Eagles should win. Wouldn't put it past the Saints to pull off an upset though.

Give the Saints a big chance here

Jaysus.....how hard is it to let the bloke know he was about to get tackled?

 

[kane249]

Great chase down JK

Indeed. West Coast will need to be on here.

Beasting already

Duggan's right

 

[bugalugs213]

I hate when they pick a random ruck free kick when they're both going for the ******* ball.

 

[lewigie]

Who's the bloke on Kennedy ?

 

[kane249]

Sexy kick from Duggan

The ruck just threw his leg out to block the jump and didn't even contest the ball. That's a free. I think they started cracking down on it a few years ago.

 

[JeffDunne]

We can't get our hands on it.

Free kicks galore for the Eagles but they've all been there.

Wow clearly a mark in the 50 for eagles and not paid. St Kilda getting an armchair ride from the umps already as expected.

 

[Substance]

Saints keeping the ball off themselves so far.

LOL STFU umpiring has been spot on so far.

 

[Plugger35]

Umpires must think they're at Subiaco.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Inspiring commentary combination on Ch7

It hit the ground the player didn't even argue.

Must be why he didn't complain.

 

[kane249]

Great counter-attack

 

[Jaeger]

West Coast were amazing then.

 

[Substance]

Eagles love this slingshot footy. It's the only reason they were in the game against us in round 1. You can lock the ball in your half for 5 mins then BANG they hurt you with 1 guy out of position.

 

[kane249]

Great pluck from Sinclair

 

[shoebox]

Good grab
