ton of footy last week goes long down the wing to a contest bade have numbers one of those his Co measures a short one to mck ER adade almost almost all the possessions so far goes long to Harvey had to come from one back did well to make a contest pack forms we have a ball up just inside 50 Mitch Harvey will be enjoying a run at full forward it's usually first rock of course Doyle one spills to Anderson beautiful hands to Becka nice runoff halfback he kicks long to a contest mcfadin used the body well did everything but take the mark minini kicks wide where he has zealite who takes a nice relieving mark zey from halfback will come down the grand side locky grub in front of Paige takes a strong grab in front of the blue supporters double blue supporters wants to switch goes back to fringle with the silent P to the outerside Hilder playing in defense Russel will work it around the outer sight getting a hand in there with Snelling almost intercepting it wig Hamil's back to spener spena grubbly little handall Hoy taken hard by fa Sparks umpire called play on said it was fair enough bat as be over the footy he can't pick it up either so St player down there I think it's will Snelling I'll get you to to keep an eye on that Tim where the ball goes inside 50 Edmunds tapped it to his own Advantage Kick Back Down the Line it's close to the boundary and forced over the line was Will Snelling indeed he looks all right though got a nice nudge from magor there solid bump solid bump so boundary throwing in front of the sful super match paraphernalia out there lots of kids enjoying the sunshine giving away fre footies out there as well your kids will be out there for sure would they both collected a footy already B they've done well centering ball from D to teely St do this so well through the corridor Well Done by fringle attacked it nicely Becca lays a good tackle we have a ball up real arm wrestle so far no team really able to get any good forward entry zey found himself alone gets it back from the big Ruckman in Hoy now sends North forward loia Juni and ilman ilman first to the foot he did really well to find kumas kick to a contest on Center Wing Kum Mae hurried kick only as far as ilman little scrappy early here at Prospect by thems just finding their feet this guy finds his feet mostly it's Casey Voss wider to Edmonds Edmonds he's uh something he likes out on the wing and that is Cony first time we've seen him looking forward to uh seeing how he goes and first up hits Josh H on the lead Hon's marked it just inside 50 and we'll have to kick from outside 5050 good strong lead though and a perfect kick right in front of Josh hon who kicked two goals three last week but one of those two was an absolute Ripper goal of the week I think from memory would have loved it too Joshy H confidently walking back taking his time pretty sure he's got the distance here especially early in the game nice and fresh no real anger he's straight in front will kick from 51 M tried to get some extra distance pulled it across the face stayed in play Richards tried to gather the footy now he's under pressure great tackle spener and the Umpire will come in and ball it up goal saver by Spa there nice tackle Richards is a super dangerous small forward face barks unopposed takes it out of the Rock left foot snap fringle on the goal line back the mark finds magor his first lead game of the year today finds wig Harry wig looking to switch play here has spena just off the bench is wisman it's going to end up with hu and whisman elected not to bounce he kicks long but again an untidy kick forward straight into the hands of Ed Walter want to go short Perez that's was a disappointing result North fans bit frustrated wide to Casey boss once the bounce gets it hble back inside to Doyle flat kick to half forward Matthews tried to gather it on the half volley to carry Henry kry hases a 360 Richards just couldn't get the fingernails underneath that ball and umpire will come in and ball it up just on the paint of 50 good fans out the other side Tim enjoying uh the sful action good Shady spot to watch from out there going out of midair Kon to the wing and Ramsey takes the mark Keenan Ramsey waste no time he had Harvey streaming out but Ned Walter good courage to run in front of a steeming mitch Harvey so North adelay about plus 15 in possession but they've been really untiy their last few four R forward short kick from ilman to Perez he's joined the double blows from North Melbourne 24 games and one goal at AFL level with North Melbourne plays on beautiful long kick Hilda was in the box seat C did the roing oh Lan uses his left foot lock here a junior good position just kept Illman right where he wanted him had a player running now in board to mcer loia J interesting kick it's going to work so find Harry wig though wig winds up bombs it long in the Harvey Direction used the body well couldn't pull the mark down Battersby we go backwards to Walter Walder off a step looks to be going out on the full and it is oh Lin will take the free kick for the roosters gone about 8 and a half minutes here in the first quarter no one's can score yet on what would say Tim of perfect conditions there's no real Breeze the wind stock next to the scoreboard is basically dead wig on the left puts it to the top of the square Harvey in a good spot again here's rip strike goes around the corner kicks his first goal in SLE footy bring that might be his first Touch Too Tim amazing first touch at League level and again we love to see this Bond roosters players coming from every part of the ground to get around Kelsey ripstra and well he injected a bit of spark into that forward line he put himself right in the right spot to win the footy and you can still got a finish beautiful finish on his left foot great start Kelsey ripster North Adelaide first goal on the board and it goes to the debutant Kelsey ripstra tell you what he would have been nervous out there but what a way to get rid of the nerves well the ball almost fell in his lap he got to the right position but there was no stt Defender anywhere near him and bangs through his first goal great start to his sful career so it took almost 10 minutes in perfect conditions we do have our first goal now music between goals these days Tim yeah they rocking in the grand here at Prospect [Music] Kelsey ripster special maybe that was his song Choice might have been Hoy stayed down at won the hit out kum's had plenty of it already this one's coming back to maziz though that has been no help getting the ball back to Maz there why would you Mae now plays on he's going to send North deep again loia might get a good jump at this face Sparks good hand ball Walter Under Pressure did enough though how will this pitch good use of the body by fringle just to get rid of Richards now he comes in board well roosters fans held their breath but Campbell K was waiting must have had half a dozen touches already K HS Ma at true Center half forward position for North adelade directs traffic sends this long elbro nearly took it with him he might have another crack here now Mitch Harvey made that look awkward the big man he will went without it good pressure from the north forwards El Brown nowhere to go face Sparks wraps him up and a bit a frantic footy bonds will have a ball up deep in the right forward pocket for the roosters couple blues defense Under Pressure they held up in the end it was numbers around the footy the restart Harvey again trying to use his bulk to just get face spks out the way we'll have another stoppage next to right behind post Harvey just takes it out of the rock hambles backwards and wisman has it and the Umpire will come in and ball it up again so a couple of stoppages in a row still in the attacking zone for North Adelaide ma ran past the footy locky grub close to the boundary kicks towards a goal Square does he get a clean bounce Ramsey tried to go out of midair through for a minor score North all one1 yet to score we've gone almost 12 minutes in the first turn almost a very impressive volley from Kanan Ramsey there Becka short to Perez Paige now gu page right halfback for stir nothing on offer just chip short to Perez who kept running yeah I was just going to say the switch might be on here there's nothing down the line he's reluctant to kick it down the line in the end there might be a turnover Ramsey HBL over the top locky grub kicks to full forward Harvey back with the flight Perez did he interfere umpire said no hamble comes out to zey he's wrapped up what on by Becker the B comes loose grub goes in again Paige might taking him high umpire says give it to me we'll ball it up pretty good umpiring in the end yeah probably was few half ones that could have been paid but as a support you always rather see them let the play go and it's been a ferocious attack from North adelay this is what the supporters would have wanted to see what Jacob sergeon would have demanded Doyle over the top ma did the roing K just missed it loia is going to get a left foot snap it goal Nigel loia junor turns to the crowd says how about that one North adelake get two in a row they 21 13 leading dir yet to score well this is exactly what Ro's fans wanted to see after last week's debacle really at montine care over against the