During this inaugural season of the Melbourne Heart there will be a lot of firsts, and on Friday night against the Jets we witnessed a number of significant events. Our first competition point, our first away game and of course our first goal, although I'm sure the first goal scored by a Heart player will carry more significance than Ben Kantarovski's unfortunate strike. However the most significant first that occurred at EnergyAustralia Stadium is one that we will hopefully not see many of; our first result that we were hugely fortunate to come away with!

The Jets were in control for huge portions of the 90 minutes, particularly in the first half, when much like Joe Hart between the sticks for Manchester City Saturday night, ‘keeper Clint Bolton was the only thing keeping Melbourne in the game.

The Heart's cause wasn't helped by the early injury to former Socceroo Josip Skoko, however the possession game that was so prevalent against the Mariners in round one was far from successful against the Jets. Wave after wave of attack met the Heart defence across the whole 90 minutes, and all in all we were extremely fortunate to come away with our first point.

As with last week, despite an underwhelming performance, there were a number of positives to be taken from the game. Prior to the season all the emphasis was on the big names, Sibon, Skoko, Beauchamp etc, however the leading lights for much of the opening two rounds have been two young, home-grown talents.

Michael Marrone and Nick Kalmar continue to push their big name team-mates from the limelight, with the former providing a scintillating run through the heart of the Newcastle defence which led to the own-goal. Kalmar's role has been extremely important this season, with a number of players around him struggling to find their feet in a new structure, he has excelled whilst also coming the closest yet to scoring the Heart's opening goal. Rutger Worm showed glimpses in the last 20 minutes that he may have found some form, and hopefully we will begin to see the best of him in the coming rounds.

The Jets, despite a lack of goals, are close to the most exciting team to watch in the A-League this season. The likes of New Zealand international Jeremy Brockie and Marko Jesic shone brightest in attack, whilst left back Adam D'Apuzzo will be pushing hard for Socceroos selection when Holger Osieck comes-a-calling for a locally based squad. Despite only coming away with two points from the opening two rounds, I expect to see the Jets causing quite a few headaches come the business end of the season.

Another A-League round has drawn to a close, but thankfully we need not wait till next weekend to get our footballing fix! The mighty Reds are back in action overnight against Arsenal, and I can only hope I won't be waiting until Friday night against Adelaide to enjoy my first victory of the new season!
