Q3 has started just like the first half: Swans without a forward line structure, and the Eagles just pumping the ball back into their forward 50 again and again and again. (Q3 4:37)
This is actually one of the worst games of the season to watch. Not a contest at all, just like watching a schoolyard bully hold a kid’s head in a toilet. (Q3 6:24)
