00:00
Hosking and Cameron. Ball knocked to ground. No one can get hold of it. Ball now.
00:04
Thrown forward. Nice little palm by Cameron. Gave it off to a player.
00:09
Will kick inside. Forward 50. Bouncing ball.
00:11
Point at the lead to the Bloods.
00:14
Cameron against Hosking. Hosking a double-handed tap to the front of the pack looking for Conforti.
00:20
Holbury getting involved for the Bloods. Then it just spills.
00:23
Whistle on play. Might be a free kick Bloods.
00:26
It is. Dragons front position. Taps it to the front of the pack.
00:29
He looks for Coghlan. Coghlan picks it up by hand over the top to Conforti.
00:33
Here come the Dragons again. Over the top again to Joel Wharton on the left.
00:36
Deep in the pocket. Has a shot at goal.
00:38
Couldn't take the ball. Ball at ground level now.
00:40
Oh, Trip Urata just stepped around. Did very well. Conforti got back on that left boot.
00:46
Went low. Hard. Inside. Forward 50. But it's coming back.
00:49
A big kick out of the defensive 50.
00:51
It was a hurried, nervous type kick.
00:53
Coghlan. James Coghlan juggling. Couldn't quite get it.
00:55
Walsh picked it up for the Dragons. Gave it off by hand to McLean.
00:58
McLean will send it to the top of the square looking for Thornton.
01:01
They're back 50. Their skill level has been well down so far in this first quarter.
01:06
It's cost them dearly at both ends of the ground.
01:08
Back into the middle. Well, the Bloods have had enough inside forward 50s, haven't they?
01:12
As Conforti wins it out of the middle for the Dragons again.
01:15
Bullet ball. It couldn't do anything but mark it.
01:18
Max dead. Directly in front. The lead was strong as well.
01:22
And it went straight down his throat. Directly in front.
01:25
30 out. Should convert again. What a bit of play that was.
01:28
Handball back. Under pressure. Conforti came through.
01:32
So did Stag. They nearly clashed. Little one around the corner.
01:35
Conforti gave it off to Curnow. He went long and wide.
01:39
In the midfield by Nathan Horvary to set that up.
01:43
It went through by hand and foot through Isaiah Miller, Brodie Haddo and on to Steve Struvens.
01:50
Yeah, what was really the telling one was the kick from Curnow into the middle of the ground,
01:55
into the corridor where they were able to just push through.
01:57
Walsh from half back goes bullet past towards Collins.
02:01
Dropped probably what he should have taken. Tapped the free kick.
02:03
He'll go right at the point of the square. Gets called to play on.
02:07
They come from the side. He's got McLean out here by himself.
02:11
Just outside forward 50. Conforti runs a little bit.
02:14
Going back with the flight of the ball and takes a good chest mark.
02:17
And he'll go back and have a shot on goal. Left footer on the right side.
02:22
And in that pocket he'll just mark. He will be right behind this.
02:27
He will. He plays on. Snaps it. He doesn't get all but it's gone right across the face of goal.
02:33
And he runs straight to the boundary and says that's disgusting.
02:36
And it'll be over the line out of bounds with a full free kick to the bloods in the last line of defence.
02:41
Instead of getting the back of the ball there he got the belly and it just went straight off.
02:45
Low. Good work though by Hoskin. Got it off. Coghlan. James running through the middle.
02:51
Towards Macksted. Ureta front square. Did well. Gave it to Collins. Couldn't control it.
02:56
Now the bloods. Turn over footy. Bangs it on the boot.
02:59
Cournot got rid of his opponent. Coming out Noah Walsh.
03:02
Took a good strong mark on his chest. Played on quickly. Gave it off to...
03:06
The goal. They attack. 15 playing 25. Bloods trail.
03:12
They could get one on the board here as the sun peeks its way through.
03:16
Up they go in the ruck. Langley doing the ruck work for the Dragons.
03:20
It'll be Conforti that wins it however for the Dragons. Gives it then to McLean.
