Match Overview
The Crows got off to a flying start, with Walker scoring the opening goal just 45 seconds into the game.

However, the Crows dominated the game from here on, amassing a total of 23 goals. For the Crows, Izak Rankie scored two consecutive goals, and Taylor Walker himself took advantage of the Eagles’ lack of height in the backline, scoring his third goal, among other goals, thus paving the way for the home team to take a 34-point lead into the first quarter break.
With Taylor Walker smashing through goal after goal, the Crows continued their dominance in the second quarter, piling on five unanswered goals and blowing their lead out to ten goals at halftime, making it a near-impossible task for the Eagles to make a comeback.
