Hamilton solid tackle gets her hands on it early good for the confidence Smith got to the right position and hung on straight in front should not [Applause] miss she's not going to waste an opportunity like that one she might just be in for a big day [Applause] the swans picking up where they left off last week morphett with a de tap Hurley ham in the right spot throws it on the boot defense 101 there Fitzpatrick runs onto it thought her way through it Smith Keen to get the ball moving how will the Umpire see this cop some unwanted attention bit of a nothing kick Veil doesn't often waste it laand has found some space Daren met solidly that's holding the footy she might have thought about the corridor Smith normally delivers giser couldn't quite Jacobson pounces on the loose ball they're moving the football well here Kelly is in the clear and marks uncontested this is an opportunity to settle some anxieties and get their teeth into the contest drop Punt and she has put it away that will do a confidence the world of good to start like [Applause] that both teams on the board now McKinnon smashes it out of there white she's drawn a crowd Dylan Grier she stopped in her tracks Smith patrios shoots for goal how's the kick no good well that was a promising buildup and deserved a better finish Hamilton to bring it in tarant on a lead morphett with a chance to run what she got on offer the swans moving the ball well picking their way through ham dangerous to leave her on her own cier clever kick Steen working hard and being rewarded that's skillful Newman on Center Wing she's been busy so far a real problem now this might be a chance for the High Flyers OT tries to spike it out of the danger zone patrios Smith she's generally a good kick quality delivery by foot probing ball [Applause] rer the Saints look well drilled no one can Mark and will have a throw in Daniel half it is down on the boundary half what you've got for us hopefully once these sides have a good look at each other the game will open up morphit showing her skills Dylan she's gone Kier no easy exit I think she called for that gets the kick away OT wins it back great Mark happy to be patient and wait for an opening patrios heads towards the half forward flank dargon with the big fist and out it goes neither side has really looked like piling on goals this one's a slow burn for now morphit got her Palm to it Hamilton can she find a teammate Clos to down stoppage coming up on the wing morphett with the tap Dylan a good kick here and they'll be in business Grier at half forward Smith Kelly can go back and shoot at go this would give them some breathing space bends it around the body that's on Target and through it goes two scoring shots two goals she'll be happy with [Applause] that the Saints are having a lot of the play and making it count Reynolds looking for territory STI ham good thinking and good execution too she's made a hot start to this game Hamilton searching kick Newman working hard and presenting well Kier ham the defense has fallen down Hurley has charged into space that's one for the highlights reel it's not a gimme goal but certainly one that should be [Applause] kicked there's the kick and she's put it through she's looking ominous already there might just be a big bag on offer [Applause] today it's only early I know but that was a much needed goal to stabilize the situation ner wins it out of the center white they've coughed it up Hamilton she doesn't waste many dargon the swans can build something here not the required Journey well played her vision was excellent this is great ball movement she'll fancy her chances can anyone take a mark no one can Mark priest has time and space she's got an option in the center Square no one can Mark ham only knows one way the Defenders will be nervous no one can Mark OT terrific forward pressure friend can keep it moving kicks to Center Wing V belts it clear Daren had some assistance STI gets her kick despite the heat loand has marked in front of goal I'll back her to drive this right through the middle looks good off the boot she's got it so important to get reward for effort on that occasion the Finish matched the quality of the work up field so the underdog throwing down the gauntlet you can feel their belief growing ner wins the hit out white what can she come up with here kicks to a contest Kelly could go back and put them in front she's got it right where you want it no excuse not to finish the job good looking kick that'll do it's a goal she's really set them align in that forward line playing that small forward roll [Applause] beautifully the Saints edging their way back in front as we near quarter time punched clear White Hand pass cut off STI can run and carry goodlooking kick Steen has a vice likee grip OT saw that coming she's so clean with the footy McDonald great vision there white delivers a long ball no one can mark Grier going at her first and she's