The plan for a lot of people tonight may have been to watch this game until half-time then, with the result all but assured, switch over for the Fremantle/Brisbane match.
Most people will still likely do that, but the result will still be in the balance. The severely weakened Bombers are playing with energy and verve.

Their pressure has been immense, forcing the Saints into numerous errors.
Ross Lyon’s men have not been able to move the ball.
The Bombers are dominating territory, with 18 to eight inside 50s, but haven’t converted that to the scoreboard.
Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has had the ball nine times, but his opponent Andrew McGrath has touched it eight times.
The challenge for the young Dons will be to maintain this pressure.
Jack Steele missed a shot for goal in the opening moments of the second term.
Dons 20, Saints 10 with 18 mins to go in Q2.