Eagles I think by this time in the last week Eagles had kicked six goals and and the roosters hadn't scored so it's uh a good response from a team that was under pressure lost their first couple of games and uh the coming out against I guess a more fancy double blue side and got some goals on the board early plus 21 in possessions bonds the roers and good to see they're converting a little bit of that possession dominance on the scoreboard inside 50s is 8 to2 as well so the ball is down North adela's End has been for most of the quarter and who supports Community 40 Amy does we've gone 14 minutes into the first first ter carry will get the clearance out of the middle high kick it's all North Adelaide and standing under the ball Dyson Hiller takes an easy uncontested Mark and then kicks it out on the full not his best effort will Spain take the relieving kick for the double Blues I want a quick answer here St drive it inside forward 50 big pack of players down was Snelling dribbles it towards goal dribbles it through the double Blues get their first so there is the quick answer will Snelling couple of mistakes in defense there Dyson Hilder well just missed fellows with a 20 meter pass didn't he and then Kyle Finlay drifted across the pack beautifully and straight through his hands into the hands of Snelling and player that quality is never going to miss that one might look very easy didn't he just dribbling along the ground as modern footballers do having a great year will Snelling 32 disposals 10 tackles seven clearances slick averages from your first two games in a St gy just fitting right into this Midfield Finlay in the r for the roosters now whisman elbro shrubs one tackle hands to wig who has a bit of space here can deliver a long ball in the Ramsey Direction has three to beat fist over the top found paig to Walter and now Casey Voss the beautifully weighted kick bleno Lin a nice spoil again good work there's young ripstra laying a nice tackle on carry to trap the ball in the forward half for North Adelaide have a ball up 55 from The Roosters goal loving the attack on the footy from The Roosters today they are up and about Snelling gets the clearance getting a bad bounce was magor fringle wide handle to minini has a sit for him it does Dyson Hilder trying to Loop it over the top Henry car's in there for the double Blues he's tackled and we'll have a ball up on the outer side Anderson was out there for the double Blues as well just got to get used to him in the 52 seeing in my head he was eight or week but anyway Amos Doyle the tap down kick was smothered by Matthews kicks inside forward 50 Richards was held on to will win the free kick and run into an open goal and kick the goal so just like that the double Blues have answered they've got two goals North Adelaide 2-1 they lead by a point second goal for the double Blues courtesy of Richards Richards first game for the year today perfect way to start with a goal in the first term probably not a lot in that but there was an arm over the shoulder so the free kick was definitely there and in the end it didn't matter Richards runs into an open goal it's a flat grand stand all of a sudden isn't it Bon quiet when kick a goal isn't it we're talking about that game a few years ago when P only kicked one goal here I still remember Hugh Jackson kicking the goal and everyone booed I don't give you anything in the grand stand here the rooster supporters back in the center Finlay and elbro in deep conversation there look for one over the back here from Finlay just ran into face Sparks went nowhere Kum did the roing tackled immediately and another great start to the game for Campbell k eight disposals already looking for number nine there and he gets it wig although number nine was a throw the footy coming back to Battersby I think James bsby played 128 games straight bonds 128 without a Miss BBY kick straight into the man on the Mark Campbell com commentator's curse right there yeah I was going to roll with that or one of the Sanford's most decorated players he's one of my favorite players I love watching James bad be play got a restart still inside the Center Square Face barks got it down to badby little give to teely he was tackled we'll have another stoppage just uh update the score from the AFL for Port supporters Port kicked the first six goals of the game at halim they Trail by two goals wow incredible Collingwood have kicked nine Porter stuck on uh stuck on eight guys I think so um 83 to 99 at half time cing would lead that so we'll keep you updated with that score and as well as scores from the other sful games as it's just stoppage after stoppage here we've gone 19 half minutes in the first time it's halim down at Flinders uni Stadium the dogs with a 14-point lead over South Adela down there so we'll keep you updated on that Kon tackled before he could get the hand ball free holding the ball Joel Tey laying a very nice tackle thought about handing to Perez and then just slow plays this one wide to D not much on offer for him so he plays on and we'll just kick this long down the line mcfadin up early unrealistic attempt you hear them call that in the AFL and a free kick going the way of the RO boers forgot it was Daylight Saving went up far too early I like that not much on offer for van hustad so he looks sideways kick has to be good it is to Olan now he comes in board to zealite Frank zealite just adding a few directions there Finlay got a good leap at it down in front was Voss hands from Spain were good to Kess still go forward but it's all roosters here one of those is fringle has Van hustad North will try again down this members side Hoy caught behind ball off hands and out of play with a boundary throw in we've gone 21 minutes first term and it's north Adelaide leading by a point pretty well there Hoy in the end he's well behind face Spark's got the spoil in force the stoppage will be Hoy and Fa Sparks to go at it fa Sparks grabs front position down to H was beautiful Fain the hle then bumped off a North Defender mcf Fagen tried to keep the ball in front of him he's wrapped up minini had a little bit of a fumble as well might have been H when he didn't have the foot he goes again minini Casey Vos kicked it straight in to K ol loan got the clearing kick just hacks it out of the danger zone and it rolls and it rolls and it's close to the boundary line we'll go over the boundary line by Walter and we'll have a throw in dead smack Center wing on the outer side and as we said good crowd in here at prospect on a perfect day for S footy lots of double Blues on the outer side observing this rut contest got a front row seat for it fellows magor sweeping hand B to Kum gets it back now untiy left foot kick it's all stir they set up so well behind the footy Voss Kess Ned Walters had a good first quarter KS this one long Richards used the body perfectly waste no time hols got a one-on-one got hands to it first charging through van hustad did well Hilda good support and again Hilda just missing fellows with the kick Richard's going to take the free kick and send dir back inside 50 maybe he thinks fellows is about a foot taller than he is cuz he's missed him over his head three times in this first quarter exact same spot two Richards bombs it close to goal off hands through for a minor score ties it up at 2-1 a piece at the 23rd minute Mark of this first turn bleno Lin good addition to this North Adelaide lineup like him as a footballer had some speed off half back good user of the footy North and gets kicking duties here and goes short to Hilda will get it back with the hand ball short kick finds Hoy zey he's got Ramsey on went a bit further down the line to whisman he takes the Mark Center Wing wiman's got a runner in Ramsey put it behind him Kanan was good enough to get that on the boat in the Harvey Direction well there's the man of the moment rip dread as a one-w with Harvey good centering kick northa got numbers here spill Walter good pick up Paige Edmonds such a cool calm defense St and just as I say that ilman puts it out of play and the header from Snelling into the back of the net will Snelling Harvey short to Grub and Loy grub can go back and have a look at the goals here from about 40 m tight angle not out of the question here from Loy grub no goal kick it so his first League game of the year today two games of reserves two goals Nicole's going to give you a great look at this kick on the San now camera right behind this kick from locky grub just started it right pushed it across it's not going to make the distance pack forms maer almost all strikes the behind post with have a boundary throw in left forward pocket for the roosters 25 minutes gone first turn we're tied away at 13 a piece Harvey and Doyle Doyle front position won the tap Mone gathers the Sharon and the Umpire says I'll have it BLS we'll have a ball up about 20 M out from goal batterers be hands and knees stuff trying to get the hand ball to Walter it's uh hot in the kitchen at the moment and Campbell K surprise surprise last one off the pack it's had a good first quarter as well Harvey got the tap down and the ball just comes loose out to carry and he'll get a clearing kick for the double blues face barks was outnumbered but he did beautifully to keep the ball