00:00Free kick to Braden Blake.
00:02Blake, free kick. Defensive side of the centre wing.
00:06He earns that the umpire know too, he wasn't happy with that decision.
00:09He goes wide, he finds Dennehy, hit him on the chest, this is Jed.
00:14Jed Dennehy, defensive side of centre wing, swimming pool side.
00:17Jed Dennehy, it's a 60, 65 metre ball, it goes into the forward pocket.
00:22McKenna was the target, he tracks the footy towards the boundary line.
00:25They keep it in play, little short pass,
00:28and hits the target. Johnson takes a mark.
00:32Tell me what happened there, Don Morant.
00:34He hasn't played on, has he? He has played on.
00:36No, he hasn't. Let's take a deep breath. It can't be.
00:39Umpire called time off. He did play on, but you're right.
00:41No, he's played the 50. He's played the 50 metre penalty.
00:44That was a bit brutal, that defensive play from Strath.
00:49And by hand, the kick was smothered.
00:52It goes to the hot spot. They've got numbers here.
00:55Short pass, will come out. He's marked that, Bernacchi.
00:59Bernacchi was at the fingertips, didn't allow it.
01:01Tell us what happened, Don Morant, as we'll have a ball up 40 from goal.
01:04Absolute worm burner exit, and Brad Bernacchi's actually dived and marked that.
01:09Hasn't been paid though. Umpire had a good spot,
01:11but must have hit the deck from where it was not to be paid.
01:14Bernacchi certainly thought it was a mark. He got up pleading his case.
01:16Riley Wilson-Hambles off to Clossie out of defence.
01:19Knocked forward for the storm. Shan will then clear the ball.
01:22It'll go down the wing. Dennehy will be first back to it for Gisborne.
01:25He should have a shot from here, seriously.
01:27He's a big booming kick of the footy, but he's probably 90 metres out from goal.
01:31Malcolm Blight might have had a shot if it was him.
01:33It spills out the back of the pack.
01:34He'll call it an assist as they dribble it towards goal.
01:37The dogs, and they put through the goal underneath the score.
01:40Ethan Featherby kicks it into Harvey in the back pocket,
01:44right in front of the scoreboard. 36 playing 21.
01:46Gisborne lead. Harvey plays on for the storm.
01:48Sends it beyond 50. It holds up in the breeze.
01:52Good strong mark that's taken by Jones on half-back.
01:54Jones wastes no time playing on, but it's straight to a pack of three dogs.
01:59And as a result, the free kick had to be given
02:01because it was Zach Charles who pushed his opponent directly underneath the footy.
02:05And it will be a free kick to Jack Reaper.
02:08Reaper just reaps a high ball towards centre-half forward.
02:11Jones goes up. Couldn't take it. Spills off hands.
02:14Now they'll get it to Clossie. Clossie's hairball spell out the back.
02:17Now the Gisborne Bulldogs look to play their turnover game and quickly get it moving.
02:21Flying shot from Dylan Johnson will go right to the line and he'll get the goal.
02:26Three goals now for Dylan Johnson.
02:29He's game for the storm. Defensive side of the centre circle.
02:32He'll spread it to right-half forward.
02:35They'll set themselves. Ernst with a fist in there.
02:37Bo Stevens runs under the footy. Slips over at an unopportune time.
02:42They dive on top of him and halfway between the centre-half forward.
02:45In fact, it's a free kick. It'll be holding the ball to Lakey.
02:48Probably pretty lucky to get away with it, I reckon.
02:50No, it's fair enough, I think.
02:51You reckon?
02:52Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a good tackle. He dragged it back in and then the second tackle followed up.
02:57So, I'm with the umpire on that one, John.
02:59A pair of sevens go at it as Flynn Lakey. The seven for the Dogs was the tackler.
03:03He then sends the kick out wide. Finds a teammate on the poolside wing.
03:06Short pass in-board to James Gray. Gray plays on quickly.
03:10Sends a spearing ball inside forward 50.
03:12Carries to the back of the pack. It works out to Dylan Johnson.
03:15Johnson snaps the goal on his left and bounces it through.
03:18Dylan Johnson's got... throw in.
03:21Right in front of us here in our broadcast position. 13-point lead to the Dogs.
03:25Ernst going into the ruck for the Storm.
03:29Dennehy going in for Gisborne. The ball went straight to Ernst.
03:32It was then handballed to Sheehan. Sheehan then sends it up towards centre-half forward.
03:36Mark not taking some appeals for being held by Berens.
03:39Didn't get it. Gisborne work it out to Clough.
03:42Clough gets it on the far wing. Now they're away through Vescovi.
03:45Vescovi. One bounce on the wing. He looks in-board to come corridor.
03:48It's a poor kick. He might cause a turnover here.
03:51Storm. Can they make and capitalise on it?
03:54But picked up very well by Luxmore of the Dogs.
03:57He goes to half forward. Merritt also getting involved.
04:00They'll emerge now. The Dogs will go goalward.
04:02It's Johnson. With Johnson. And he's put it through on the left.
04:07That's five. The Dogs through Johnson.
