The Eagles with 3 goals in 2 minutes to start the game, the Suns quell the storm though, their foot skills have improved significantly. The Suns even take the lead in the 2nd, sadly Rowell goes off injured again, which puts any slim chance of finals out the window. Darling takes a hanger and converts. A costly turnover by Cripps. Suns forwards dropping easy marks and Kelly seems to be open running down the wing all game. The Suns still up by 1 heading into the last. Allen and Ryan take over the 4th, the Suns not aggressive enough, trying to methodically work the ball forward. The Eagles winning by 25, King with 3 goals for the Suns, Rankine not having much influence. The Eagles with 8 more inside 50's and 5 more scoring shots, they key being 14 marks inside 50. Kelly best afield, with 28 disposals, 5 clearances, 9 inside 50's, 592 metres gained and 13 score involvements. Allen kicking 4 goals straight, with 9 marks, 2 contested. Hurn with 29 effective disposals, 9 intercepts, 635 metres gained and 9 score involvements. Barrass and McGovern also among their best, with 20 marks and 16 intercepts between them.
