00:00Arthur Smith, Smith of the Dragons, inside forward 50, Green is one-on-one, Green juggling footy, 50 metres out, he just turns and wheels, picked up the footy, the handball was severe to Smith, and now Eagle Hawk, good strong tackling, they win possession, Smith, smothered ball, still, it's now Eagle Hawk pick it up through Billy Evans and spreads it wide.
00:20Evans kick went wide, but it's...
00:21That was really good body work by Maxted in the ruck, just to actually work Frost, the number one ruckman, off the ball, that's great body work.
00:28Probably the third string ruckman doing a lot of the forward hit-outs this year, Lankford brings the kick in for Eagle Hawk in the Frost direction, he flew up over Tom Campbell, Tom Campbell the centre half forward in the team of the year, up against Braden Frost who was on the interchange in the team of the year as well for the Bendigo Footy League, boundary throw in right in front of our broadcast position, both ruckmen getting a good run up at this one, they'll engage as the ball hits its highest point, one down Smetzer, he was able to then pick it up off the half volley, snaps around his body, it's a high ball inside forward 50,
00:58they all camp under it, Hanley comes through and knocks it forward, but it's picked up by Hood, Hood snaps around the body to the top of the square, coming around green, Mable to knock the ball to ground, he then shocked it, snapped around the body and kicked the first goal of the day.
01:10Terrific finish.
01:14And it's long to the outer side wing, spills to the back, hurried kick out of the pack, came from right for the Dragons, shallow inside forward 50, Butterick's on the, Donnett rather is on the end of a handball, spreads it wide, they'll work it to the outer side wing now, set themselves, wasn't quite.
01:32It's a mark in front of Neves, but he was impeded, umpire said he got him high, so Max there picks up the footy, no one on the mark, so he's allowed to just get up and go, runs his a lot of distance and chips the pass to absolute perfection, and it lands on the chest of Fergus Green, who is, well he's right on the pane of 50 and he will release from right where that 50 metre arc meets the bit.
01:53He goes to the Dragons, he looks for Fergus Green, and it's a good strong mark that was taken, saving by Langford, 50 metres as well.
02:01For what?
02:02One of the standards players, I think Fergus Green got called to stand and he might have kept running away or...
02:06Potentially, or he came across the mark.
02:08A couple of weeks ago in a final from about 55 out to the city end, so the wind won't help him at this end, but he is a big kicker to the football, so I think you're right, he's within range to have his shot.
02:18They haven't really settled since Ureta was taken off.
02:23I reckon this is the steadier that they need.
02:25Collins, man on the mark, stands at 40.
02:29Barnard Street ends.
02:31Not much angle to speak off.
02:33Over the Dragons, steps inside, goes off the side of his boot, it's not even going to be close.
02:37They set themselves, big pack forms, hurry kick out of the pack, Goldwood, is nothing.
02:42In fact, it's a minor score.
02:43Dragons increase the lead.
02:4539 playing, 16, six and a half gone, second term, live 25.
02:48That OK, Brome, he threw it to himself because he was trying to handball and he mucked it up,
02:52but he got away with it.
02:53Inside, forward 50, they go.
02:55Langford dropped the mark in a one-on-one contest with Green.
02:58He was able to recover.
02:59Handball to Hanley.
03:00Hanley hits an option, and now they might be able to run it down the poolside wing, Johnny.
03:03Through Sam Thompson, he goes short, finds Billy Evans.
03:07Billy Evans' defensive son.
03:08Keating was good early when the hoop was on to get them, well, what, four or five goals up
03:14before Eagle Hawk kicked into gear.
03:15But they've got the footy now with Jonty Neves.
03:18Short pass forward.
03:19It's OK.
03:20Intercepted there by Coglott, who goes long to half forward to Curnow.
03:25Curnow retreats, finds his teammate in Morris.
03:28Morris goes inside, forward 50, and Fergus Green basically left under-tendered at that time.
03:36And you don't need to give him much room, Jase, and he had it on that occasion.
03:39You don't, and I maybe gave the Eagle Hawk key defenders a bit of a pump-up two minutes too early.
03:45That was poor.
03:46Their two best key defenders are actually in that contest there
03:49and allowed Fergus Green to have a jump at the ball uncontested, and he takes the mark.
03:54They got caught guessing.
03:55They did.
03:56They got caught guessing, and they've been good.
03:58Lankford's been as good as any this afternoon, talking about as good players defensively anyway.
04:03Fer Green, too good of a player to miss this in a grand final.
04:07And does.
04:07Give him a mouse.
04:11Didn't even look like it.
04:1271 playing 49, but he's a pretty good player, Jase, let's be honest.
04:15He's overcompensating for the Mullin presence.
04:18He'll then get some space.
04:19Send it inside, forward 50.
04:20No mark, off hands.
04:22Spills to the front of the pack.
04:23Good, strong contest there from both players going hard at the 40s, was it?
04:31No, it was Ben.
04:31Is Aussie disposals on live 25 local fresh footy?
04:34Netball might be over, is it?
04:35There's a big crowd walking from there.
04:36Yeah, we'll just confirm that for you.
04:38Reckon Kangaroo Flat will win that grand final.
04:41Deep in attack here now, Dragons.
04:43Green emerges from the pack.
04:45Puts it on the left.
04:47And didn't find distance.
04:48Didn't find any purchase.
04:50So they'll work it out of the back line here through Lankford.
04:53Lankford over the tap to Thompson for Eagle Hawk.
04:56Looks for Cooma.
04:57Cooma one-on-one.
04:58Keating does well.
05:00Forward, no mark taken in the distance.
05:02Tapped away though.
05:03Dragons will get a chance to look to go forward.
05:05Hood found some space.
05:07Sends it inside, forward 50 in the direction of Fergus Green.