moving Matthews how will this sit for Spain nicely D now he a good user of footy that's no exception right onto the chest of mcfadin not paid says the Umpire play on might be in trouble here now he's ropable Conor mcfadin he's had a couple of chances mcfadin he's throwing himself around thought that was a mark boy front position tapped it straight to mcfadin no look handball goes to Ze hurried kick on nman just charging through puts this long to a one-on-one contest in the Square that could bounce oh that through for Rory ilman an unlikely goal kicker right on the siren and Rory ilman just one goal from his 58 League games before today right in front of us which of course we're not allowed to touch while we're on the mik and second quarter underway Amos Doyle just going to take that one out of the rock wig says no you won't wraps him up badby now Snelling arrives hand ball ends up with Paige there's Walter possession number seven it's a high one tricky one for doy to Mark he had support though now snailing in the middle of the ground has bad as be chipping ball to the feet of Matthews aore did well spena provides support now North Adelaide come away down the outer side that is a beautiful exit kick to maer takes the chest Mark and plays on to the lead of lock here fisted out of bounds by kumas will have a ball in about 70 around from North Adelaide's go Who had most of the play in their half probably bit unlucky to be trailing it quarter time R ilman will tell us different Doyle got the tap down towards Battersby May's laid the tackle Snelling tackled over the line by wig will have another throw in a lot of stir supporters out on that other side you see a few red and white scares but lot of St fans out there enjoying the sunshine here at Prospect Hoy in his first game against Doyle Doyle used the body well under pressure got the hambo selling he's close to the boundary line stays in fellows did well got it to magor his kick around the corner wasn't fantastic knocked off the ball ripster by Dole he's about three times his size K picked it up and the kick has been intercepted by Tey at halfback ripster got Airborne that hit from toil ran into a brick wall Perez there the goal kicker ilman measuring a short ball to Angus Anderson League game number two today for Anderson debuted last week misses the 45 kick it's picked up by Ma Ze found wig nice left foot kick Harvey's pinched a yard he's going to need it though Edmund's right there and again stt have numbers Walter to the foot first good tackle mcer but Tey was waiting for the hand ball chips this one can0 got a good run at it so did spena though good spoil ball out of play a boundary throwing in front of the stt bench and the sturt fans great game of Woody here at Prospect almost three minutes in the second ter double Blues lead it by a goal that is a very short throw in from the Umpire went higher than longer will Snelling front and center dropped the footy umpire said play on could 40 tackled by fellos and the Umpire will come in we'll have another another stoppage we you see the roosters keeping the pressure on bonds there would have been a bit of that first quarter would have been the spray from surgeon but you know it's good to see them maintaining it is good wig minini magor backtracks switches play fellows to the outer side gets the lead from ripstra through his fingers guy Paige the veteran is right there with him the ball goes out of bounds throwing on the outer side just watching Harry wig come from the ground in front of us oh it's like a hip might have got a stinger yeah he did shrug the trainer off and came off under his own steam so hopefully just needs a break boundary throw in Hoy over the back might have won that down to Battersby gang tackled he'll have a ball up out of wing Prospect over bathed in sunshine St with a six-point lead over the roosters a couple of hits at that one Hoy second one went to fellows Scrappy kick to the feet of grub there's Walter again North Adelaide now through rips for go long Harvey well they've been threatening Mitch Harvey he's a great uh use of his body on a couple of occasions that time just protected the drop of the ball and only allowed himself took a nice chest Mark and should have an easy shot at goal here yeah 100% s he's had he's been in good position a couple of times that's the first time he was uh no getting around him he had his name written all over it and really should just slot through this goal and tie it up mavy noted goal kicker of course played a lot of his career early career at full forward he had to Ruck in recent years but that one never looked like missing North Adela get the first of the second term it's to the farmer end and they tie things up here early stage's second term and you mentioned about North adelade coming off you know a terrible loss and the effort we saw that in the first quarter and you're 100% right the effort here in that start of the second quarter is there again so Jacob sergeon will be happy with that response Harrison wig just walking around on the boundary doesn't look too bad expect to see him come back on maybe just a bit of a stinger sometimes you do get that emotional lift and it carries for a while but then you know you can that can be draining and the quality of opposition can get on top of you but North adelade up for the fight today and like you said Jacob sergeon will be pretty happy with what he's seen so far Liam Hoy the 25-year-old debutant up against fa Sparks just hacked out of the midair went straight to snailing Battersby back to snailing short kick d That's not the required kicks down to fa Sparks who ran on forward handle was excellent to Spain from 51 M chips it towards d h Doyle and doy takes the Mark only about 15 M out straight in front good response from the double Blues the resting rman just sneaking down he was actually all by himself when that ball was kicked towards him North Defenders got there too late but I don't know how you let a man of that size find space that close to goal where do we get one of those West End backpacks they look right yeah they look great don't they amamos Doyle will come in and he's made the Umpire do some work he has missed it pulled it to the left hand side three goals two plays three goals one here at Prospect we've gone seven minutes in the first quarter who supports Community footy Amy does he kicked that like a Rutman didn't he whereas Mitch Harvey kicked it like a full forward down the other end Lin plays on kicks one of the ugliest looking kicks you'll see speaking of bad kicks yeah it went all right for distance but straight onto the chest of face Parks who sends St straight back into attack this time hild is in front of Doyle heavy work in there and we'll have a ball up about 30 from the stt goal Doyle doing The Ruck Hoy couldn't get there in time there's Harry wig back on the ground quick hands to ker and now spener again a nice long exit kick from him down the outer side Ramsey could only get the one hand to it and he thought about trying to take Zack Becker on in the end the boundary line looked a much better option Bond there's one thing that's familiar when North Adelaide play and that's that driving right foot boot of spener out of Defense he's a beautiful kick of the footy just the Advantage side of the double Blues throwing on the outer side no a winner in that rock contest and Liam Hoy just falls on a couple of players like Sam Draper falling on the footy last night stop it BNS sorry mate I had to get it in face Sparks try to get the tap down wig got his hands on the footy wobbles at to Center half forward Ramsey in front couldn't take the mark loia gave it to elbro full forward again here's Harvey juggled it once twice got the free kick anyway it didn't matter and pretty much in exactly the same spot he kicked the last goal by just saying to uh Luke Edmund's got a hand over the shoulder in fact it's will kumas on the mark and Harvey could have two in a minute you could hear the crowd lift couldn't you when the ball was in the air it wasn't quite the screams that used to happen when Tony modra went near the footy but the crowd lifted when that ball was in the air and they saw Harvey one-onone and he didn't let them down Doyle misses at one end Harvey makes no mistake at the other has two for the quarter and North adelade hit the front there're 4-1 and the double blues uh three goals two and again there is the advantage of North adelite having a a Ruckman a tap Ruckman get him the luxury of starting Mitch Harvey at full forward each and he got close a few times in the first and they're sticking in the second it's that hurry kicking like they've got to get in a hurry to him so the St defense can't double team they play such great team defense the St Foy Club they work for each other they block for each other so you're right quick ball movement and that's that's what has held North adelade back the last few weeks they haven't not been a to move the ball quick they've been very stag back in the middle now it's the Roosters by Five Points 10 minutes played first term Doyle crashing through there K first to it had wisman in support just got under that one Hugh whisman and Ned Walter nearly took an excellent Mark he tried to do the boundary umpire's job for him Ned Walter