Double Blues victory stuns Eagles Eagle Samuel Heinjus is tackled by Sturt's Levi Krause in the game at Woodville. EVERYTHING came together for Sturt when they delivered a 36-point win over the Eagles that seriously challenges their premiership credentials. STURT had been threatening an upset for weeks and yesterday the Double Blues' seven Adelaide Crows-listed players all stood up, Matt Duldig kicked a bag and their kids were outstanding. Finally, after weeks of competitive footy with nothing to show for it, Sturt had something to celebrate. Not to be haunted by the ghosts of Round one when they led the Eagles by 32 points only to roll over and lose by 26, the Double Blues refused to surrender their half-time lead and stormed to an emphatic victory. In amazing scenes at Woodville Oval, the club song failed to play over the sound system after the win, so Sturt supporters gathered on the boundary to sing to their charges. "I felt it had been coming a bit because our form had been OK," coach Seamus Maloney said. We haven't played a lot of footy together so we should only improve. It's only one win but there's plenty of upside and we're bringing in young people who are cementing their spot. If Crows coach Brenton Sanderson is wondering where his hard-bodied midfielders like Sydney had on the weekend are, then Aidan Riley and Richard Tambling couldn't have done any more to put their hand up for AFL selection this week, while Brodie Martin and Matthew Jaensch weren't far behind them. But as good as they were, it was Sturt's kids who made the difference - Jack Stephens, Tom Harms, Guy Page, Matthew Crocker and Christian Calabrese provided run and pressure all day. Fraser Evans also did a good job in keeping Andrew Ainger to two goals and the side won without injured skipper Michael Coad after half-time. The Eagles by contrast were woeful. They panicked under pressure, turned the footy over and even stopped running in the final term, which allowed the loss to become embarrassing. Coach Michael Godden kept his leadership group in an extended meeting after the game as the Eagles look to fight their way back from consecutive losses. "We have to review where we're at as a footy club, every time we've been challenged this year we've failed miserably," Godden said. We're really gutted at the moment. Just 18 months after winning the premiership, Godden conceded his team was a long way off the top three sides, Norwood, West and North.
