00:00Netball grand final season 2024. Blake wins it, gives it to Johnson, sharing it around.
00:04Bernacchi to Leakey. Leakey spreads it wide. They're just racking up possessions here.
00:10The Dogs. Ball is with Gray. Short pass. Did it go the required distance? It did. Leakey's out now.
00:17He's on half forward. Short pass forward to Kemper. Hits him up. 50 from goal and the first shot at
00:22goal will go to Gisborne to the Barnard Street end. Those mids from Gisborne. Leakey, Leakey
00:27with the footy there at the end of it. Bernacchi that started it. That's um that's what we were
00:31just asking for. I'll chip the short pass. It'll be marked by Leakey. Come forward Gisborne. Leakey's
00:42going to slow things down. Moving on ahead of the footy. Down the line he goes. Big pack of players
00:51fly and no mark taken. Out of bounds for a boundary throw in. Out of sight. A little bit of a lull in
00:56play. 10 minutes gone. Doing the rack work. Will be Scanlon for the Dogs. Sexton wins the tap.
01:05Overrung the footy there was Schapano for the Dogs. Up against the boundary line. Over it goes.
01:11And across half forward will be a ball in. That was unrealistic in my eyes. He was up and down
01:15before uh the ball got even got there. Pye didn't agree though. So we play on. It's uh by the Dogs.
01:21They'll uh work through Merrick. Merrick by hand gives it to Cardillo. Ball to Hood. He couldn't
01:25quite control it. Hood's being taken away by two Dogs. In there it comes out wide. Now they go back
01:31to Blake. Blake will then send it up towards forward 50. A little bit over the top. Now they're
01:37going to be away through Walsh. Walsh turns and goes. Inside to Green. It was at his ankles. Made
01:42him work. Green keeps his feet. Then he's besieged. Good strong tackling. Umpire lets it go. Hurry
01:48kick from the Dogs defensively and they'll put it into the middle. Into the middle they do and
01:51it's marked right in the middle. Stag is still out there. Swoops on the footy. Then he fumbles it.
01:56He's at ground level. Taps it. Now we're on left half forward. Lakey does well. He wins it for the
02:01Dogs. Causes a turnover to Johnson. Straight in. Dogs looking at getting another one in the board
02:07before quarter time. Up they go in the rake. Uh Ruck. Hood swoops on the footy for the Dragons.
02:12Poor handball over the top. He coughed it up. He gave it to Lakey. Series of handballs ends up with
02:17McKenna. On the left. To the top of the square. Dragons need to. Or did well. Umpire let it go.
02:23Lord with the footy. Gives it back to Lakey by hand. An awkward looking ball beyond 50.
02:28And right up the ground is McKenna. Working hard. Might get one for too hard. Bell Bartels
02:33for the Dogs. It will be. And uh his first possession of the afternoon in the defensive arc.
02:40Dennehy. He'll put it over the top. It's okay. The ball is spread wide. Running onto the footy
02:47will be Burke. Picks it up for the Dogs. Handball to a running uh teammate in Johnson. Johnson's
02:52short inside. Well he tried to go inside. Rounding up umpire. Wastes no time throwing the ball back
02:57into play. Sexton. Taju. Gave it off to Maxted. Maxted's handball went straight to Lakey though.
03:06Lakey emerged into space and then set uh cool. Maxted actually almost sharked it. Got into the
03:11middle. Gave it to Curnow. Curnow off to the run and Smith. Smith goes out wide. Good looking ball
03:16towards center half forward. Pulprat then tried to trap it at the ground. Put it down the throat
03:21of the opposition in Tadru. He was strongly tackled. Punching the ball forward now will be
03:25Stagg. He goes around in a half-cent circle which is a quarter circle if you're wondering. Now it's
03:30still at ground level. It is isn't it? It feels like Matt's under pressure. By the umpire right in
03:36front of us. Gentleman cam giving it to me. I couldn't be any closer. The ball was allowed to
03:40bounce. Blake over around the footy. Now to be Walsh to the Dragons. Handball forward to Tadru.
03:45Goes around the body. Awkward looking kick looking for Wilkinson. Curnow offered support but his
03:49handball was too severe. Causes a turnover. And we'll have another ball up just inside forward.
03:5420 meters out from goal. Umpire will throw it up. Blake won the footy. In fact it was Scanlon
04:02down there in the forward zone. Lynch is also down there. Great across the top of the ball and
04:09works at the boundary line really well. Ozak Ruff of course already has a medallion today. Coaches
04:14the under 18s to apprenticeship ball this morning. Free kick inside. Forward 50s going to Gisborne.
