GEELONG TOO GOOD FOR PORT ADELAIDE By Justin Kremmer THE Grand Final re-match at AAMI Stadium on Thursday night promised a typical Round One hit-out between now rivals Geelong and Port Adelaide. Both teams had declared during the off-season the last time they met, less than six months ago on the main stage, was done and dusted and from the first bounce this was a new season. A new page could be written. Yet, the humiliation and upset of Port fans could be somewhat resolved by a respectable performance, a contrast to the 119-point loss. Geelong, however, had come simply to win the points and win they did, indeed, by nine points in their first away game for the year. 24 MARCH 2008 GEELONG TOO GOOD FOR PORT ADELAIDE
