Liam Ryan worked up the ground to provide an avenue into attack and most roads inside the West Coast attacking 50 led to Kennedy. The Eagles evened out the contested battle, took control of stoppages and owned territory in the back half of the quarter. The Crows had their own star to celebrate in Laird, who kicked two of his team’s first three goals and went to the first break with 10 disposals, but by quarter time Kennedy’s goals and several muffed chances had narrowed the gap to three points. Kennedy went to the first break with three goals, all from trademark leads and unerring set shots: Two from deep in the forward pocket and one from outside 50. It was hard to believe this was a farewell game for an injury-hampered veteran who had said he was running on empty when you looked at the quarter-time stats.