and well that didn't work out for him it's a boundary throw in 70 M from the roosters goals Finlay into the ru now for North Adela Doyle front position just let that hit his hands and fall straight down Snelling laser tackle and we'll have another ball up seems to be dominating the tap work Amos Doyle will get first Ms on that and 40 little sideways handle to Snelling back over his head to teely Tey does a 360 down the line to Richards off hands can 40 the fend off was nice has H at half forward finds him Josh H too far out to score thought about the handb to Richards gets a lead from Matthews intercepted van H well played good work from Olan to hold up Matthews as well there and just let van hustad get into that Gap it's a beautiful kick from Van hustead adite away now Ramsey and here's the quick ball movement elbro is on just didn't sit for him he's very clever though Harry elro chipping kick ilman provides the spoil and he wanted the boundary line and found it Rory ilman excellent work from milman there he was outnumbered it was a two-on one and did the right thing got the spoil in and then chased it to the boundary line he's had to get there and kill that footy didn't he did it beautifully Mitch Harvey andos Doyle to lock horns 25 from The Roosters goals Doyle good tap out outstanding ring but the tackle was equally as good gee it's tough footy down there ma wrapped up he have a ball up half against the right behind post for North Adelaide almost 30 minutes gone in the second ter it's a five-point lead to North Adelaide deep in their attacking Zone grub to elbro on the boundary line kick smothered by 40 will go out of bounds we'll have a ball in we're about 20 M around from The Roosters goals couple of roers fans in that pocket Keele watching on would love love another goal for the men in red Harvey front position can 40 went to carry carry around the corner Snelling and Kum a great battle that's going to be all day Snelling might have dragged it in underneath hire said we'll have a stoppage just outside of 50 close to the boundary line Snelling up to nine disposals in a goal com leading all players on the ground with 13 do that's hit out number 15 for him's found something here player held without it be a roosters free kick not much on offer though ship to the pocket Edmunds a nice spoil over the back Perez happy to see that one out and we'll have a boundary throw in I was going to say they look dangerous North ad it's a flat hurried kick inside for 50 Harvey front position against Doyle just took it out the ru kicked it about a meter and a half elb quick hands around the corner loia Junior kicks his second excellent give for elbro on his knees loia Jr flash past and finished off across the body it's his second in the roof have kicked three goals to zip in this quarter they lead it 31 to 20 starting to get reward for effort aren't they North adelay dominating possession and now starting to turn some of that dominance into some scoreboard Advantage it's so important that you do that when you've had the better of the play and the music's pumping the crowd's up and about and so are the roosters 11-point lead 15 minutes gone first term fan of the music after goals yeah I like it I do like it I know the traditionalists aren't big fans but I think it creates a good atmosphere agree so back in the middle can North adade keep rolling or can stir stop some momentum Finlay went and got it free kick we go to Jared D though just got into his back did maze so the dangerous Jared d goes wide badby has to sit and wait the kick was perfect and so was that one and St go bang bang and now James Richards will go back and have a look at the goals man on the marks about 45 M out but James Richards has got the distance in him he's an excellent lead up forward James Richards he's quick Off the Mark his goal kicking can he can have on and off days James Richards kick 13 goals from his 15 games last year this is his first game at League level this year little side step kicks from just inside 50 gives this one a good ride it's right to the square Hilder with the fist to rush that behind St go to 3321 trim the margin back to 10 points we've played 16 and a half second term at prospect that breeze is just picking up a little bit you saw the the ball help hold up I thought rids would have made the distance easily there but maybe there's a little bit of Breeze kicking towards that end the Rober and end here at Prospect big fly from wig no one couldn't take the mark Battersby he was tackled the ball comes off hands and out of bounds bit of push and shove boys will be boys sort of stuff Harry wig took another big knock back on his feet no worries though James Richards uh and Kena Ramsey just having a bit of a discussion about what they're going to have for dinner and Richards gives away a free kick knocks over maze Samy ma drives it long down the wing big pack of Players Ball comes crashing to the front Ramsey was there kumas was there as well for the double blues and we'll have a ball up just to the advantage of north adate on the outer Wing 17 minutes in this turn wig coming off the back of the pack smashing onto his left boot did Hoy pull that in no elro did great work Harry Wiggy hit that pack hard he's got such a good penetrating left foot kick and that is an excellent Mark Harry elro is the smallest out of the four in that pack hand it in his hands this is an important kick here North adelade 10 points up and he can start to put a bit of a gap on the double blues if he can kick truly here Harry elro hasn't kicked a goal this year yet kicked 79 last year he just pushes that one to the right to the disgust of the north North fans the big S like oh that was great it's why we love sful foot the interaction never left wondering when you sit in the grand stand it's great especially this grand stand I've been abused a couple of times up here it's fair fantastic van hou big spoil straight to Rory ilman he's going to thump it back down the line good luck marking that going back with a flight Anderson but somehow it end up with Will Spain he goes short teely fellow just comes off the mark gives him a a few meters kick back to ilman met solidly by spena right in front of your sample now commentary position Bond and sley with you kicks inside fify Richard will have a fly didn't get there in the end Finlay the spoil Well Done by con picked it up dodged around one and then kicked it out on the fo his eyes lit up then didn't they like what he saw just found it tiny bit of space in the forward 50 now Ze gigging long down the line Finlay got a good run at that and this time the ball sticks in those Ms May it to wig who was standing still now he has to give it back to Finlay little untidy but the kick was a good one to K looking in board here Campbell K but sturd have got that shut down now called to play on K so he sends an untiy looking kick fellows put himself in a beautiful position grub thought about running forward then stop now loia at the back Nigel loia just read that ball in the air perfectly worked his player under the foot he took a nice Mark well he did well he went around the back of Becka and Becka just turned the head the wrong way lost where he was and in the end it was almost an uncontested Mark but great forward craft Lo has kick one in the first one in the second oh and gee even I went to that time that's not even a score flashbacks to the Grand Final for rooster supporters and now Snelling go short D kick to the outer Wing face barks got away from Carl Finlay took the Mark at Half Back 21 minutes gone in the second term sideways to Walter we're here for Amy supporting Community footy short kick and 40 nowhere to go chips it up the line Mark taken by Snelling great to have him back in the sample quality player and hats off the s for getting him to their Club outside of the boot fell into Richard's lap gives to H H from 5 one helicopter kick towards goal fellows needs the bounce and he's thought about taking it over the line and decided not to and kicks it out van hustad couldn't take the mark Spain hamble back inside can 40 Richard from 45 M on the right boot wobbles it straight into the waiting arms of Finlay might have been Hilder actually so Perez tight ropes the sideline now comes in board was an untidy exit kick by The Roosters think it was magor in fact that was magor Third Time Lucky Tim and now and something's going on in the goal Square I'm just trying to pick that up it's going to be free kick to St right in the goal Square going to will Spain I didn't see it either might have been oh no he just signaled over his shoulder there the Umpire in the goal Square so maybe one of the roosters Defenders just stopping the St player from leading out and this will hurt will Spain from Point Blank Range bangs that through pumps the Fist and against the Runner play you'd say Bon St get one they go to 4327 margin back to Five Points couple of bad misses at the other end to ELO and then Nigel loia and St take advantage and trim this margin back to 5 Points 23 played second term those inside 50s have tightened up and North Adat plus two 18 to 16 the clearances 18 to 15 in favor of North Adelaide rebound 50s 13 to 12 in favor of certain the hit outs we've said doy's dominating them is 26- 15 so it's um