got it typical small forwards goal there she's a real live wire inside 50 the Saints are up and about early Reynolds wins it Shephard got to go quickly time running out this is promising the great Spud forley would have loved that one you can never question her commitment for a boost just before the break very close that's what happens when you leave players in space inside 50 it hurts you on the the scoreboard the margins back to just a point great R work exen who's at home sheilo wins the contest hands down she's not on the board yet that should change here you'd think she'd kick this oh but you'd think wrong the mark deserved a goal but it wasn't a be tarant to bring it back in that's well played one quarter down it's been entertaining so far and there's little in it on the scoreboard time for some more insights from half on the boundary the standard hasn't been especially high but it's an absorbing contest nonetheless it feels like this game is there for the taking and both teams will believe that it's theirs to lose winning the ball out of the center is always key but you've also got to think clearly under pressure and make sure sure you take the correct options thanks for those observations half as we get back [Music] underway ner palmed it down beautifully exen turns it over in the middle balls Bills free in the tackle can she hit a Target well played this is what she gets paid to do kick these goals that's not coming back it wasn't her best effort some good work to create that shot on goal but unfortunately the Finish just let them down Hamilton tasked with the kick in tarant presents in Space the Saints guarding the corridor no one can mark and a moment for the players to catch their breath lots to analyze half what's stands out the swans are winning plenty of the ball but their efficiency with it has left a bit to be desired Reynolds wins the tap STI Hurley she's set upon she wouldn't take no for an answer she'll certainly feel that one Newman Shephard kicks inside the forward 50 priest is calm in a crisis the Saints under great pressure will the Umpire pluck a free Kick the Umpire will have it ner with the tap STI needs help she can put them in front and she does bit of momentum now that's two in a [Applause] row the swans have the edge but they're in a scrap don't worry about that ner wins the tap Dylan that'll be play on she's lost possession They're Going Hammer and Tong attracted to crowd white takes on the responsibility just needs to finish and finish he does they'll feel better now they in front and getting some reward on the scoreboard the goals are coming thick and fast this is great to watch ner with a de Tap White blasts Away Kelly has a way of drawing the footy she's three from three can she maintain a perfect record a simple finish and she makes no mistake four goals without a Miss no wonder they're looking for her when they go forward the Saints with a bit of breathing space now morphit with the tap they've got good chemistry those two Shephard they need a mark Fitzpatrick belts it clear can they work this ball out of Defense it's one for the High Flyers great hands there the swans have denied them the corridor Hamilton belts it clear cetti does well under pressure Hurley couldn't keep it in it'll be tossed back down at Ground half the swans are doing a lot right and they've got great belief they can win this match the longer they stay close the more that belief will grow white CAU some unwanted attention towards half forward with a kick exen it's a high ball sheilo had her name written all over it kicking at her first drop punt that'll be a goal never in doubt they produced a clinical finish there there to cap off a terrific passage of play it's a handy buff they [Applause] established ner wins the hit out this is a hotly contested footy Jacobson Dylan they cannot keep her quiet white what a game she's having she'd like to have that one back the swans might be able to start something STI has found some space Hurley can they get something going Vil her field kicking is normally first R Hamilton they're moving the football quickly no one can Mark heads ham what a hand pass pretelli heads towards goal but the kick is astray minor [Applause] score Jacobson tasks with the kick in friend marks in the back pocket you can see their confidence growing White they're playing with purpose and composure turned over on Center Wing the swans not at their best so far ham good kick zetti on a lead can she be the fire starter quality delivery by foot Daren goes laterally Fitzpatrick P it and lost it met solidly Dylan Under Pressure the swans forcing them out wide out bodied her opponent and took a ripper they've had the better of the contest to this point Vil crunching tackle turned over she'll be saw tomorrow Smith friend clears the area exen normally a good decision maker she stopped in her tracks OT no easy exit Fitzpatrick white the Saints are bringing great