It's the battle that's been building for days and Nic Naitanui has landed the first punch for the West Coast Eagles against Rilley O'Brien.
The 30-year old big man booted the Eagles' first goal of the day, grabbing the ball out of a ruck contest against O'Brien and snapping it around his body.

It comes after O'Brien accidentally tweeted his matches notes on Thursday afternoon, which labelled Naitanui as "lazy and unfit".