a close contest here and it shows that on the scoreboard with a f scoreboard with a five-point lead to the home team we Waring towards halim no one really wins the ball out of the middle umpire seen a free kick going the way of the double bles Battersby towards Snelling just got a bit of space on wig Josh hone on the lead great kick great Mark did that easy Josh H bit far out to score so goes to the lead of con 40 spena was right with him LAN oh Hilder kick smothered centering ball again wig not the required called to play on wants his left shoe comes out his grand stand side still a contest W on elbro gathered the footy well and Kicks Down the Line not his greatest kick Walter first to it thought about handballing short to Doyle was a much better option further a field was Flynn Perez he can go short to Paige that 16 M kick is mar mared right in front of the members stand here who are a bit quiet now bonds kick backwards to Walter now Perez just content to chip this footy around St as we take over 25 minutes margin Five Points St just starting to get the game on there term spearing ball inside 50 big Hoy got the fist to it elbro couldn't get to perceive pressure perhaps hard against the line was magor Scrappy looking kick it again into the corridor it's all stir Walter hands to Doyle Up and Under kick fellows had to wait for it it bounced off his chest in the end onto it Matthews whisman tracks him mcfaden can't pick it up zechy can't pick it up whisman can now fellows quick hands and fringle will exit for the roosters Ramsey will take it over for a boundary throw 26 minutes gone in the term it's a five-point lead to the roosters good game of footy we've got here Paul bonser Tim sa wherever you're watching around this Fantastic Planet or country Davey mcf fagin his kick was smothered running through Casey Voss somehow ended up in the lap of Snelling Battersby gathered his thoughts and then kicked inside forward 50 Frankle had an ay got nowhere near the footy in the end the skipper spener hble to locky Grub wants to come back inside kicks down to a contest good Fist from Walter Voss front and center Snelling little chip kick looking for a can 40 plenty of numbers around the footy wisman did well wig went off the ground it's a hot contest Carrie can't pick up the Sharon Mone he can't it up either spena does and spirals it down the wing should be a free kick to Carl finle and it is would have feared for our safety in the grand stand if that one wasn't paid and now here's the quick kick Harvey one-on-one again front position couldn't quite stick that one Ned Walter arrives has Becka in support free Kick's going to come back to Walter just C the high one from Ramsey Aire explains to Keenan Ramsey what the three was for wter looks propy here sure he can take his kick he looks so he's had an excellent first half Ned Walter happy to get rid of that one to Paige s in no hurry in the dying stages of this second quarter guy p going to come down the members wing with a long kick North have numbers at the Back magor Got a Good Shepherd from oin there left foot was not his preference had to use it in the end and there is the siren and at halim it is North Adelaide enjoying a narrow lead 5232 leading St 4327 and is a second half and so Tim Soul some holds the ball Loft third term underway at Prospect Doyle the hit out straight to Kum hands to wig kick was smothered he'll go in and get it again Harry wig he was hit High accidentally by Snelling who stands the mark wig with the first disposal of this term there's big Hoy taking a nice Mark Grub's going to want to be quick just got his hand ball away Zeal saw something he liked in BO there was just a touch on that though good tackle laid by ripstra the young man in his first game to hold this footy inside 50 for the roosters Doyle over the top of Harvey in that rut contest Ma and bad asby that's been a good Jewel as well bonds today yeah it's been good we've uh seen some good clashes today and hopefully we continue to see it for this second half we'll get another stoppage here just gone a minute in the third term North by Five Points Harvey doing the ru work in the forward line he's got the tap down badby might have been held when he didn't have the footy by a gold play on balls at the bottom of the pack it's Scrappy stuff Mone slipped as he went to get the hand ball out the ball came out the back umpire said give it to me and the game started a bit Scrappy like this team but hopefully both teams will find their feet ma couldn't quite get a hand ball out neither can dayen grub strong tackle gave him something to think about it's all smiles though Doyle grabs this one out of the rock he says to the mids if you won't clear it I'll just put it on my boot magor first to it good tackle really strong Tackle by Angus Anderson just no chance for Hilda to get rid of that ball and he was a tackling machine in the reserves last year Angus Anderson you can see why there in board to D spearing kick to Doyle Anderson follows up and now sends St forward and housted leads in the race for the footy although he decides to leave that and Harrison magor will take the last Touch free kick for the roosters they'll set up from halfback The Roosters Mel was looking maybe the switch is on thinking about it now called to play on high kick to the wing Doyle straight underneath this one finay came late got the spoil in badby little fumble D got a handall out in space Perez ilman North have some numbers here they might be able to clear the footy but Rory ilman takes it over the boundary line and we'll have another throw in we've gone 3 minutes in this quarter and we are here for Amy who support c community footy our good friends at Amy do and we'll have a ball in big thanks to Amy great supporters of community footy at all levels of course not just here at the top wig unable to go anywhere with that ball D and Doyle both had a hand in that tackle ball up oh he's got some fans in the grand standand here you've heard a go Hoy a couple of times at the ball up I'm waiting to hear a Hoy [Laughter] Hoy so again Hoy and Doyle lock arms May's good tackle Snelling ball just dribbled free batsby tackled by wig D now extracts the footy kicks long down the outer side Dyson Hilder leads in the race for the ball takes a nice Mark dangerous kick in board but fringle up to the task can go backwards if he wants to North adlay they like to switch play from halfback they run themselves in trouble here magor does really well though just fed the hand ball to fringle kept running himself this Kick's got to be spot on to mcer he wasn't quite Vos good gather Walter and he is tackled B Bills free now a chance for North adelade fellows just steps around his opponent with ease kicks this one along Edmunds front position and takes a nice juggling Mark Luke Edmunds as we hear the Box behind us a big thump on the desk bonds funny old kick from fellas Edmunds in the back pocket Voss got his hands on it it's close to the boundary line again to have some numbers bad as be backwards to ilman short kick Walter not sure that's required umpire said it went 15.1 m ilman short now Perez for the double Blues he got it from Snelling and his kick is offline and just standing underneath it h it's a poor kick really isn't it we've seen one at each end now the switches on and spener takes the ball at Half Back thought about the middle option and now we'll just drill it down the line flat darting kick finds Kon in front of Snelling K wants to go backwards to wig going nowhere really the roers at the moment they're going to switch it again and G they make the simple look difficult sometimes North adade you hear the moans from the supporters van housted tumbles one to fellows had a little bit of space there and now hits mcer he takes a diving Mark in front of Casey Voss Sam mcinery sun in the eyes on the outer side calls for a lead none offered just has to K long to Harvey good ring that must have been K but just the high ball straight to the chest of ilman who comes across to teely teely top of the square now Becka Snelling wants to go under pressure just got the hamble away to teely teely con 40 was good use good skills caught conord out the corner of his eye zone defense from North adel's pretty good at the moment nowhere to go goes to Richards that's an excellent kick Richards takes the mark in front of the stt bench by himself Amos Doyle the big fella almost dropped it juggled it inside 50 bit of uh contest there by I think that's um it is Hilda against fa Sparks and Wiman will come wide out to zey was a good kick good switch Ze drills this one down the line elbro plays on into trouble elbro and in the end just kicks that straight to Rory man you see some Scrappy stuff early just turnover after turnover to start this third quarter yeah both teams turning it over at the same part of the ground both teams taking the corridor away from their opposition we've just got down the line footy this time it's ilman driving long Richard's front position that's a good Mark James Richards deceptively tall I reckon James Richards stood strong there and took a nice Mark he plays on now sends this one along to the pocket good contest down there mcf fagin had the ball spoiled into the stur cheer squad and we'll have a boundary throwing