energy Dylan all alone in the center Square cier went bang Hurley she just keeps racking up disposals Shephard some people can't kick that far Newman stripped of it she's gone she had plenty of time some indirect ball movement here STI belts it clear Hurley in a hurry she's giving 100% they should have been going forward now they'll have to defend it's a tough game ball cries the crowd and the Umpire agrees that's not her best effort miss the Target by a long way the Saints are playing some great footy thumped away and they set out the swans are a big chance if they can just tidy up their disposal and decision making morphett showing her skills exen they'll be sore in the morning good penetration on the kick strong grab takes a beauty nothing better than to convert a big contested Mark into a [Applause] goal GZA gets a second I think this margin is more or less reflective of the difference in class between these sides so far the Saints have well and truly got the jump now ner slaps it out Dylan has brought her own ball sloppy hands and they've turned it over Shephard morphett gathers in the center Square Newman Vil the swans should score here pretelli can go back and shoot it goal should kick this more often than not has she got enough on it H belts it clear rushed over and they can [Applause] reset back into play friend works hard to present and they're away d belts it clear Anthony is a Dynamo Smith has a paddock in front of her the swans a chasing tail Eastman hits towards half forward friend judged the flight well lays it off patrios the Saints are white hot at the moment rer just has to hit a Target good disciplined defense gridge this will be another one they can do no wrong they managed to put quite a gap on the scoreboard this quter they've certainly got their tails up well if they weren't concerned before they should be now rxs go at it Hurley not a lot of space to work in STI friend accepted the invitation she got under that one wins it back great Mark good hand ball Vil can they find a late goal Hamilton has it at half forward the swans provided a great challenge in the first quarter but they weren't able to maintain in the second they'll need to regroup half's back what cour your eye half the swans will have their sight set on the first goal of the half they haven't really got going yet and part of their frustration is that they know they're capable of better ball movement and scoring goals in quick succession you just feel they're going to get momentum at some point and then it's a matter of what they do with it I'm inclined to agree thanks half [Music] [Applause] Morford wins it down Shephard STI going for territory OT showing why she's such a good Defender I've liked her game today she they're playing well ignoring the corridor for now Anderson Greg Williams would have been proud of that one McDonald it's no place for the faint-hearted we've got a whistle umpire's ball morphett gets her hand to it exen Smith that's good Vision Jacobson and out of play half what's caught your eye the swans have got to change it up because they're a bit too predictable at the moment morphit has rucked tily exen Dylan sheor they can smell Victory punched away dargon will keep coming she's drawn a crowd just as they were looking dangerous they've coughed up boot the ball just in time McDonald gets a good bounce they're well drilled Shephard belts it clear Steen she's kicked it high Hamilton goes back with the hand ball Vil kicks to half forward STI feeds it out Steen hurried kick goes very wide Newman stripped to the footy Anderson runs onto it closed it down lots to analyze Daniel what stands out the swans aren't getting full value for their inside 50s they need to tidy up their delivery to give their forwards the best chance exen Dylan good use of hands OT Smith Their ball movement has been impressive gridge patrios ner can she impose herself on the match this is a joy to watch the Saints are working harder at the present time and they're reaping the rewards that's offline I never really gave it a chance the swans are really struggling at the moment it's difficult to make a case for them Hamilton brings it back in honors the lead what can they generate good thinking and good execution too they've opened them up here Hamilton this is more positive Hurley privitelli she's done brilliantly Smith got to the right position and hung on she'll have to give it her all it'll take her best not looking likely a behind they're peppering the goals got to get some rewards soon OT heads wide with the kick in good work rate and they're out of trouble tarant with the intercept Mark the swans need to make Road soon well I suppose if you're going to turn it over that's not the worst place vessy Whatever She's suffering from it's not leather poisoning no one can mark the Saints are really on top in the clearances at the moment if that continues this match is only going one way punched clear