00:00 Crack ring with the one-two back off Polkinghorn. High up and under kick back into attack.
00:04 Players set themselves. Nearly a mark and or free kick. The umpire's gonna pay it.
00:08 It's gonna go the Roosters way. They'll go back and have a shot on goal directly in front.
00:14 Grand final. Quick comes in from 20 metres out and the superstar doesn't make the stop.
00:18 Trying to clear the kick with a high ball. Umpire will pay the mark.
00:21 Roman Lynch reaching over the top. Couldn't quite take it. Umpire's picked their free kick though
00:25 for a hold. It's gonna come back for another shot on goal the way of North Ballarat.
00:31 This time about 35 metres out. It was Polkinghorn the man coming in from the side and told you a
00:36 good view of the one. Just had arms wrapped around him. So Polkinghorn starts his approach.
00:40 Kick is on its way and the goal umpire does not have to move. It's the perfect start.
00:45 Dreamland for North Ballarat. Now called the play on and lowers the eyes towards full foot.
00:50 Look at the Meyers. Got him. Through that high forward rather than bomb the ball into Hobbs.
00:55 So Billy Meyers to get the Devils on the score sheet for the first time today.
00:58 Comes in with the right foot kick and squeezes it home.
01:03 Daly kicking to the left of screen to start things here. McCallum just takes it out of the
01:07 rack and dumps it out of the D50. Glover likes to go off the ground as the kick didn't favour him.
01:11 Running through nicely. It was loaded with the right foot kick towards half forward.
01:14 Have they slipped at the back. Bouncing ball was set for quick. Dribbling kick on goal as they go
01:19 end to end. Fell back into his hands. Awkward looking hand pass to Peely who'd lowered the eyes.
01:25 And found Joel Cadman who took an ice mark through traffic and will go back and have a shot on goal
01:31 and a chance to narrow the margin back to 48 points ahead of the opening quarter.
01:36 That worked out beautifully there for the Devils. Able to get the turnover off that half forward
01:40 line and North Ballarat caught in defence and it's worked out well here for the Devils.
01:45 Once again Brett Beely involved in the chain as Cadman starts his approach on the goal phase.
01:50 Right foot kick coming from 48 and the umpire does not move. He loved it off the boots. The opening
01:56 turn Bishop by hand. Opportunity here for Azaparte. He tried to get it back around to his right side
02:01 but the stray left arm cocked him high. In season 2023. None more important than this shot on goal.
02:07 Dying moments opening term. Gets plenty on the ball. How's the accuracy. He likes it off the
02:12 boot. He loves the goal and the Devils are back in it here at City Oval. The Dents couldn't take
02:17 the mark. Azaparte did the sharky. Set the ball into attack at Cousins. To put Daly in front for
02:24 the first time today. Bends it around the body. All class. And snaps truly. And right from square
02:30 and quick from Sparkman in the righting direction. Had to stop and prop. Went to go but fell and went
02:34 to ground. But got onto that left boot. Send it into the danger zone and Glover's got it.
02:40 Front on contact and all marked. Spade or free kick either way. North Ballarat shot on goal
02:45 coming pretty much directly in front. He doesn't miss there. He's sending Glover and he puts North
02:49 Ballarat back in front. Again Leonard high kick will go inside. 50. Cranberry at the back. Rhett
02:54 in front. Cranberry to the front. Important shot on goal for the experienced shoe Cranberry.
02:59 Two snaps. Stop. Props. And kicks a goal. And North Ballarat are back to an opening on. Got it to
03:07 par. Bromley left shoot. Found Lamb who found righting. Inside 50 from 45 on a 45 degree angle
03:13 to make a three in a row for the Roosters. And he's got it. Jack Riding. Big finish from Riding.
03:19 On there. Almost a mark to loader. Handball by Glover over top the poking on. Gives off the
03:23 Cranberry for the perfect start. Shoe Cranberry pops it through with the outside of the boots.
03:28 Successful side in the last 15 years. Arts went short and found Cranberry who's been on song for
03:33 the most part of the afternoon. Back to back ones in as many minutes. He comes in from 48.
03:39 And the goal umpire didn't move a centimeter. Not to page on the bounce to Denham. Had Brett
03:44 running past but he went long to Johnson. Opportunities from the set shot. Comes in.
03:50 Right foot kicks on its way. And bends his way back enough. Along the line. Did he keep it in?
03:56 Bounce. Favour the big fella Ippi. Over the top to Darcy Matricardi. Went on to the left boot.
04:03 To an open forward line. Foot race on. Will Loverson get a hand on the ball? I don't think he did.
04:09 He got a horrible bounce. And the ball bounce truly and the Devils get another.
04:14 Good to go. Hits the hot spot with a kick. Beaulieu from the side.
04:19 Clear his forte. Shows he's got all the tricks in the book. And what he does so well is capitalizes
04:26 on the score sheet. The Devils get three in a row here. Just in there and he found Leonard.
04:31 Left foot raking kick. Towards the top. The goal is wet. Glover's got the sit. And he's got it.
04:35 For the instant response. The Devils and Glover to respond. Comes in. Keeps it low as he always
04:41 does. And punches it through the big sticks. Was right to the line. Loverson elected to keep it
04:46 in with the tap towards Loader. Now Johnson. Did he get one high? On point the spot said. Yes.
04:52 And free kick will go the way.
04:57 Johnson. Right foot snap. Is good. Opening goal. The final term goes the way of the Devils.
05:03 Cramory trying to bust his way through. Hand pass on hands and knees. It was more towards space than
05:08 anything from the Devils. Diving in is Carey. Trying to shove it in the hand pass. Umpires
05:13 picked out a hold. North Ballarat family name. Right foot kick. How's the accuracy? The crowd
05:21 like it. Did he get the journey? I don't think he's got it. To Young. And they just tumble the
05:26 kick forward. Good use of the body by Myers. Needs to kick the goal but went in board by hand. Joel
05:33 Cadman can run into an open goal. Pen Level English is one of those. Went searching to cousins. He's
05:40 on his left. Kick to the top of the square and Cadman's got it. Towards the top of the goal
05:46 square. Found the target in Cadman. To come in for number three. Oh it's a grandstand finish here
05:53 ladies and gentlemen. Live at the City Oval. Cadman kicks his third. Final on the line.
05:58 Ground ball. Chance for Troon. Tackled. Ping. Held the umpire duty. Oh my goodness. Who takes the
06:07 kick? There's a lot of players there. In the hands of Billy Myers. He comes in and pops it.
06:14 but right up against it!
06:16 (crowd cheering)