deep in the pocket for St it's 189 CM Richards so not overly tall but yeah I I'm agree with you plays taller than that yeah band taking while to throw this in eventually tosses it back over his head face barks grabs it out of the rock good tackle from Hilder bought him to ground that hurt face barks and the ball ended up out on the full fringle wants to cut back across goal magor closed down by Snelling again looking straight down the corridor as magor in the end to minini Lee minini with the Pate haircut just pulls the kick a little for Ramsey Doyle floated across the back Becka broke a tackle forward handle to James Richards wants to come back inside kicked at the Hilder Hilder drop the mark this has let the double Blues in Spain looped it over the top Casey VOS Bullet to the goal Square mcfaden dropped the Mark had there he trying to go off the ground Matthews comes flying in and the ball I think the Umpire has seen a free kick it might be going the way of the double Blues James Matthews oh and and might have turned it over H come in and push minini to ground that should have been turned over that was just unnecessary and silly stff from Josh H sticking up for his teammate yes but your teammates have a set shot for goal there's a bit off the ball here as well Hilda's just just uh given one to James Richards in the Bread Basket might have a 25 here as well bonds I reckon I think we will and James Matthews has recovered and he will have a set shot from the goal Square things just getting a little out of hand there's still a bit of push and shove as Matthews kicks the goal for stt and puts them in front by point they're 53 Adelaide are 52 and we've gone 10 minutes in the third term first goal of that term took took about 10 minutes in the first term to get our first goal and we you know we called a couple of times the start of this third was like the start of the first and around about the same time to get our first goal just little bit undisciplined by The Roosters I reckon stur are really lucky there because Josh H just come in and pushed Loy junr to ground it's just should have been a free kick sorry minini to ground so you think it was worth a reverse no absolutely every day of the week back in the middle how will the roers respond Doyle wants no run up there just wants to engage the body of Finlay Finlay did well in the end fellows want been expecting that footy to come out Voss was he grabbed it was tackled immediately and we'll have a ball up again Doyle just taking the Run of Finlay away the more athletic Rutman giving him no look at the footy that's a holding the ball decision against MC fagin who I don't know if he was giving his teammates a spray or the Umpire then but B hustad now will send this long ugly looking kick might work for the roosters here Kon was roving nicely weighted kick to Ramsey takes the mark in front of the bobam and Mound sends this one to the pocket Harvey again front position he just knew exactly where his opponent was kept him out of the Drop Zone again and took a nice Mark great forward craft Ed the arm to fend off Edmonds to create the space and take the mark he wants to snap this one around the corner the big man let's see what the skills are like they are perfect and North Adela get the quick response bonds Mitch Harvey with three very very good from one end to the other maybe that's uh the footy gods are watching because North get that goal 62 38 5333 a five-point lead to the roosters that was the margin at halftime and Harvey he is a target up forward without question with the big debutant rakman coming in Liam Hoy he does free up Harvey to play out of the goal Square yep and he's done the job so far for Jacob surgeon today looks the most dangerous forward on the ground by far doesn't he yeah MC fagin's looked a little out of sorts um and i' I like the way MC fagon plays the game but he's hasn't got near it really today hasn't had many opportunities deliv hasn't been 100% either Doyle and Carl finle into the Rock for North Adela as the baby animals blast through the speakers hats off to the DJ great song Good Bounce from the up Doyle the clear tap K runs onto it hand ball to zey go back used van hustad short maze takes a diving mark on the wing in front of teely it's a lead from Finlay ignores that now kicks long to Ramsey back with the flight do and half a spoil in there close to the boundary line tried to flick it to luy Grub did finlake when out of bounds will have a throw in a little groin from the grand stand here it was on grub was at full pace so boundary throw in right in front of a sea of red and white here at Prospect roers lead it by five great attack on the footy was mcfadin te and now can 40 oh just bounced the footy he didn't come back to him Campbell K on the scene now spener want to be quick he was and sets this one up for maziz he has wisman running for him probably wasn't a great option in the end can0 back good tackle lock here the roosters forced the turnover crowd lifting grub just had Harvey wrong footed and Flynn Perez takes the relieving Mark and he plays on and goes wide in the direction of Anderson long kick to the outer side Casey Voss and Hilda in a battle Voss threw it out the back but spener was the only one there his kick to whisman Great spoil paage quick hands from M from D Carl Finlay in front of the Sharon trying to get the bounce now it bounces up for him back to his Skipper short kick Hilder well played north Adela just got the bit of momentum here in this third term still a close contest anyone's game five-point lead to the home team the switch is on and the clearing kick to Van H MC Fagen closed down Richards will come to help now for the double Blues can he keep it inside the boundary line close got the hando to mcfaden from 51 M comes back on the left puts it up it's 2on one here North adelade have the numbers and it's f through for a minor score they go to five goals for the double Blues makes it a four-point margin North Adelaide 6238 15 almost 16 minutes played third term in a tight quarter it's one goal a piece Spina goes long ma will get a good run at this gave up valuable inches to Doyle who got the spoil in this will be a free kick to stir I think it'll be to teely yep so Joel teely goes in board to Voss that one just the required distance now Vos drives this one to the goal Square Doyle when you move the footy in quickly you get those one-on-one matchups and there was just no one the same height as big Amos Doyle was a nice kick by Voss and well Doyle missed one of these in the just about to say Tim he missed one from the similar distance in the first quarter you're backing him this time he don't back him to to rectify the situation he kicked like a Rutman that set shot let's see if he can kick this one like a full forward very deliberate run up and that never looked like missing straight over the umpire's Hat thir get their second of the term and they hit the lead again 6440 leading North Adelaide by by two points who are 6238 we've played 17 minutes third turn I think it's a part of Amos doy's game that's improved over the last couple of years just his ability to drift forward take a grab he has got good hands and this time other unlike earlier in the game he finished truly put the double loose back in front we got a cracking contest here two-point lead to stir face spks has gone into the rck up against the first gameer Liam Hoy he's done his apprenticeship in the reserves for the roosters for a couple of Seasons it's his first opportunity on a perfect day in the heart of prospect B Sparks will give him that tap Maz try to find elbro tried to find him again Bulls on the the deck heap of players around the footy all screaming for holding the ball and the Umpire will come in and ball it up we've gone 18 minutes in the third ter and we are here for Amy they are supporting Community Foy everywhere Hoy and face Sparks engage ball just drops straight back down to where it was thrown up we'll do it again face barks and hoy the wrestling contest crowd wanted a free Kick the Hoy and in fact it's going to go the other way you can hear the crowd reaction here it's going to bad as Be Few Choice words for the men in pink coming from the grand stands kick out in front of Richards fringle did pretty well in the end just to put the pressure on Olan ma it's tight down there and the exit kick only as far as a pack of St players and I think fa Sparks is going to win that free kick Hoy infringing didn't have eyes for the footy short ball Spain can't Mark hone quick hands Richards good tackle Blain o Lan crowd W holding the footy and this time they get it Paul bonser it was a great Tackle by BL o Lan teely he just locked the arms couldn't get out of the tackle as there was a couple of stur players hovering if Tilly could have released the ball it's out wide finds ripster ripstra rather now Harvey his confidence is building more and more as the game goes on he already has three he's too far out to score he will wheel around bomb it inside 50 kumas at the back dro the spoil and infringed did Ramsey he doesn't know what he did wrong but he might have just chopping in the arm two St players ran into each other kumas and ilman not much in that I didn't think Tim no not much in it but they were outn they he was