Carbone disposal 14 is a contested mark for Courtney Jones.
Misses.
1.5.11 leads 1.0.6
O’Neill destroys Gamble again. This set shot is further out.
Falls short, first indication there may be some wind.
Chaston doesn’t trust Gamble, comes over the top of the pack with a huge punch.
11-7
Chaston totally disrespecting their opponent; keeps sprinting forward when we get it.
Gamble thrown aside by O’Neill like a toy doll.
Somehow, SA miss the very very easy goal.
11-8
SA have dominated this quarter after that first minute.
In the closing seconds, our Stasia Stevenson runs 25m without being pinged, then misses the goals by 20 metres (out on the full).
Little bit of rain now, to make a second half blowout less likely.
Sansonetti double back to give Gamble a 2-on-1 chance not to lose.
SA looking sharp enough at the start of this quarter.
VIC forward structure still largely non-existent.
Local rules, lasso free to us inside our forward fifty.
And now Stella Reid trying to set shot on the sharp angle.
Yay, we “have” two goals.
1.6.12 leads 1.2.8
12-9
And a botched kick is perfect for the next SA lead from the goal square.
12-15, about 5 minutes left in this third quarter.
No Abbey, no Victoria.
Paige Price says “stuff this” and grabs the ball at the middle and gets it deep into our fifty.
SA panic and gives us a lasso set shot 10m from the point post.
Kavanagh slides across the face, mass pack milling over the ball.
Another panic kick and Price marks 30m out. Come onnnnnn…
Sprays it left.
13-15
Carbone reckless tackle then 25m penalty to release the pressure of these closing minutes.
Sun is out. El gets a boost from the commentators before the quarter starts. Is not mid.
Gamble defends well, then (I think) gets struck in the throat (accidentally).
