AFL round 16 2026, scores, results, odds, stats and start time from Marvel Stadium

Quarter time came and the Blues were ahead by 27 points.

Their midfield works very quickly. Patrick Cripps and Sam Walsh have 12 disposals each, Jagga Smith has 11 and George Hewett has two goals from eight touches.

The Blues’ first quarter was built on their dominance in stoppage time and their pressure was strong, forcing the Eagles to make mistakes.

Ollie Florent and Billy Wilson clean up at half-time, while Mitch McGovern and Harry McKay pose a threat in the Blues’ forward 50.

The Eagles need to get rid of Harley Reid’s lone midfielder.

QT: Blues 6.5 (41) Eagles 2.2 (14)
