GWS score eight goals in a row, including a ‘Jackie Chan’ special to put St Kilda to the sword in their elimination final at MSG
- Giants took control early at the ‘G’
- Saints managed to recover late in the first half
- Plenty of highlights including karate kick GWS target
St Kilda have a mountain of work to do to keep their AFL season alive after the GWS Giants left the chain with a first-half goal in their elimination final at the MCG.
The Saints came into the game as one of the best defensive teams in the league under the tutelage of returning coach Ross Lyon.
Meanwhile, GWS went into the post-season with seven wins from eight goals and they stormed the MCG to upset the Saints early and take control of the match.
That included a stunning series game titled ‘the Jackie Chan special’ in commentary.
Callum Brown converted this into a goal with a kick that commentators dubbed the ‘Jackie Chan special’
Max King was strong for the Saints with two goals, despite playing with a shoulder that needs reconstruction
Callum Brown and Lachie Keeffe stood together in the goal square before Brown leapt into the air and karate-kicked the ball through the sticks to the groans of the parish St Kilda crowd.
Saints rallied late in the second quarter with three goals of their own, including two for forward Max King, who is playing through the pain of a torn shoulder that will require off-season surgery.
At one point the Giants led by 42, but Saints managed to reduce the deficit to 23 at half-time
