No changes both teams as selected. CARN THE SAINTS!!!

markinUSA · Post: # 721341Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:07pm

The Saints have won the warm-up.

And in late breaking news, it has been scientifically proven that the Eagles not only have a bad culture, but are bad people.

markinUSA · Post: # 721342Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:09pm

Nick has won the toss. He is a champion, and leading the way already.

markinUSA · Post: # 721343Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:10pm

Gardiner, Ball, Jones, Dal Santo in the centre.

markinUSA · Post: # 721344Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:12pm

gardiner has a free kick, won the first tap too. Kicked to Roo, then CJ did a great pass to Goddard, who is lining up. HE GOALS!!!!!

Sorry, I'm having problems with the broadcast...missed a bit.

markinUSA · Post: # 721351Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:18pm

Hayes started on the bench, ABC saying he is keen to come on.

markinUSA · Post: # 721352Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:19pm

Saints 2.0 to WC 1.1
Hayes to Goddard to Schneider.
Congested 50.
Ignores Kosi lead.
Shot for goal hits the left had post.
2.1.13 to Saints

markinUSA · Post: # 721353Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:20pm

Cox run down, tackled... he has MG have 2 hit outs each.

markinUSA · Post: # 721354Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:22pm

Reiwoldt marks a bit outside the 50; kicks to Kosi but outnumbered 3 to 1.
WCE take it away. Get it to their 50. Sam F takes it away, gives a handball and gets one in return. To Milne, to Jones, mark to Geary, run down and sloppy kick to Embley. To Glass. To Mckinley. La Cra (spelling?) marks over Baker. He is aiming from the pocket 25 m out. He is taller than Baker.

Buckets · Post: # 721356Post **Buckets** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:23pm

Eagles score and its all square 13-13

markinUSA · Post: # 721357Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:24pm

LeCras goaled. Scopres are level.
Steven King in ruck now. From Ball to Goddard.
Goddard, the future Brownlow medalist, is aiming for his third.
Kicks straight and the Saints are in front again.

Buckets · Post: # 721358Post **Buckets** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:24pm

Goddard replies with his 3rd and the Saints go ahead once more! 19-13

markinUSA · Post: # 721359Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:26pm

Goddard has been dragged and is on the interchange now.

Jones gets the clearance.

Free kick to Schneider at left half forward. Bad kick. To Hanseon WCE - mark to LeCras. Seems Baker has been moved and Dawson is now on him. Eagles in attack. 3.1. to 2.1.

King wins tap, Ball gets it, went to ground, pinged for holding the ball.

Schillaci · Post: # 721360Post **Schillaci** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:26pm

Great start by Goddard and now he's off. WTF?

Buckets · Post: # 721361Post **Buckets** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:27pm

Let off as Ball gives away the free in the F50 but Ebert misses and its a 5 point ball game.

markinUSA · Post: # 721362Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:29pm

Point to WCE.
King has been getting a bit of it since he came on.
Roo is 60 out, ball bounced over Goddard's head and they take it away.

Ball gets to wing, to Kerr, and Fisher gets the ball over the line for a boundary throw in.

5 point lead to the Saints. King wins, but Cox roves the ball. Ball up again.

Free kick to Cox. 45 degree angle, 55 m out. Fades and is a point.

Ruck change; Cox has had 8 possessions in first 19 minutes. He is on the bench now.

Goddard gets it again.

markinUSA · Post: # 721363Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:30pm

Saints are handballing a lot; Goddard is a champion and he kicks it through for a goal, but the umpire says, no, you're getting too far ahead Saints, so he calls it back for a 50m free kick to the WCE.

markinUSA · Post: # 721364Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 3:32pm

Jones getting it again. Sounds like he's doing well.
Free kick to WCE and a 50, again.
WCE are playing with an extra man, the umpire.
They have 6 free kicks already. We have 2.
Fletcher misses the 'gimme' and its a point.