04:19You can see what that one was for. Did we see what that was down there for at down level Michael?
04:24Yeah I did. It was Zach Paulpert getting a bit of a hard time of it from some of the Gisborne
04:30players as well. He's just slipped as he tried to push off. Just slipped above the neck there
04:35of Flynn Lakey. You're right behind Flynn Lakey down there. What's the breeze like at the moment?
04:40It's not too bad to be perfectly honest. There's not a lot of it here. It's protected nicely by
04:44the by the grandstand but where he's kicking from it might be a bit open. So Flynn Lakey
04:49on a slight angle to the right of the goals he'll kick it from 50 meters and he puts it to the right
04:54through for a minor score and they move to four goals two out. Sun is beaming here at the QEO.
05:02Kurno is in the ruck. Coghlan starting to get his hands on the footy. Tries to emerge with the footy
05:06and he just fumbled it. Bernacchi said I'll take the footy then he lost it. Coming through the
05:11middle will be Tardrew. He hand balls over turnover. Spear nicely. It's gone in the second quarter and
05:16we've got a really good game of footy on our hands. A big second half is promised for this one.
05:21Blake knocked it down. Lakey then emerged with the footy. He just kicked it forward though.
05:26Bounces away from Wilkinson. Stayed in play for Isaac Ruff. Ruff hand balls to Connick. Then Connick
05:31tried to give it back to Wilkinson and that boundary line wins out as it so often does. We'll
05:36have a boundary throw in on the poolside wing. Center wing position. Interesting watch. So there's
05:40a few Sanders players that got off on odd occasions today. Viscovi's doing a good job on green down
05:45there as Tardew emerges with the footy out of the contest. Had to hand ball forward. It's taken by
05:50he's taken in a strong tackle over the boundary line. And of course a lot of Sanders players
05:56behind and the Red Ends players behind the goals were signaling that it should have been
06:00the latter of the two free kicks but it wasn't. So Gisbon will then ship the short pass
06:05through Lakey. Lakey out to Spear. So Spear's in defender. Back in the middle we go. Bernacchi
06:14taken by Tardew. Spills out to Lakey. Lakey sends it up towards an R4. Dennehy comes charging out.
06:20Had it all on the chest but he spilt it when he hit the ground. Second effort was good to
06:24Macklin Lord. Lord's handball went wide. Down the grandstand side wings Spear. Blake's the target
06:29down there. It'll hit the back of the pack for Tardew. Handball forward. Not sure it was an
06:33interesting handball by Cooper Smith but it spills out wide. Going through Darcy Mills laying the
06:38tackle. Tardew's everywhere at the moment. Fires the handball forward. Taken by Bernacchi. One
06:44Mickelson medal winner to another Mickelson medal winner there. They both tied this year. Sexton
06:48went off the ground. Free then tried to get out of the way but ended up getting in the way and
06:52it's knocked down for a ball up. Down at ground level Michael Van Dorsum. The ground looked like
06:58he went through a concussion protocol test and passed so he's okay and he's back out on the
07:03ground. Across half forward now we'll have another stoppage. Seems to be a lot of injuries going on
07:10down there Michael but uh nothing. Two minutes of Bendigo footy for 2024. Blake wins the hit down
07:17but it's sharked and banged forward by Noel Walsh. Inside forward 50 dead at Dennehy. Got to the back
07:22couldn't quite take the mark spilled away from him. Backstanding him will compete for the battle.
07:26That's been a fascinating contest. Bernacchi gets there first. Handball out in front of Lakey and
07:32Lakey Merritt. They both went the same ball there and eventually it spilled
07:36and umpire has blown. Was it a free kick or a ball up? Holding the ball free kick I think.
07:44Not sure on that one but it'll be a free kick for the Dragons. They'll quickly send it inside
07:48forward. Big fly from Yurito. Walsh is in there up against Macklin Lord. Sexton thought he was
07:55claimed high. Bell Bartels went in after the footy as did Lakey. We'll have another ball up. They've
08:01progressed it 10 meters further forward towards goal. Wind look like it's starting to roll near
08:07the end of the grandstand. It's uh blowing quite heavily out that way at the moment.
08:12Favoring the right hand side of ground Michael. Yeah if anything just. Probably more towards the
08:17scoreboard than the actual goals. Knocked down inside forward 50. Lakey handballs off to Vescovi.
