Or not? Morcom heads to half-back as usual.
Bezerk Thatcher, Ridley and Redman here.
Footscray playing an extra in defence. Will the umps zone free that out?
EDIT: playing a mid short?
Moreau tackle free, kick into mark, tackle free. Let’s try that again…
Radio 3RED(man) also broadcasting.
You gotta be close to hear it though.
Footscray has lost a player near our bench. Loooooong way to hobble off the ground…
No score this quarter, in our 44m arc.
Hardy been very busy today.
Special comments from Redman: “that was such a bullshit call” after a push is paid against us.
Footscray kick it out of the air in the square… and miss everything.
Last chance for the quarter?
Tackle, Ugle 45 metre kick touched on the line.
22-26, maybe
Contact 50 metres off the ball, our bench was screaming blooody murder. Paid.
EDIT: turns out it was Footscray failing to zone correctly.
Hetherington GOALS.
28-26 deep in REDMAN TIME.
And that’s three quarter time.
Hardy talking big and smiling big, can smell victory if her mids can do the job in the last. Get it forward, we will score.
1-2-3-Bombers!
We goal early but the ump says NO: throw paid against DeMatteo. Probably correct.
Hicks a Hartley-like punch to the boundary.
And Hicks follows up with a huge intercept and tackle to stop a score.
Neaves stops a huge run-on they got.
Ump in shortly afterwards to pay another throw, and shot at goal. Ugle (!) the pack mark on the line to maintain our lead.
Huge kick into the wind by them and we’ve got the close one…
28-27
28-28 !
Morecroft the push-off, lead and MARK.
Point!
29-28
