00:00And meet the storm, who will be out?
00:02It's Golden Square and Eagle Hawk.
00:04Daniels and Frost goes up,
00:05Daniels wins it down quite convincingly,
00:07then he roves his own ball,
00:09gets it knocked forward for Golden Square,
00:10Frost dives in after it,
00:12Daniels is still tracking hard after the footy,
00:15and goes in there for Eagle Hawk,
00:16Mullin goes diving after it as does Frost,
00:18it's handballed forward.
00:20Big pack of players around this one,
00:22eventually it's worked out of there by Billy Evans,
00:24who kicks the ball down at Darcy to Richards,
00:26good punch from Shelton,
00:27but it fell forward into McGregor's direction,
00:29he couldn't quite take it cleanly,
00:31Trouffle got the handball off to James,
00:33James was eaten, the umpire lets play go on,
00:35and we're 10 metres forward of centre,
00:37Golden Square in attack,
00:38kicking to the Barnard Street end,
00:40they're against the wind here in these conditions,
00:43pretty tough, going up in the ruck,
00:44Kai Daniels, he's doing well,
00:47ball spills out of Frost,
00:49Frost now merges with the footy,
00:50loses the footy, good strong tackling,
00:52Golden Square pinged,
00:53and Golden Square are on in this game this half.
00:55Eagle Hawk on this side of the ground.
00:57Yeah, really hard towards the boundary line,
00:59and if Strosch marks that, they're okay,
01:00but could force a turnover,
01:02Eaton emerges with the ball,
01:03handball's at forward,
01:04Tomer couldn't quite take it cleanly,
01:06Frost went through, just got boot to ball,
01:08he went backwards to go forwards,
01:09charging through for Eagle Hawk now will be Holmes,
01:12he couldn't quite clean it cleanly,
01:14spilling forward,
01:15Harry Kelly's in there for Golden Square,
01:17ball hits, and we'll have another ball up.
01:22Umpire ball it up now,
01:23we're on the wing, broadcast side,
01:26Daniels emerges with the dogs,
01:27he gives it up, it's a turnover,
01:29Billy Evans, handball forward,
01:30it was neat, 20 meters,
01:31goes to Calgary, down the corridor,
01:33it's a leap,
01:34Daniels knocks it down,
01:36Evans early for the dogs,
01:37puddled it forward,
01:38it's picked up now,
01:39and it'll be worked forward by Reeves,
01:40Reeves sends it up towards center half forward,
01:42comes off hands,
01:43back there for Eagle Hawk was O'Brien,
01:46Angove tried to emerge with it,
01:47Harry Kelly picked up the ball,
01:48he was tapped,
01:49says give it to me,
01:50eight point margin,
01:51the dogs trail,
01:53they're going to the Barnard Street end,
01:56which is a pretty tough end to kick goals from,
01:58one would think.
01:59Up they go in the ruck again,
02:00Neves, the ball spills towards the middle,
02:02and they're away,
02:04Mullin just dropped a footy he should have went away with,
02:06then he emerges,
02:07goes to Frost,
02:08Frost, very short pass,
02:10Bolger, Bolger,
02:11but it's spilt out to Reeves,
02:12Reeves gave the handball off before they picked the ball
02:14into the middle of the ground,
02:16going after it,
02:17Eaton couldn't quite take it,
02:18battling away,
02:19Thompson fires the handball forward,
02:21Mullin then picked it up cleanly on the half,
02:22Foley had time to emerge,
02:24he wheels around on the right,
02:25sends it in the Darcy Richards direction,
02:28so Ben Thompson has it dead smack in the middle,
02:29how about the barrel though from Clayton Holmes,
02:31straight out of full back,
02:32bring it back,
02:33Billy Evans takes the mark,
02:34and in these conditions,
02:35why wouldn't you just roost it down the middle like that,
02:37Evans has got it in the centre,
02:39Neves overran the footy,
02:40it goes inside,
02:41O'Shannessy will compete,
02:43ball spills to ground,
02:44flying shot out of there from Eagle Hawk,
02:46it's a goal,
02:49I didn't quite see it,
02:49might have been Tom Bennett that got the fast kick
02:51on that one,
02:53so Tommy Bennett gets the first goal for Eagle Hawk,
02:56square perspective,
02:57ball comes to ground,
02:58opportunist goal,
02:59just slot one through underneath a couple of hands,
03:02they certainly needed it I think Eagle Hawk.
