GAME DAY: Eagles break road curse

The West Coast Eagles have their first win away from home for the season after a hard fought and highly emotional game, claiming a eight-point victory over Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Saturday.
The Eagles were emotionally charged in their clash with the Power after Andrew Gaff copped a hit to his head with Tom Jonas reported for the bump to the back of Gaff’s head in the third quarter.
With the Eagles one man down, Port Adelaide took advantage to narrow the margin to 19-points by three quarter time, but the Eagles held on to take home the win 13.8 (86) to 14.10 (94).