outnumbered Ramsey so probably did have to do something slightly illegal just to even up the contest St do that really well there especially in defense they just get that extra number to the contest make life very difficult for the forwards kiing board finds Face bar now comes across to Edmonds Luke Edmonds or player just on the ground is Perez just snuck on un opposed drills a nice ball towards home minini up to the challenge of defending him and the ball out of play we have a boundary throw in just outside 50 for the double Blues did well not to give away a free kick Le in V hard man to Mark Josh H ball in right on the painter 50 Hoy face barks Hoy might have got that one down D somehow gathered it kicked inside and was there but a lot of roosters there as well zey wobbles a kick out of Defense grub was held on to twice still no free kick in fact the Umpire off the play has called the free kick yeah wow Loy grub on the wing high kick Ramsey Finlay kumas over the top comes out to Ramsey short kick out towards Harvey takes it on the chest again used the body beautifully too strong for Edmunds and we go back and line up for number four yeah just pushed off so easily wasn't he I mean great strength from Harvey wondering if they consider a change here to throw mcf back or something like that I not sure this is the best match up for St couple of goals last week to go along with 11 disposals but he's having a lot better day today lining up for number four and to put North Adelaide back in front he does just that as soon as it left the boot it was through the middle 72 plays 64 it's a four-point margin to The Roosters we're going goal for goal in the third term in the first half it was goals getting scored in batches and this term's been stir North stir North and it was five points at halim it's four points now in favor of the roosters and it is a great contest bonds I just I just like the balance of the roosters side today yes they're up and about and they're playing some better footy than what they have in the last couple of rounds but I just think they they there's a look about them with Harvey up forward all the defense is solid may go back there as well to provide some run and drive I yeah they look look switched on today the [Applause] roosters Black Betty pumping out of the speakers in the stand we're up and about here on sful now fellows got into the back fans don't like it that one was definitely there b as be sort of footy first as he so often is kick wide look at Amos Doyal pinch a break got a shocking bounce still clever enough to not only gather and then hit the leading hone and stt do this so often they just take the wind out of your sails uh in a matter of seconds well they're good footy side we got a great game of footy on our hands it's been close all day and Josh H from from 50 not as reliable as he is from inside 5050 just the six dispos for Josh hone so far today no goals yet you kick this from just inside 50 strikes it beautifully pushes it across the face though through for a minor St 6541 North adelade 7244 it's a margin of three points 24 and 1 half gone third ter Alex Spa kicking duties what a skipper he is for the The Roosters HS towards Ramsey who'll fly got hands on it teely front and center D hurried kick inside forward 50 almost Anderson goes the outside of the boot needs a friendly bounce bounce isn't going to get it rolls through for a minor score makes it a two-point game 42 plays 44 it's game on in this third quarter M go plays on and yeah kick didn't carry Henry kry was just waiting and took an unopposed chess Mark 45 from goal kick from almost the exact position Josh hone kicked from a minute ago he looks pretty confident here Henry kry just 15 goals from his 95 games that is a high long kick mcfaden got a good run at it and May and Cony locked the ball up be a jump ball if it was basketball at its footy and it's deep in the stt forward Line Paul bonser this should just be tapped through for a minor score whisman get the hando to K good tackle Anderson ball comes loose carry on the boundary will Square it hone underneath this there's a lot of North ATL jumpers there as well it fell to D HBL it straight to locky Grub and North will run it out fellows Cuts back inside to the lead of Harvey kumas excellent work got in front of him well done D got the hando to kumas Now teely by himself want to come back inside on the right goes long and kicks it straight down the throat of finlake finlay's got Ramsey on the outer Wing North adade out of trouble for the time being Kanan Ramsey shielding the Sun from his eyes called the play on now kicks to no one in particular elbro did well not to let Doyle take the mark there St have numbers ilman nice spearing kick to Anderson takes the mark through Center Wing position thought about centering kick to teely North Adela shut that down now he goes a little further he's got a good lead from coni who got a bad bounce oan con 40 well he threw that one out to teely and umpire not missing that one and siren sounds to end a very entertaining quarter was low position there is the siren to start this last turn north Adela by two points William Hoy wins the hit out convincingly D was he held without it umpire says play on wig ducked the head there good tackle by bads be and we'll have another another ball up good contest to start this last turn Liam Hoy just pulled that be off of that and then patted him on the head first gamer so Hoy it is again winning the hit out ma it's been important today for North Adelaide Maz it's tight footy in there again and there's Maz the hack off the ground just through the outstretch hands of Walter well he might have thrown that one away there St Defender I think it was wal in the end this is going to work chipping ball only as far as magor who did a beautiful job just to take a one-handed grab PA bonser little bit of a party trick by Harrison magor short grub he just went the required distance as well magor stretches the calf out a little bombs it inside 50 looking for Harvey front position kumas at the back kumas one on this occasion got it to Walter wants to hble inside well un fellows cut it off here's rip he was hovering around magor fellows back towards the goal square there's four double Blues here Carl Finlay was the rooster so was zey he kicked it straight up in the air top of the goal Square teely hles to ilman and stter out of trouble well a little half chance for the roosters there goes begging St Come Away Big Hoy nice little tap to minini just couldn't take the footy though wrapped up and good to see the north aday players get around the big man he did well there he's been all right in his first down hasn't he absolutely just got to hold his own CU what he offers in team balance is super important and chased well there Hoy just didn't let D run away with that and in the end contributes to the turnover Harry wiger Nice tackle holding the footy blast this one long lock here and elman's been a good contest all day Doyle half back just a little untiy with his direction of his hit out there com taken high and free kick to Campbell K just inside 50 for the roosters smart play just backed into the tackle hle to the running wig oh we wanted him to go long instead he goes short finds Zeal no more than 30 m out tight angle it's just just really smart play from Campbell Kon knew the tackle was coming being ducked into it the tackle execution in the end was too high it was clear it was a clear free kick and now the roers have a set shot at goal so we can tend to overstate the importance of certain kicks during matches but this is a big one bons this will get a bit of momentum behind the roosters here Frank zi kicks from 30 does it hold its line it does he turns to the crowd and pumps the fist North adelite players come from everywhere Frankie zey gets his first and that is the important first goal in this last ter as the roosters chant rings out from the grand stand North that take an eight-point lead he knew it straight away as soon as he kicked it was a beautiful kick from the pocket and threaded it through the middle the Umpire hardly moved important goal as you said takes that margin out to8 points and ex he's played okay today I've liked his game coming off a reasonbly quiet game for him last week just the 13 disposals and two clearances but uh he's always dangerous he gets the last goal of or gets the first goal of the last quarter I should say Hoy and Doyle no real decisive tap Doyle hand to Battersby D out of the center to the leader Richards great footy s will take James Richard's best kick but he's got it in him he can be a thumping kick at times will kick from probably 49 M although Something's Happened in the goal Square wow off the ball and it's been reversed umpire was signaling a high high tackle but completely off the ball maybe undisciplined stuff short kick to the skipper spener went to Grub that's a big call isn't it grub goes long Ramsay's got a one-on-one nice spoil coming from Becka did really well to make Kenan Ramsey's life difficult we have a boundary throw in bit of a hush over the crowd at the moment five minutes gone final term North adelade hanging on to an eight-point lead they've kicked the only goal of this last turn Doyle again getting to the front and no room