03:24
An awkward looking 50 on 50. Here they come again. It'll be through Walsh.
03:28
Walsh picked it up. Ditched off. Putting the storm to the sword as the umpire throws it in.
03:33
Hoskin was front and centre. Won it. Then Hambled at Conforti.
03:37
Ditched it off there to Keating. Keating of the Dragons.
03:39
After the footy for the Dragons. Picking it up there will be White of the Bloods.
03:43
They'll go forward again. Keck on the end of a handball. Inside forward 50.
03:47
Struvens lead. Good strong attack at the footy.
03:50
Just come in a little bit young fella and give it a big throw in.
03:53
The two ruckman set themselves. This time it's Langley up against Hoskin.
03:56
Hoskin knocks it down. Gives it to Conforti. He went around the corner. Keck got it though.
04:01
Now again over the top. Putting the ball out wide. They come back inside.
04:06
Now the Bloods. They go towards the goal. That's a good kick.
04:10
And it's a goal to the Bloods.
04:12
And it's a very...
04:13
...embarrassing Brian as the ball edges its way back towards the middle now.
04:16
Wharton goes to Conforti. Conforti by foot. He'll look there for... couldn't find Maxted.
04:22
He had front position. Bloods did well as the ball is now rebounded down the line
04:27
looking for the big ruckman Cameron. But Conforti takes a mark for the Dragons.
04:31
Goes through the corridor. Had Kerner running, chipping in front of him.
04:34
Takes the mark. Goes inside and finds a teammate coming out.
04:37
I think it's Wright who's taken...
04:39
...strong mark there was Connick at centre half back.
04:42
He went long and wide. Looked for Conforti. Bouncing ball.
04:46
And this time it's going to be a free kick in and for a deliberate out of bounds to Conforti.
04:52
So they are being consistent. He chips it down the line and finds the leading player in Collins.
04:58
Andy Collins takes the mark on half forward.
05:00
Well it wasn't a half opportunity. It was a chess mark.
05:02
Yeah, probably surprised him a little bit because it got over the pack.
05:05
He was expecting the player in front of him just to touch it.
05:07
Connick, he kicks it down the outer side. Stag getting involved.
05:10
Have they got another one in them here? The Dragons are the whistle on play
05:13
and it won't come on this occasion because...
05:15
Conforti.
05:16
...incorrect disposal.
05:17
Just tried to break the tackle. Couldn't quite get there.
05:19
Miller. I like the way Miller goes about his body.
05:22
Now they're away. Connick kicked it up. It was an awkward looking left.
05:25
I'm not sure if he knew how to kick it on the left. That's what it looked like to me.
05:28
They've got the numbers though however. Wilkinson there on the end of the one.
05:31
Ureter. Good strong touch.
05:33
Haven't really called him as he kicks it down the outer side wing.
05:36
They hit the contest hard. Thornton also quite gets his hand on the football.
05:40
Puts it into the path. There for running Conforti.
05:42
Taps it in front of him. They've run 50 metres. He gets a bit of a push.
05:45
Is the umpire going to let him get away with it? He's not.
05:48
No.
05:49
He is not. That was a push and he was just running with so much intensity
05:53
that just the forceful nature of it tipped him over and it'll be a free kick.
05:59
Hard up against the line. Probably too far out to score.
06:02
Beyond 50. In the pocket. Scoreboard.
06:07
They lead by three. In fact the Dragons.
06:10
He's a good kicker to footy. Conforti though.
06:12
Distance won't be a problem.
06:14
I reckon I'm going to back him. Left footer.
06:16
It's long. It's high. It's a goal I reckon.
06:19
Oh jeez. Boy oh boy. Made me work.
06:23
Minor score. Best point I've ever seen all season.
06:26
31. Through Poyser. They'll share it around.
06:29
Haddo getting involved. Sends it wide.
06:32
It's now a long kick by a teammate to the outer side.
06:35
On hands and knees. Dragons players.
06:37
7.951. Witchie Proof. Narraport 4.125.
06:41
And Sealake Nandali 14.993. To Charlton 4.529.
