GWS kick eight goals in a row including a ‘Jackie Chan’ special to put St Kilda to the sword in their elimination final at the MSG
- Giants took control early at the ‘G’
- Saints managed to rally late in the first half
- Plenty of highlights including karate kick GWS goal
St Kilda has a mountain of work to do to keep their AFL season alive after the GWS Giants went off the chain with a goal first half outburst in their elimination final at the MCG.
The Saints came into the match as one of the best defensive teams in the competition under the tutelage of returning coach Ross Lyon.
Meanwhile GWS surged into the post-season with seven wins from eight goals and they stormed the MCG to rattle the Saints early and take control of the match.
That included a stunning run of play labelled ‘the Jackie Chan special’ in commentary.
Callum Brown managed to turn this into a goal with a kick commentators dubbed the ‘Jackie Chan special’
Max King has been strong for the Saints with two goals despite playing with a shoulder that needs a reconstruction
Callum Brown and Lachie Keeffe combined in the goal square before Brown leapt in the air and karate kicked the ball through the sticks to the groans of the parochial St Kilda crowd.
Saints rallied late in the second quarter with three goals of their own, including two to key forward Max King who is playing with the pain of a busted shoulder that will need surgery in the off-season.
At one point the Giants led by 42 but Saints managed to trim it back to 23 at the halftime break