03:04Back in the middle for the restart,
03:06up they go,
03:07it'll be Frost who wins the tap against Daniels,
03:09he tapped it to Evans,
03:10Evans tries to give it to Thompson,
03:13that's Ben Thompson at the back of the pack,
03:15but he gets collared,
03:17and we're still...
03:18Works out through Bennett,
03:19Bennett handball forward turnover,
03:21Freckleton emerges with it,
03:22handball's to Burke,
03:23Burke handball's to Strosch,
03:25and then Strosch kicks it straight to Ben Thompson,
03:27who thought Christmas had come early,
03:29as he takes an uncontested mark on his chest.
03:31Thompson,
03:32short pass forward,
03:33barely 15 metres,
03:34finds Bennett,
03:35Bulger rather,
03:37Bulger,
03:38he'll go into the middle and find Billy Evans,
03:39the skipper,
03:40he's going to have a shot,
03:43he's smack bang in the middle of the QEO,
03:45and if you're home listening,
03:47don't take this lightly,
03:48he hasn't got onto it and it's still gone a good 65 metres,
03:51it bounces inside forward 50,
03:53they make sure the Golden Square boys
03:55that it doesn't go through,
03:56and we're all finished for the first term here,
03:59at the QEO,
04:00we'll have a stoppage,
04:01we're all tied up,
04:02a lot of players around this footy,
04:04three playing 16,
04:05Golden Square trail 20 seconds gone,
04:09in the second term,
04:10bit breezy in the commentary box as well,
04:12by the sounds of it.
04:17Inside forward 50 here,
04:20handball by Geary went backwards,
04:22nothing doing,
04:23and we'll have a boundary throw in,
04:24Golden Square moved that,
04:25it didn't give Eaglehawk the chance,
04:26and Eaglehawk's forward 50,
04:28as we saw in the first quarter,
04:30clogged up every time they went forward,
04:32but then it was very open.
04:33Back in the middle now,
04:34Daniels wins the tap for the dogs,
04:36but Evans swooped on it for the borough,
04:38handball goes to Ben Thompson,
04:40Ben Thompson will go inside forward 50,
04:42looking for Richard,
04:43spills to the back of the pack,
04:45might be code.
04:46Golden Square conceded two goals against it,
04:48and they've now kicked two in the first six minutes
04:51of the second quarter,
04:52so a hot start for them.
04:54Eaglehawk have had plenty of the ball inside forward 50
04:56this quarter though, Jase.
04:57Yeah, it's interesting too,
04:58Rosengren from Golden Square's in the middle.
05:00Self had homed up this city end.
05:03Clayton Holmes kicked it in from fullback
05:04after playing on,
05:05McGlashan takes a mark,
05:06then hands it off to Evans,
05:08Evans on the left,
05:09they're moving it nicely now,
05:11Eaglehawk, Marsh getting involved,
05:12he kicks it to half forward,
05:14he finds Engove,
05:15Engove's off the head of Frost,
05:16good old fashioned Falcon,
05:18goes straight back up in the air.
05:21A lot of players around this footy,
05:22hard to really see who's got any clean possession
05:24on this one.
05:25In a wing position,
05:26umpire Carter,
05:28young David Carter,
05:29he'll quickly raise the ball up in the air,
05:30Sampson goes up for Eaglehawk and knocks it down.
05:34That's Rainer, I should say,
05:35going up in the ruck,
05:36and it goes down for a secondary ball up,
05:38they're about 80 metres out.
05:39Still across half back,
05:42Burra, short pass forward,
05:44Evans receives,
05:45still halfway between half back and the wing,
05:47now more central,
05:48they come in ball,
05:49they'll try to work something,
05:51they've got the runners,
05:52who will pick it up,
05:53it'll be Neves,
05:54Neves, well tackled by,
05:55made Golden Square take the kick again.
05:59In the forward zone now,
06:00for the Dogs,
06:03Tomer, got his hands on the footy,
06:05hand ball to the opposition,
06:06another turnover,
06:07on the end of it there was Sampson of the Dogs,
06:09goes goalward,
06:10and that was an opportunity missed,
06:12they were open,
06:13and it's another minor score.
06:14Dogs, they lead,
06:1531,
06:17no, we'll go to Thompson, will it?
06:18Yep.
06:19Ben Thompson's got the free kick,
06:21too far from home,
06:22short pass in the pocket of 30 metre ball,
06:24hits Mullin,
06:25Mullin, still too far,
06:27in fact it almost went laterally.
06:30Mullin's still 50 from home,
06:32Mullin now,
06:33tries to straighten things up,
06:34hits Billy Evans,
06:35and I'm still not confident he's close enough
06:36in these conditions, Jase.
