The third quarter, the premiership quarter in AFL, was telling. AC’s fitness was allowing them to wrestle back control. Chances however were still few and far between as the Rangers defence stood strong. The fizz went out of the game in the fourth quarter as the heat started to takes its toll. Rangers took advantage and started peppering the goals at will, eventually scoring with a tap in at the back post. The score line could have been as ugly as Carlos Tevez (pictured) or the formatting of this post if it weren’t for a man of the match performance by shot stopper Tim Nolan. The pretend stuff is now over and it’s time for the real deal. The lads have a week off to rest and get rid of niggling injuries before lining up South Yarra at Fawkner park in round one. AC Malvern 0 – 1 Rangers

Friendly finale
A glorious day and an unprecedented quality surface at the Stadium of Shite greeted the two teams in the final warm up match of the 2011 pre-season. Although the result wasn’t the focus, Central Park Rangers managed to get their noses in front with a fourth quarter (yep we played in quarters) goal from their answer to Freddie Ljunberg; Lars. The potential of lining up with depleted stock forced AC to go to the vaults and recall club legends Engel and Brendan into the line up. Their class and passion for the club would be immediately evident. There are good days and bad days and for some reason the lads from AC struggled to find their rhythm early on. The midfield was dominated by the equally aging Rangers as they dictated play and fashioned a few early chances. Slowly AC woke up and started to get into the game, but couldn’t get past the impenetrable force that was the Rangers back four. Frustration started to mount and the game plan reverted to AC circa 2010 with long balls to no one in particular which proved fruitless and would return just as quick. A half time chat from the coaching panel seemed to pay dividends. The lads put training into practise with short sharp passes to each other. Momentum built and a couple of scoring opportunities presented with Garriet almost scoring his first in red and black.