08:22Vescovi will straddle the boundary line looking for Bernacchi. Well I think he was also quite
08:27content to see it over the boundary line for Abeth. Probably not a bad um Sanders haven't been
08:32able to score so Gisborne has taken a bit of time off the clock here and the wind is favoring this
08:36end a little bit. That's probably um going to be their favorite. Dragons in attack. City end. Lakey
08:44handball to Spear. Spear an up and under awkward ball. It'll go beyond 50. Zach Danahy did well
08:50ground level. Sees it over the boundary. They go in the ruck. Blake tapped it to and then backed up
08:56his own footy. Handball to Lakey. Lakey to Cardillo. Cardillo now. They're working uh nicely.
09:02Fantastic. Dragons just don't need to get sucked in and just go into their shells. Just keep playing
09:07the way they are. Long ball inside forward 50. Green was the target. Shovel out by Hood. Lakey
09:12did well. Oh they're under serious pressure here now. Paul Prepp will pick it up. Has a snap at goal
09:18but just hurry. Big flight. Connick couldn't take it down. Spilled out to Luxmore. Barely called him
09:24today. Luxmore. Handball over the top and kick out of bounds on the floor by Flynn Lakey
09:31and it will be a Sandhurst free kick center wing position. The kick was out of bounds on
09:35the floor. 28th on third quarter. 34 playing 61. Kicks it 30 meters down the line. The ball is
09:42still in play. Smith hands and knees. Lakey involved. Burke as well. Handball to Danahy.
09:50Unposed. And also so Gisborne have got the A grade netball flag. It'll be Bernacchi that'll
09:55send them inside forward 50. So they won't go home empty-handed today. The Gisborne Bulldogs.
10:01Can they get the footy as well? His kick inside forward 50 looking for James Gray. Just didn't
10:06quite get to him and it goes out of bounds for a boundary throw in and I tell you what for the
10:10amount of times we've seen these off the field pushes played today they're still persisting
10:13with it both sides Jason. It's a grand final. I think there's uh heightened emotions out there
10:18that spills over into the occasional undisciplined. So throw in. Boundary side. You'd hate to give
10:25away a goal from something like that in the last quarter of the game. Tardieu handball out.
10:29Maxted's kick smothered. Knock forward for the Dogs. Going through to with Danahy. Danahy
10:35gave it to Lakey. Lakey bends the ball back around on his right and kicks the first goal of final
10:40quarter and it's game on at the QEO. And as it will be another stoppage the ball moves two meters
10:48forward of center in the direction of gold. City in which Gisborne are attacking. Blake wins the
10:56tap. Wouldn't it be interesting that they get a quick goal here. They'll win it through Bell Bartels
11:01out of the middle around the body. Didn't really look in the area. Bounces. It'll be Johnson for
11:07the Dogs. Getting his hands on the football was green. Couldn't win possession. The
11:13ball spills wide. Spear punches it. No clear winner. Eurata ground level. Did well. Might
11:20have been held without the footy. Umpire lets it go. Wasn't quite like Joel Wharton last week but
11:26similar type scenario. Ainsworth. Little handball to a teammate for the Dogs. It's a fumble. Now it
11:32goes to the boundary line. Good defense slides over the boundary line. Ball in hand. Boundary
11:37throwing 55 meters out from goal. We're just about to hit that 20th minute and they still
11:42trail by 10 points. A two kick margin. Blake taps it nicely. Spear was his target. Lakey was there
11:50as well. They'll turn it over. Green. Handball forward. Walsh getting involved. Handball. Oh
11:56it's all right. Eurata has come to. It's a fresh airy. You'd be counted as a shot if you're playing
12:02golf. Gets a free kick for Hines. And gets a free kick. Eurata now. Out of side wing. The bench at
12:10the moment which is uh unbelievable for this situation. It's a big call you've made that
12:14Bryce Curnow is on the bench for the dying minutes. Lakey got it backwards. They paddle it forward
12:20the Dogs. They couldn't. Johnson tried to make a path for the Dogs on the right half forward.
12:25Hey that ball in boys is helpful for Sandhurst. Curnow was able to get back on the field there
12:30and he's up against the captain in Reaper. Good call coach down at the boundary line.
12:34Lakey. Hand below the top. Bernacchi clever. Gives it to Lynch with a tap. Shallow inside
12:39forward 50. Saving that by Jones. The premiership we just do not know Johnny Hunter. It's on the
12:47wing. Four point margin. Sandhurst lead. 32 minutes and 30 seconds in this grand final.
12:53Stoppage. Ball up. Suits Sandhurst.