06:45
Hoskins to Conforti inside forward 50.
06:48
Wright did very well. Gave it off to Horton.
06:51
Tried to dribble it around the park. Couldn't quite get it.
06:54
It's gone over the line out of bounds for a throw in.
06:58
Deep into attack. Goes directly down.
07:01
But cutting it off there was Walsh.
07:03
Walsh then chips it over. Finds Haddo.
07:05
Haddo goes inside forward 50. Couldn't hit the target.
07:08
Good smother though. And turnover.
07:10
Can the Dragons suck? Also Hoskin.
07:12
Hoskin just gets rid of him. Gives the handball off.
07:14
Doesn't hit the target. Bloods just still kicking there.
07:17
Picking it up was Conforti. Tried to get a kick around.
07:20
Ureida's there. Tries to get it. Got stepped on.
07:22
Forward's Magstead. But it's been cut off.
07:24
Turnover. Smith. Bangs it on the boot.
07:26
Puts it to centre wing. Connick going back with the fly to the ball.
07:29
Good strong mark. Centre wing. Grandstand side.
07:32
Karrahert. Off the pack. Now goes inside forward 50.
07:35
They haven't hit a target. And again over the back.
07:38
Standing by himself. Torpy takes an easy mark.
07:40
And they will defend on the outer side.
07:42
Sends it wide. But turnover. And kicked it straight to Conforti.
07:46
He might get 50. He stands up. He suckerballed them all.
07:49
Played on. Inside forward 50. Against the boundary line.
07:53
Goal with minus score.
07:55
I think Sandhurst are starting to keep the bloods in this game.
07:59
If I'm going to be honest. 40 playing 29.
08:02
They've kicked 5-10 to 4-5. 15 minutes gone. Third term.
08:05
Footy Fresh is bending over.
08:07
Up, up. Long, long, long way.
08:09
Back into the middle. Restart it is.
08:11
It'll be Stag that wins it from the ball up.
08:14
Gives it by hand over the top to Conforti.
08:16
And he hits up Andy Collins.
08:19
That was like a training drill then.
08:21
And Andy Collins has got the opportunity to put the second within 30 seconds even.
08:26
I reckon Norm. That's how quick that was.
08:28
Yes. Good football by Sandhurst there.
08:30
It will be the Dragons. They sort of ran away from it.
08:33
Nice little hands out. Conforti on the right foot.
08:36
Got a kick. Up and under. Chases his own ball.
08:39
Went towards the boundary line. Bouncing over the line.
08:41
And out of bounds just in front of Nacksted.
08:43
And it will be a throw in.
08:45
The Dragons lead. 26 minutes gone.
08:47
Third quarter. Footy Fresh is bending over for ball line.
08:49
24 point margin. I don't think it's been beyond that for the whole afternoon.
08:53
So let's see what the Bloods can do as they win possession in the back zone.
08:57
Torpey received a handball then put it right up the chimney.
09:00
Fortunately, Hawberry was underneath it on his defensive arc of 50.
09:05
Broadcast side. He's got a running Miller for him.
09:08
Oh, Miller. He muffed it. Come off the side of the boot and went straight to Conforti.
09:13
Conforti's got an open goal and goes that way.
09:16
And it was only inaccuracy that let him down.
09:19
And a let off there for the Bloods. That's a minor.
09:22
7-12-54 the Dragons. 4-5-2.
09:26
He can't handball. Can't hit the target. Bouncing off his chest.
09:29
Able to get a little kick out. Good work.
09:32
It came out of the pack and went to a hair.
09:34
He was then tackled. Taken to ground.
09:37
And the ball is going to be turned over.
09:39
And then a little trip from Kirk.
09:41
No, no. It was a free for the tackle. Excellent tackle.
09:44
It was. It was. It was Conforti.
09:46
Banged it on the boot. Put it long towards his teammate.
09:49
But front and square was Hawberry. He couldn't take it.
09:53
Now the ball's turned over. Quick kick out.
