Eagles soar high in big win to maintain Giant hoodoo
May 2, 2015 10:10 PM
WEST Coast continued its stranglehold over Greater Western Sydney with a thumping 87-point win at Domain Stadium on Saturday night.
Josh Kennedy kicked six goals as the Eagles clubbed the Giants 18.12 (120) to 4.9 (33) in front of 34,554 fans.
The Giants were held to the second-lowest score in their short history by a depleted Eagles defence led magnificently by young gun Jeremy McGovern.
Elliot Yeo was phenomenal in the first half gathering 25 disposals. Chris Masten (33), Andrew Gaff (32), Liam Duggan (25) and Luke Shuey (24 and two goals) fed off the superb supply of Nic Naitanui who dominated in the ruck and kicked two goals himself. Josh Hill also bagged four goals up forward.

Eagles coach Adam Simpson was very pleased with the pressure his side applied to the Giants.
"We wanted to bring pressure and I thought we did that for almost the full four quarters," Simpson said.
"I thought our defenders stood up.
"A lot of dirty ball came in and we were able to rebound it and then we got the game played in our half, and I thought our forward line supplied a lot of pressure. So that was pretty much the game."

Five talking points: Eagles v Giants
Dylan Shiel worked tirelessly all night for the Giants collecting 36 disposals. Devon Smith and Callan Ward worked hard and Toby Greene kicked two goals but the Giants' defence was under siege all night.
