scoreboard Gary liers with us what do you make of this one G the Hawks have had slightly the better of what's been a DA struggle so far they look very sound defensively and are certainly making it difficult for their opponents to find Avenues to goal if they can keep that up they need a big score to win this one we'll see how it plays out thanks Gary that's wasteful they'll B their time the dogs are out of trouble probing ball Whitman he's generally a good kick McCrae by hand heads towards the half forward flank and inside 50 goes begging what's he got on offer CH looking to extend this margin Gunston takes a beauty it's so important to be efficient in front of goal especially when it's tied on the scoreboard [Applause] that's offline didn't really give it a chance perhaps he should have looked to lay that one off he'd missed more of those and he'd kick Dale goes towards halfback Williams has a bulik grip Cofield throws it on the boot vmir the dogs might be able to start something good thinking and good execution too ignoring the corridor for now Daniel what a hand pass they'll sweep this ball forward Williams was that a throw HS he's under close attention they've worked it well this will be a goal through it goes and there's a kick the difference so often he provides great energy for them up front and he's done it again the dogs with the first of the second turn English Palms are down McCrae quality delivery by fo he's field kicking is nor first wrath tror has it at half forward clever kick well played goals have been tough to come by got to make the most of your opportunities he's a good set shot and he's buried that one he has produced a clinical finish there to cap off a terrific passage of play [Applause] back on terms again punch clear Nash

very well gon Gary senior Eat Your Heart Out goals haven't exactly flow so far so this would be [Applause] valuable bangs are through if they can get up ahead of steam they'll be hard to stop that was a terrific passenger play culminating in a great goal the Hawks are really taking it to them today English showing his skills tror got to go quickly time running out Frost accepted the invitation that didn't travel far enough this might be a chance for the High Flyers Lewis Nash Bruce takes the responsibility just needs to finish finish he does a real opportunist goal there he doesn't need a lot of the foot to make an [Applause] impact the Hawks are doing enough to keep their noses in front Reeves wined out of the center n Frenching tackle he's got support Williams the halim siren sounds and the players will Retreat to the rooms with lots to contemplate it's time some observations from Gary L it hasn't been a great spectacle so far as fans of the game we all want to see lots of goals and free flowing play the coaches of course will always take a win however they can get it this match is there for the taking for the team that wants to play an attacking BR of football thanks for those observations Gary as we get back underway it's there they've got to find a way to get him into the game we know how damaging he can be away we go once more important clearance here Kore they're desperate today good tackle Dale into the action again already Nukem gathers Amon heads towards half forward Jones spoils Cofield how will the Umpire see this can they keep the footy this time he's hit up the lead here's the vital kick inside the 50 ugle haen got to the right position and hung on he's not on the board yet that should change here [Applause] drop pun and he has put it away well it's one thing to take the contested Mark but another to have the composure to finish off your good work back in the middle the two big men do battle Nukem Nash Greg Williams would have been proud of that one Joel Bruce will save his teammates blushes BR buddy you think goes goldwood and he's off Target a golden opportunity and he's blown and you can see how annoyed he is with himself Dale to bring it back in Richards working hard and being rewarded who will stand under that Nukem has brought his own ball HRI kick goes very wide Mo met solidly he put himself in the line of fire sloppy disposal and we'll have a throw in what are your thoughts G the Hawks are playing great footy and I can't see any reason why they can't go on to win this Bon ping he'll be sore in the morning that's a Dreadful hand pass truth told Reeves they've worked it well the defense has fallen down Gunston in the forward pocket can have a shot he's got off the chain and is's threatening to be the match winner that'll go close I tell you what it's been him close it's a goal he's been on song today so we really shouldn't be surprised he converted that one the Hawks have responded to the challenge it's been a great duel between the two big men bondon P he's besieged no one able to clear the footing so we'll have another ball up English wins the T Daniel tror this is promising delivers it inside 50 Jones he's going for home and why wouldn't he WI a finish like that he managed to find to space in a dangerous position and made them pay for their little checking it's a good oldfashioned arm wrestle English with a de tack solid tackle Daniel Jones Dale quick kick towards set of half forward lob might be just outside his range yle haen has marked in front of go he'll give them the lead if he can hold his [Applause] nerve yle haen has one already now it's two some good ball movement there Crea that opportunity and a core finish as well neither side giving an inch what a contest we're seen Reeves Palms are down Nukem now Ash CAU some unwanted attention Daniel popped up out of nowhere terrific tackle this is promising Frost with a big fist he's suddenly a popular man goes very wide that's been deemed insufficient intent and fair enough to centering ball Norton is so strong oneon-one for a little breathing space [Applause] for a boost just before the break this is very close he certainly would have expected to kick that one but he's got to put it out of his mind now he's off jaff to bring it in impy in the clear I've liked this game today Hardwick strong grab that's an aggressive hand ball well played his vision was excellent more Ward we turn for home with an upset well and truly on the cards can these spirited underdogs hold on it's time for some observations from Gary L this is anyone's game there's little between the sides in contest the ball and clearance and so if one side can get on top in those areas it will go a long way to winning the game no one 's going to give an inch though I think we may have a last minute thrill hand good under Gary thank you no easy exit terrific forward pressure Richards can he mop up tror the dogs look well drills Dary good kick bondon p no one's gone near him and he could make them pay poter ugle Hagen commands the footy fany's chances [Applause] drop punt that'll be a goal never in doubt I thought the right options of moving that ball forward and weever take the opportunity when it presented the Hawks are up against it now McCrae trying to find a PA he's caught gets the kick away Reeves clever hand ball Joel Darcy gathers he ran into a brick wall Johann in space can run and carry English the dogs finishing strongly no one can Mark yug Hagen so influential today it's there four goals without a Miss no wonder they're looking for him when they go forward it's a comfortable margin but they wouldn't want to rest on their Laurels the big men fly Nukem Nash closed him down Reeves hard demanded the footy and got it if they have any hope this must be a goal kicking for his first L takes a potentially goal saving mark on the last line of defense johanneson all on his own Williams has found some space that's good Vision the dogs have got out of jail they can smell Victory you can't afford to do that too often can he be the fire starter Williams spoils Bruce it's a hot footy aim on CH they desperately need this it was always likely to fall short you can see their confidence growing Daniel works hard to present quality delivery by foot the dogs are finishing with a wet sail into the middle with the kick honors the lead just waiting for the right moment to press go palter their ball movement has been impressive Jones they're playing with purpose and Poise HS has it at half forward Williams bad kicking there out on the four the Hawks haven't thrown the tal in ch on Center Wing Aon they're building something dangerous here it's a tough game Hardwick will the Umpire pluck a free kick no prior and we'll have a ball up Reeves wins the hit out McCrae attracted to crowd L they put themselves Under Pressure wed he doesn't waste many thumped away he's set upon harassed into an error Jones might go for a run HS might be time for one more score here they cannot keep him quiet Reeds giving his Defenders a chop out what can they generate with a chance to relieve the pressure out wide with the kick Aon has found some space at halfback McKenzie that'll go close to the line warle lays it off more navigated the traffic forand pass there and we've got a throw in L smashes it out of there good Ruck work and good ring too the dog
