Points although 220 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: this was a battle between two winless. Teams the intensity 221 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: was really, high With geelong not only looking to get 222 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: their first win of twenty twenty, two but also to 223 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: snap a ten game losing streak at home dating back 224 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: To february twenty. Nineteen it was a tight one And 225 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: West coast were hot on the attack when the sirens, 226 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: sounded but they just couldn't clear the contest and The 227 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: cats hung on to win four goals three twenty seven 228 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: to three goals six twenty. Four The eagles look shattered 229 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: AND i think it's obviously taken a really big toll 230 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: on them being away from. Home they've been in A 231 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: melbourne harbor Alongside fremantle to try and deal with the 232 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: strict border.

Something you see how many 507 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 5: games like The Six nations on, now and you see 508 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 5: The Northern hemisphere playing so many games and supporting their 509 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 5: women on such a big stage is just incredible for 510 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 5: the game and how well they're playing.
