This is looking a bit like the Eagles game last week. The numbers all point to West Coast, except for the scoreboard. If they keep up this dominance, it will eventually tell. (Qtr Time)
The lack of Brodie Smith has meant Cheney has to play on a man rather than seventh defender, which has meant space for Kennedy. The ball has barely been up the other end. (Qtr Time)

5.3 to 0.7 that quarter, like the hawks game last week it took a while but finally the all-ground pressure game started getting true results. (3 Qtr Time)