06:38No, well the last shot that was for this area of the ground
06:41went hard left to right, didn't it?
06:42Towards the pool,
06:44the pool change room,
06:45so it's gonna take a heck of a kick to score from here.
06:48Halftime in the MC,
06:49D'Ere Finale,
06:50it is Harcourt, 5-2-32,
06:52leading Carisbrook two straight 12
06:53at Maryborough's Princess Park.
06:55Billy Evans,
06:56let's see what he can do.
06:58Oh, he starts it nice,
07:00and it goes as straight as an arrow on this occasion,
07:03the first time this afternoon,
07:05off the boot,
07:06you could see it was going to be a goal.
07:08So, Billy Evans,
07:09so Sampson will kick the ball inside forward,
07:1150 for Golden Square,
07:14waits for something to emerge,
07:15and sends it to the mass pack of players around,
07:17and it comes off hands.
07:19Billy Evans gets it,
07:20handball to Geary,
07:22Cal Geary,
07:23he clears it out of defense,
07:24it'll go up towards knee,
07:26handball into the middle of the ground,
07:28Cal Geary gave it off to Joel Mullen,
07:31in fact, Mullen then chips it short to Ben Thompson.
07:34Thompson's kick inside forward,
07:3550,
07:36founds its way into the hands of O'Shannessy,
07:37it was actually Billy Evans that had possession,
07:39and if they can make the most of this next 30 minutes
07:41without Clayton Holmes on the field,
07:43and that extra advantage,
07:44it could really go a long way
07:46seeing how this game finishes,
07:47as the free kick,
07:48no, umpire crosses his arms,
07:50says we'll ball it up,
07:50he's just a little bit hotter on that one
07:51than he has been at three quarter time.
07:54Neves does the ruck work,
07:55he's able to take it,
07:56send it inside forward,
07:5750,
07:58Evans dropped the mark,
07:59Freckleton got it,
07:59gave it off to Shelton,
08:00then Shelton tried to handball it,
08:02and he went out of bounds,
08:03boundary throw in underneath the scoreboard,
08:05we'll have a boundary throw in,
08:06two goal lead.
08:08It's going to be Neves who should take an uncontested mark,
08:11well I thought he had a mark,
08:12umpire said play on,
08:13it was more contested than uncontested,
08:15free kick for a high tackle,
08:16and it has gone,
08:18which way is it going?
08:19It's a golden square.
08:20Going to golden square.
08:22So, um,
08:23and when we say fight though,
08:24there's nothing really,
08:25it's not like the old school,
08:26malicious punches from behind,
08:28it's just really good hard strong stuffers.
08:31The ball is in dispute,
08:33it's in front of the change rooms.
08:36It fell nicely in the end for Benny Thompson,
08:38Benny Thompson's little dinky kick
08:39worked out okay for Evans,
08:41he was caught high,
08:42free kick, yes.
08:43So Evans will take possession of the ball,
08:45he's on center wing for Eagle Hawk,
08:47can go short to Ben Thompson if he wants it,
08:49decides to go longer,
08:50a good option to a hard leading McGlashan,
08:52McGlashan hand balls off,
08:53Thompson will then fire the kick inside,
08:55forward 50,
08:56Richards gets to the back of the pack,
08:57fly from Geary,
08:5811 points,
08:59deep, deep, deep into the third quarter.
09:02We might joke about a few of those little wrestles
09:03and fights off the ball,
09:04but that's um,
09:05that's taken a fair bit of energy out of the player,
09:06so this could really open up in the last quarter.
09:09So it'll be Frost,
09:10a double handed tap to Evans of Eagle Hawk,
09:12I'll maintain possession,
09:13it goes to Angove,
09:14a little bit of a fumble at the inopportune time,
09:17Richards who's been hard at the footy,
09:19tries to make a par,
09:2028 and a half gone,
09:21local footy lives at Fresh Bendigo.
09:23Stross takes the short option to Kelly,
09:25then Kelly will run off with the footy
09:26after taking his 15 seconds,
09:28sends it down in the Monty direction,
09:29and Monty's given away a free kick,
09:31got over the shoulder of Jack Thompson,
09:34I reckon he played it well,
09:35Jack Thompson,
09:36he'll then send it into the hot spot,
09:37it carries over the back of the pack,
09:38couldn't quite take the mark,
09:39Mullen Frost emerges with the footy,
09:41couldn't quite take it,
09:42and now a golden square emerged through Daniels,
09:44Daniels' handball was under a little bit of pressure though,
09:46Monty couldn't take it,
09:48spills out,
09:48now it's in the hands of Evans,
09:50Evans will fire goal,
09:51it's Evans from the centre of the goals!