patrios terrific tackle ner clean pickup vessy they've got them on the overlap Kelly demanded the footy and got it I'm not sure she's got the journey from [Applause] there kicks for goal lovely looking kick and she's drilled it the swans are on the ropes they need a spark before this one gets away from them the Saints have got it out to a six kick game and they're going to be very hard to stop vessy she will not give up ner she'll certainly feel that one they asked the question but the Umpire will have it great R work patrios heads desperate to win it back Shephard Hamilton is in a better position they desperately need this Smith gets to the drop and they'll get the goal in the end it'll take her best but we've seen her do it [Applause] before tries a check side but misses to the near side perhaps she should have looked to lay that one off she'd missed more of those than she'd kick back into play Stevens they've got winners all over the park vessy the Saints can smell blood Smith delivers to Cent half forward Sheila read it well and claims the mark who is she aiming for Anderson on the end of it they're cutting them up with their ball movement she hasn't got her name on the goal scorers list yet here's a good chance going for a first no one can Mark danger averted frantic defense away she goes tarant goes towards halfback Hurley presents in space Vale Newman they've worked it well how's the entry Reynolds has it within range Shephard they badly need a goal and she delivers a midfielder who consistently hits the scoreboard is a valuable commodity the swans haven't played great footy but they're hanging in there Shephard can send them deep into attack Smith competing fiercely they'll sweep this ball forward crosses the arc punched away Fitzpatrick brings it out wide priest gets to the front spot slick hands zenos that will go close to the line Shore takes the logical option long ball in Eastman belts it clear Kelly it's a goal the Saints looking every bit of top eight side at the moment it's not over yet but it might be soon ner wins it out of the center Dylan punched away Smith that's an aggressive hand ball patrios she's given it everything will it clear the line it's there if she wasn't such a big ball winner she'd make a very decent forward she's certainly got great goal sense the swans are right on the edge they desperately need to find something here NDA got her Palm to it Smith needing support patrios it's a amounted to nothing Reynolds kicks to space STI dishes it off heads for the pocket friend belts it clear Hamilton runs in and bangs it home better ball movement on that occasion allowed them to open up that opportunity in front of goal and they got full reward for it maybe there's a glimmer of hope just a glimmer can they get two in a row punched away cotelli looking to pull one back that's exactly what she's done well played a couple in a row and a little bit of momentum you sense the momentum has shifted NDA smashes it out of there Smith knew the tackle was coming morphit gets to it first steam Reynolds suddenly there's some belief about them citelli can she snap it goal nothing doing with the kick she's got it they've got to find a way to get her into the game we know how damaging she can [Applause] be the swans were on the rack it's been a quality response from them ner wins the hit out Hurley has been a Shining Light Hamilton steam the defense is disorganized Catelli has marked in front of goal H she deliver you back her more often than not how's the kick nothing wrong with that showing exactly why they want the ball in her [Applause] hands the swans with a late one on the verge of three4 time 3/4 time and still anyone's game time for the coaches to see if they can will their charges over the line let's head down to half on the boundary the swans are close enough to believe they can pull this out of the fire they've been second best for three quarters but that doesn't necessarily mean anything now one very good quarter of football and this match can yet be theirs expect them to keep coming whatever happens we'll see how it plays out thanks [Music] half no with a de tap Smith feeling the heat Jacobson it's a tough game not the required Journey towards the goal mouth that's a strong Mark she's got off the chain and is threatening to be the match [Applause] winner two already can she make it three you bet she can a case of two strong and two too good I don't think there was much more the defender could have done the Saints have steadied after they were challenged ner has had her measure today Smith vessy met solidly squeezes the kick she'll be saw tomorrow this deserves a goal it looks a well oiled forward line to make it effectively a fiveg goal [Applause] game liked it off the boot that's going close that wasn't an easy shot but she kicked it beautifully she'll take a lot of confidence from me the swans are in danger of being run over ner palmed it down