QUARTER FOUR
- Porter hobbling a minute in, after Dojiok runs through her.
- 2:50 Azzopardi… brilliance, then capitulation. Goal conceded, we trail for the first time all game and OH ■■■■ WE’RE GONNA LOSE. Wales and MORCS look on, worried.
- It’s going to be a long 12 minutes until the next score, especially for the nuffie in the grandstand who now starts saying we have “one chance left” (many more than one times).
- 5:40 Dojiok beats Porter.
- Tag-team tackling at 8:00 and 8:50 rewarded. We are NOT going away!
- Yes, the Bowls Club is actually in action. Very rare.
- 11:50 Porter three botches in 13 seconds. Luckily, Werribee kick it out on the full.
- 12:35 BALL… yes! I loved this troppo crowd.
- Norf look more dangerous in this quarter than any other… but we scrap on.
- 15:30 Porter kicks straight to the Norf forward… who stumbles over the ball.
- 15:35 This time, Tassiopoulos commits and forces a stoppage.
- Prince tap to Sarah Ford, who squirts a quality handball out of the pack to Tassiopoulos. Emily’s kick is wonky but Richo beats multiple opponents and gets it to Plummner streaming down the spine. 55 metre “hack" kick,Tia keeps her feet, Tia kicks, TIA GOALS!!!
- I am so annoyed that the audio isn’t giving due credit to The Troppos.
- THREE MINUTES LEFT.
- Repeat pressure, out of bounds on our forward flank.
- TWO MINUTES LEFT.
- HANDY FREE. Could have been taking the legs, but the Norf player lazily whacked Melnikas in the head before body and legs could meet.
- Azzopardi and Plummer flailing their arms and screaming SLOW IT DOWN. Thirty seconds later, after Chaston intercept marks a Norf kick, they’re both doing that again. Chaston is motioning “push forward, create congestion for me to kick to”.
- ONE MINUTE LEFT.
- Richo does the long lead for the “easy” mark on the wing.
- Her kick hits a huge pack, and Abbey rips the Norf player to the ground for the stoppage.
- WE WIN, and the bench sprint out to celebrate.