09:55Well it looked like a goal to me,
09:56but it's, oh it's flicked the post.
09:58I'm probably in prime position to call that,
10:01but geez Louise,
10:03must have a ball up.
10:05Yes that was better than the last quarter,
10:07at least Eagle Hawk had somebody behind the pack then.
10:10Now last line of defence,
10:11it comes off hands,
10:15trying to snap it over his head was Rayner,
10:17came out to Evans,
10:18Evans fires the handball out,
10:19and happy to see it across the boundary line was McGregor.
10:23Clayton Holmes back on the ground too.
10:24Yeah he had 21.
10:25Frost running in the same haircut today,
10:28as we'll kick them all in.
10:30Clearing it out,
10:31mark taken,
10:33underneath the scoreboard,
10:34Evans,
10:35big player that can lift and get Eagle Hawk up
10:37in this final quarter,
10:38been good today though Evans,
10:40short pass back to Frost,
10:42Frost takes the mark,
10:43just inside defence,
10:44he can switch if he wants to,
10:46decides not to,
10:47he chips the.
10:48It's been pretty good this afternoon,
10:49there's a bit of sun here,
10:50and it's actually relatively still compared to what it was,
10:53so maybe Eagle Hawk have still got a chance,
10:56they're only trailing by 15,
10:57as the balls forward of centre for them,
10:59but it'll be one by Golden Square,
11:01it was Reeves to Trelthal.
11:05I'll have to bring up mum and get her
11:06to get me a spare pair of jocks after that.
11:08Looks like an ear,
11:09my eardrums have been perforated I reckon.
11:11Frost is going to get the free kick,
11:13but it'll be taken to Evans,
11:15so Evans will chip the short pass,
11:17a little dangerous kick,
11:17but made it look okay,
11:19Joel Mullin,
11:2055 out from goal is Joel Mullin,
11:22he'll wheel around on his right foot,
11:24go looking in.
11:25Eagle Hawk in attack,
11:25stoppage,
11:26ball up,
11:27up they go,
11:28Clayton Holmes does the ruck work,
11:29Westcott swoops on it,
11:31there for Golden Square,
11:32ball spills now,
11:33turnover,
11:34Billy Evans,
11:35Evans on the left,
11:36short pass,
11:36Calgary,
11:37Calgary receives,
11:39it's too far from home,
11:40he'll put it inside,
11:40forward 50,
11:41good strong hard lead,
11:42Darcy Richards takes a mark.
11:43That's two goals in about two minutes,
11:46and Eagle Hawk right back in this contest,
11:49and good thinking by Frost,
11:51ball on the ground in front of him,
11:52left foot,
11:53and he dribbled it through.
11:55Probably still plenty of time left in this one,
11:57they'll get the clearance as well here,
11:58Tommy Bennett emerges with it,
12:00fires the kick out wide,
12:01good little bounce,
12:02it bounces over Ango's head though,
12:04but it spills out for Eagle Hawk,
12:05now for Golden Square,
12:06which is not ideal,
12:08we need to get up the other end,
12:09Barnard Street end,
12:10Thompson might assist with that,
12:11Evans,
12:12back to Thompson by hand,
12:13to Sam Thompson,
12:14they're defensive zone.
12:17To the city end,
12:1875 playing 51,
12:20the Dogs will win this one,
12:22and it will be another stoppage here
12:24as Stewart takes possession,
12:26and this time we're 52 metres out
12:28from Golden Square's goal.
12:29Games for Golden Square,
12:31and being one of their better
12:34servicemen across half back,
12:36Eaton handballs it back to Tomer,
12:38Tomer sends it to centre half forward,
12:39it's Sam O'Shannessy for Eagle Hawk.
12:41He's on his defensive arc of 50 for the borough,
12:4455 out from goal,
12:48Daniels knocks it down,
12:49there can't be too long left in this game,
12:50Rosengren knocks it forward for Golden Square,
12:52it was partially smothered,
12:54Evans then receives the ball,
12:56and his kick was partially smothered as well,
12:5830 minutes have now ticked over in this last quarter,
13:00it's a 24.
13:01Week ahead,
13:02another big weekend next weekend,
13:03Bendigo footballers,
13:04Frost wins the tap there for Eagle Hawk.
13:08Ground level,
13:09James getting his hands on the footy.
13:11Still in dispute.
