Montagna finishes another for the Saints in the pocket. Was a long ball in and everyone went to Riewoldt. Montagna read it better and took the mark with ease. (Q2 27:11)
Saints played an incredible half there, dominating their counter parts in the midfield. Second half will be interesting to see if they can maintain the rage. (Half Time)

Selwood wins a free kick for a poorly executed high tackle from Delaney. Scott kicks from the pocket 20 out and misses everything. Horrendous miss! (Q3 21:26)
Mackenzie goes long and it bounces once into Darlings hands. He turns and after much consideration finds Cripps in space, who goes back and sneaks it in from 30 out on the flank. (Q3 24:57)
Selwood goes in VERY short to Ellis. Certainly wasn't 15. Ellis kicks from just inside the 50 metre paint and goals for his second of the contest. Poor ump call could be costly. (Q4 2:15)
This is without doubt the Saints best performance of the season, pressure has been intense from contest to contest! (Q4 3:39)
Armitage bombs to a vacant goal square after dealing with immense pressure. Bounces the wrong way for a minor. (Q4 4:34)

Glass horrendous error leads to Templeton finding Newnes. Newnes runs into 40 unopposed but misses to the far side. Big let off for the Eagles. (Q4 14:07)
Mackenzie gets Dunstan high in the marking contest. Dunstan lines up from 45 out on the flank and caps off a great game with his second. (Q4 15:45)