beautifully Dylan Kier picks off the pass just waiting for the right moment to press go Eastman marks on Center Wing Anthony what can they build here Hamilton she's under close attention their appeals have fallen on deaf ears ner punches it out of the rck Hamilton attracted to crowd STI on the spot to lay the tackle not a lot of positives today punched away heads was she taken high no easy exit vessy they'll be sore in the morning the Saints finishing strongly Sheila that one was always hers ner it's Cent a half forward by hand dargon wins it back they've got it one but still they go sheilo this for three on the Trot and she steers it through their ball use has been first class they're able to keep the ball b in their opposition which makes life so much easier the swans have given up three in a row now the red light will be flashing in the coach's box NDA is giving her a bit of a bath Dylan she is everywhere at the moment vessy that's a quality hand pass not sure who that was meant for but it's been picked off Hamilton inside 50 with the kick pretelli had her name written all over it well played if she can steer this one through you just never know big chance here they need it oh but she's missed she'll be disappointed that was one she would have expected to convert a brings it back in Anderson works hard to present they've got time to put the kettle on no one can Mark gathers it cleanly on the Wing cop some unwanted attention zenos at Close Quarters the Saints look to be coming home strong Shore that's a bruising tackle could that have been holding the ball some thought it was but not the person who matters ner showing her skills White she's run into trouble just shoveled it out Smith great play punched away giser an everpresent threat what a game she's having she's drilled her fourth they've smashed the 100 and there's still time for more we thought this one might be close but it hasn't turned out that way Reynolds the winner there she's caught laand takes the hand pass Hamilton quality delivery by foot they need to hit the scoreboard here thumped away gridge runs onto it thought her way through it Smith delightfully done patrios kicks inside the forward 50 no one can Mark Kier she's got support Hamilton solid tackle tarant who's front and center Reynolds she's up this is promising throws it on the boot Smith can go back and shoot it go it's been a disappointing performance but she can paper over a crack or two here no problems there some good ball movement there created that opportunity and a cool finish as well the swans have been out played but they're hanging tough NDA palmed it down beautifully white she's set upon Jacobson Shore she's got it a real opportunist goal there she doesn't need a lot of the footy to make an impact the thing's well and truly gone out of this one ner has been dominant in the r vessy absorbs the pressure patrios will the Umpire pluck a free kick got to get it going forward now a good tackle they're going nowhere and we'll have a stoppage near the center punched clear white they're irrepressible at the moment gridge Smith this is great ball movement I just haven't had an answer for her nor for many of her teammates to be fair kicks it goal and that's straight over the goal umpire's hat the swans are in real danger of taking a big percentage hit now [Applause] The Saints Go on their merry way Reynolds palmed it down beautifully Shephard vessy clever kick they are a pleasure to watch they're still hungry even with the game put to bed that's a sign of a very good side she's normally dependable and she is this time they've been consistent ly able to find Avenues to go through quick and direct ball movement the Saints are looking irresistible NDA has rucked tirelessly exen vessy patrios they're hungry for more Jacobson drops into the hole and marks it's all just a bit easy at the moment they're getting the ball inside 50 under not nearly enough pressure to put an extra exclamation mark on a dominant win Reynolds taking no chances and finally over the line Hamilton to bring it back in tarant can keep it moving she's generally a good kick zenos belts it clear Shephard onto it and out it goes Rox go at it ex is cool Under Pressure they're leading them a merry dance Kelly that's a big play the Saints with a late [Applause] chance drop punt looks good and she's got it terrific goal there she's so dangerous in front of the sticks the Saints in this form would challenge any1 Reynolds the winner there it's no place for the faint-hearted vale she'll certainly feel that one they might be a little unlucky not to be rewarded there it was a fine tackle great Ru work she's besieged that sloppy play and it could come back to bite them STI Reynolds Shephard she's lost it gridge runs onto it ner she ran into a brick wall no way through that traffic so they'll reset Reynolds with the tap Shephard heads playing for pride [Applause] [Music] now the Saints are emphatic
