over the not present fellow Saints Blair Richards and Justin Peel. Jake Lynch (Saints) fought particularly hard and was the only bloke wearing pants on the field - he has sworn to show off his white legs for the next game. Mike Liddell also played well for the Saints and will add some needed height to the Grizzlies squad. Gabe McMurray (Saints), our favourite K&K barman managed to get through the game unscathed with a couple of great spoils in the back line, 1 year after his season ending shoulder injury. 2nd year player Nick Holcomb also played well and helped the Saints to hold back the Tigers. The Saints were led all day by Josh Orozco who worked extremely hard in the middle and combined well with fellow second year player Ryan Young to drive the ball into the forward line. Pete Lindsay, wearing borrowed boots was as hard at the ball as ever, wtih Aran Winkler and Ian Rubesch also playing well, especially Rubesch who had the tough job on forward, Butler for some of the game. For the Tigers, Ross Tucker managed to captain the team to their first victory of the year. So the final score at the end of the game had the Tigers as 4 goal winners: Tigers 10-10-70 Saints 7-4-46 Goals: Tigers: Colin Murphy 2, Eric Butler 2, Bruce Aitken 1, Darren Hogben 1, Glenn Gardner 1, Ian Cleary 1, Matt Muller 1, Ross Tucker 1 Saints: Ed Fayette 3, Aran Parker 2, David Sams 1, Ryan Kastl 1 A big Thanks to the 33 players who turned up and we hope to see all of you in Portland on Saturday April 12th. Also thanks to Mick Gruenwald for running boundary and Andrew Donlen for umpiring in his normal glorious attire.
