Davidson a nice banana kick under pressure from thirty out.
Dees trail 8-14
This half has so far been much longer kicks and more marking.
Daisy wins 60 out and sets up Bannan to run into goal.
14-14
I still don’t believe Bannan is 19 and not 29.
The other Pearce grabs it from the ruck, takes a few steps, and bangs it through.
20-14 for the Dees
Totally different game this quarter. Still some great tackles, though.
Bears running into goal, fumble under pressure, and have to settle for a point.
20-15 they trail
Ooooh!
Dribble kick from the point post squeezes under multiple Bears defenders to goal.
26-15 the Dees have the biggest margin of the game.
I’d just like Melbourne and Casey to lose some bloody matches.
4.25.26 the Dees lead the Bears 2.3.15 at the final break.
Boooo. Dees kick it off the ground out of a pack in the middle, and three of them are goal-side, with Bannan racking up another goal.
32-15
FFS Bodey.
First kick into a Dee, second kick right of the goal post.
32-16 with just under 10 minutes + time-on to go.
Goal assist to Ruby.
Come on.
32-22
Credit to the ump not letting the downed Bear be trampled.
Less credit for not punishing Paxman for the tunnel she did to cause that in the first place.
Need the ol’ seven-point-play NOW.
32-23
HURRY UP.
Bodey marks 30 out.
BANG!
32-29 with 36 seconds left…
Lots of funny buggers at the bounce – Melbourne get the free.
But lose the ball rapidly.
45 out, 13 seconds left.
done
Ump says NO.
Dees make the Grand Final, and now hope Freo somehow beats Adelaide.
5.3.33 defeats 4.5.29
Looks like Adelaide fans only turn up for Grand Finals, not preliminaries.
