00:00Free kick to Braden Blake.

00:02Blake, free kick. Defensive side of the centre wing.

00:06He earns that the umpire know too, he wasn't happy with that decision.

00:09He goes wide, he finds Dennehy, hit him on the chest, this is Jed.

00:14Jed Dennehy, defensive side of centre wing, swimming pool side.

00:17Jed Dennehy, it's a 60, 65 metre ball, it goes into the forward pocket.

00:22McKenna was the target, he tracks the footy towards the boundary line.

00:25They keep it in play, little short pass,

00:28and hits the target. Johnson takes a mark.

00:32Tell me what happened there, Don Morant.

00:34He hasn't played on, has he? He has played on.

00:36No, he hasn't. Let's take a deep breath. It can't be.

00:39Umpire called time off. He did play on, but you're right.

00:41No, he's played the 50. He's played the 50 metre penalty.

00:44That was a bit brutal, that defensive play from Strath.

00:49And by hand, the kick was smothered.

00:52It goes to the hot spot. They've got numbers here.

00:55Short pass, will come out. He's marked that, Bernacchi.

00:59Bernacchi was at the fingertips, didn't allow it.

01:01Tell us what happened, Don Morant, as we'll have a ball up 40 from goal.

01:04Absolute worm burner exit, and Brad Bernacchi's actually dived and marked that.

01:09Hasn't been paid though. Umpire had a good spot,

01:11but must have hit the deck from where it was not to be paid.

01:14Bernacchi certainly thought it was a mark. He got up pleading his case.

01:16Riley Wilson-Hambles off to Clossie out of defence.

01:19Knocked forward for the storm. Shan will then clear the ball.

01:22It'll go down the wing. Dennehy will be first back to it for Gisborne.

01:25He should have a shot from here, seriously.

01:27He's a big booming kick of the footy, but he's probably 90 metres out from goal.

01:31Malcolm Blight might have had a shot if it was him.

01:33It spills out the back of the pack.

01:34He'll call it an assist as they dribble it towards goal.

01:37The dogs, and they put through the goal underneath the score.

01:40Ethan Featherby kicks it into Harvey in the back pocket,

01:44right in front of the scoreboard. 36 playing 21.

01:46Gisborne lead. Harvey plays on for the storm.

01:48Sends it beyond 50. It holds up in the breeze.

01:52Good strong mark that's taken by Jones on half-back.

01:54Jones wastes no time playing on, but it's straight to a pack of three dogs.

01:59And as a result, the free kick had to be given

02:01because it was Zach Charles who pushed his opponent directly underneath the footy.

02:05And it will be a free kick to Jack Reaper.

02:08Reaper just reaps a high ball towards centre-half forward.

02:11Jones goes up. Couldn't take it. Spills off hands.

02:14Now they'll get it to Clossie. Clossie's hairball spell out the back.

02:17Now the Gisborne Bulldogs look to play their turnover game and quickly get it moving.

02:21Flying shot from Dylan Johnson will go right to the line and he'll get the goal.

02:26Three goals now for Dylan Johnson.

02:29He's game for the storm. Defensive side of the centre circle.

02:32He'll spread it to right-half forward.

02:35They'll set themselves. Ernst with a fist in there.

02:37Bo Stevens runs under the footy. Slips over at an unopportune time.

02:42They dive on top of him and halfway between the centre-half forward.

02:45In fact, it's a free kick. It'll be holding the ball to Lakey.

02:48Probably pretty lucky to get away with it, I reckon.

02:50No, it's fair enough, I think.

02:51You reckon?

02:52Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a good tackle. He dragged it back in and then the second tackle followed up.

02:57So, I'm with the umpire on that one, John.

02:59A pair of sevens go at it as Flynn Lakey. The seven for the Dogs was the tackler.

03:03He then sends the kick out wide. Finds a teammate on the poolside wing.

03:06Short pass in-board to James Gray. Gray plays on quickly.

03:10Sends a spearing ball inside forward 50.

03:12Carries to the back of the pack. It works out to Dylan Johnson.

03:15Johnson snaps the goal on his left and bounces it through.

03:18Dylan Johnson's got... throw in.

03:21Right in front of us here in our broadcast position. 13-point lead to the Dogs.

03:25Ernst going into the ruck for the Storm.

03:29Dennehy going in for Gisborne. The ball went straight to Ernst.

03:32It was then handballed to Sheehan. Sheehan then sends it up towards centre-half forward.

03:36Mark not taking some appeals for being held by Berens.

03:39Didn't get it. Gisborne work it out to Clough.

03:42Clough gets it on the far wing. Now they're away through Vescovi.

03:45Vescovi. One bounce on the wing. He looks in-board to come corridor.

03:48It's a poor kick. He might cause a turnover here.

03:51Storm. Can they make and capitalise on it?

03:54But picked up very well by Luxmore of the Dogs.

03:57He goes to half forward. Merritt also getting involved.

04:00They'll emerge now. The Dogs will go goalward.

04:02It's Johnson. With Johnson. And he's put it through on the left.

04:07That's five. The Dogs through Johnson.
