00:00 This is an important kick here. Oh, pressure on Miller.

00:03 Ground ball opportunity for Rodimoronis who gets arguably his first touch of the afternoon.

00:08 Chance for Dodd, left foot kick, territory gain at that.

00:11 McDougall was strong in the contest, kept his feet and the gather was terrific.

00:15 He can just chip it over the top of the outside of the right boot and it was effective.

00:20 The mark's been taken there by Matty Johnson, courageous as ever,

00:26 but how was the individual effort there from McDougall? Got the spoil, was out of position,

00:31 kept his feet, regained possession of the footy and kick off balance with the outside of the boot

00:37 and found Johnson to set up a shot on goal for three unanswered for the Kangas.

00:43 Well we'll leave that to the Gallup, he might have snuck that in.

00:49 E6 lead Lakewind to E6 and Ballarat 20 lead Melton South 7. At the restart it'll be Eales

00:57 and Van Meel, tap one by Van Meel, Johnson pressured there was good by Werner, somehow

01:03 Johnson got a boot to ball, wood was clean, gathered, went by hand to Muir, got it to Guthrie,

01:08 he went one way and then back to broadcast side as Werner presented.

01:12 35 to 40 metres out from the east point goal.

01:19 So now it's east points turn to deal with some congestion in their own front half.

01:27 Johnson was strong, chance here for Brown, momentum took him forward,

01:33 denied the push by the umpire and there'll be a ball up. 25 metres out from the east point goal.

01:40 Who haven't added to their quarter-time score, they've been playing tick over 11 minutes

01:47 in their second quarter but they're in attack here, tap one by Van Meel.

01:50 Quick hands of Jeffrey, got it to Matty Johnson, high up and under,

01:55 King umpire will pay the mark, bending back, he just kept bending and bending

02:00 and Johnson's got a response from the Kangas. Gee that's still anybody's game.

02:06 Finally stoppages for both sides to take a breath, it's been

02:13 quite physical and frenetic. All up, tap Rodimoronis,

02:20 got a man one tackle, couldn't get away from the eels tackle, forced to go by hand,

02:26 he'll get it back though. Guthrie had it stolen away from him by Johnson but

02:31 his effort to extricate was retarded. Rodimoronis gathered, got it to Johnson,

02:37 who got it to Canning, who went to attack by Cairns and there'll be a ball up.

02:41 So scores level at Mattingly Park, back of smash 44 North Ballarat, needless to add 44. Ball up,

02:51 tap one by Epulski, got something, got a reach on the foot, he gathered by Johnson,

02:54 he got it to Rodimoronis, he found cue, he kicked it towards half forward, Johnson could have been

03:00 held and he's going to be dark here at Eastern Oval. Boundary throw in, tap one by Van Meel,

03:07 wouldn't be well to hold it up because a couple of Kangas waiting in the mix.

03:15 So ball up, tap one by Eels to Johnson, quick hands to Van Meel, threw it away,

03:23 oh over the shoulder, loose ball tap from Eels, got it to Matty Johnson, been very good,

03:30 ticked the half forward, Dodd was disciplined, knocked it forward towards Thompson, bouncy ball

03:34 in the Robertson direction, the young young fella, lucky to get away with it, up high called play on,

03:41 there'll be a ball up.

03:47 That would have been game over, if not already, 26 point advantage to East Point, 15 near 16

03:54 minutes gone, Kangas in attack, ball up, tap one by Johnson, leave it bailed up, there'll be a ball up.

04:04 So the Kangas will be more than happy with time ticking away in their front half

04:12 in this final term. Ball up, tap one by Johnson, across the body from Brown,

04:20 didn't get enough purchase on it, Matty Johnson could, something out of nothing,

04:24 could have been goal of the day.

04:25 101 plays 63 here, East Point running away with this game.

04:32 Ball up, could have been over the shoulder there on Bygate, denied by the umpire McLean.

04:41 Just kidding. I got it.