at all for Snelling good tackle by wig on that occasion Snelling was getting hold of the roosters at halim he had 16 just three disposals in that third they've clamped down on him streaming through beautifully was carry puts that out in front of face Sparks was a perfect kick fa Sparks wastes no time tumbles one forward to mcfadin kept his feet well Spain has a snap towards the goal Square tricky bounce conord is there and north adelade have numbers and spena will come away much to the joy of the grand stand spena spirals it out of Defense but straight down the Thro to Perez Perez sees Spain inside 50 hits him good kick that was like that was like Alex Spa had a remote control on that booty and he just said said Just Bounce straight into my lap please then looked like he went the barrel and just didn't quite execute it did he Spain not much angle what's he got for us from 50 it's going to land just short and Hoy will thump it through for a minor score they go to 6743 dirt North Adelaide 8250 that's a seven-point margin and we've gone almost 7 Minutes in the final turn we're here for Amy supporting Community footy spena plays on runs his full measure goes along looking for Harvey had two to beat D good hands Perez clever left foot kick but Kum R it better than his opponent will Snelling now Campbell K had a mighty game as is this man Harrison magor he's been excellent in defense today nice switch of play to Hilder he's got bleno Lan he's got a beautiful left foot kick and that is no exception bleno Lin hits a Frankie zei who wants to run comes in board to wisman what can the roosters do here that's a beautiful kick by wisman to hit a leading Nigel loia who puts the hand up and says I'm going to have a look from here boys this can take some sort of kick from here Tim [Music] huge kick here loia not sure he's got the distance strikes that one nicely with the left boot what do I know that is a great kick Nigel loia goal number three for the day and again The Roosters come from everywhere to get around Nigel loia forget the ones from 15 M out that was from 55 and it sailed through he absolutely flushed that footy that went through easily from 55 M an absolute bomb that's what you want to see if you go back from outside 50 the confidence yeah but he he couldn't have struck it any better he was confident wasn't he put the hand up he had a look up put the hand up and said no I've got this did he ever margin now out to 13 points as we approach the 99-minute mark of this last term coming off an absolute hammering by The Eagles last week this has been an impressive turnaround from The Roosters back

Ford hamle Anderson lobs it up inside 50 Richards is there flying over the back Dyson Hilder couldn't take the grab Josh hone fighting hard for the footy and we'll lock it in we'll have a stoppage um

that P I guarantee you Carrie thought about blazing instead he goes wide over the head of MC fagon though the the delivery to mcfaden today has been really poor like he and he's look he looks frustrated he's putting his throwing his hands out that there hasn't been a pass that's been where he wanted it well we he the groans of the crowd is that one up and under from o Lockland no damage done as Hilder able to affect the spoil I mentioned it a few times bons you know they are missing Loy Barrow who is such a focal point of that attack and allows mcfadin you know to maybe take the second best defender instead of the best defender we talk about team balance a lot working for the roosters it's a big out for stur carry back of the pack broke one tackle broke a second teely great SM wisman you heard it on the effects Mike and a nice Tackle by zei croww holding the footy oh Lan able to see that one over have a boundary throwing this is a time for S they have to come now they

not over throw in Doyle up against Finlay Finlay used the body well Mae spirals it down the wing kum's got a shove in the back from Harvey umpire ignored it rolls to the boundary line we'll have a throw in 11 and a half play final term North have kicked two straight this ter just one behind to stirt The Roosters by 13 points as a hush Falls over Prospect good throw in face barks and finlake con

mcfadin got a shocking bounce at the back little kick around the corner by magor found fringle with a silent p goes into the middle of the ground grub by himself has a couple of bounces sees Ramsey inside 50 and kicked it straight to kumas horrible kick and the turnover comes but they might get a back the roosters they do off a step Finlay goes towards goal it's bouncing the wrong way minor score wellow could have been Sam ma actually Tim off a step but minor score result gee a frantic couple of frantic 30 seconds both sides making some mistakes kick wide Becka good grab excellent grab just read that beautifully in the air he wants to go in board he plays on now he heads in board Finlay going to chip across he and fringle nearly spoil each other Anderson a defend off oin just got his his boot to the ball and now St surge forward but there's the skipper dropping back in the hole Alex spener as he so often does taking the relieving Mark and finding fringle deep inside his defensive 50 14 minutes gone final term still plenty of time kick close to the boundary line in fact very close to the boundary line so close it's out on the full D the relieving kick from the double for the double Blues short Voss needs something inside 50 in the end bombs it up St need to Mark out the back mcfaden dribbles it towards goal he's roll it [Applause] through there's the one they needed something out of nothing and there's a little bit happening off the ball there we mentioned MC fagin he'd had a tough day just stuck with it though well you can have a tough day but you can have some moments yeah and it's exactly he's got one there and brings it back to an eight-point game it's what the double Blues needed yeah cuz if North got the go the next goal I think the game was over that margin would have been too big to come back from Van HED is Van hou's coming off the ground looks a little prop a good heads up play by MC fagin who put himself in the right spot was a clever finish those goals are never as easy as they look especially for the bigger men so St within Striking Distance now back to eight points finl V Doyle oh just crashes into him there teer Le first to the come off for ma teely crashes back in going to be a free kick to Battersby thought about the short option now goes further a field to Walter Center Wing position has Anderson further a field try to chip that one up to Richards just over his head bleno Lan did well magor clearing kick locky is going to have to beat two here did well to bring it to ground and a good strong tackle coming in from Henry kry on mcer so have a ball up just backward of center for the roosters Doyle on opposed done that a few times just a scrappy little kick forward big contest ball spills free good hands and now can0 can snap it goal goal Square mcf Fagen and Hilder jeez mcfaden almost had that and B just spilling off hands out of play boundary throwing left full forward pocket for the double Blues think can0 had a little bit more time to compose but that's that pered pressure just got it on the boot immediately 17 minutes gone final turn eight-point lead to the roosters short throw in Finlay tapped it back towards the boundary line it's rolling carry tried to get the hle forward fellows did well a mid in there and will give the last touch rule to Kum go short very close to the boundary line fellows North just need a steadier needs some composure the double Blues are coming Kicks Down the Line Doyle strong grab in front of Harvey been great today Amos Doyle 28 hit outs coming up for disposal number 15 it's a good one find carry measures one to Snelling marks in front of cble K 70 from home Snelling just sets this one up Richards gets a good run at it over his head there's hone snapping towards goal never really a chance that one through for for a minor stirt Edge closer 7850 North Adela 9357 it's a margin of 7 18 1/2 played Final ter snailing up to 23 disposals and a goal

was right there the Umpire MH we'll go to guy paig seven-point margin short Walter the man in the lid goes short to Battersby Battersby lead in the pocket from Richards took the grab good Mark under pressure from fellows coming back kept his eyes on the Sharon and clunked it he will go back and have a set shot from probably about 47 m tight angle they feel look he's had a lot of shots at goal from this about this range he's only kicked one we know he's got the distance from here James Richard's first game for the season Tim mentioned earlier bit of a shuffle made pretty good contact it's close it's right to the line through for a minor score in fact the Umpire paid a push in the back it is going the way of stirt wow that's a big decision from the Umpire didn't seem to be much in it m fagin will now kick around the corner to make this a one-point game or a six-point game in the shadows off hands or is hild is claiming he touched it all clear goal it's a one-point game h a straight away called that he touched it no reviews in the sample no reviews in the sample so we go back to the middle it's 20 and 1/2 minutes gone it's a one-point game North Adelaide 9357 St 8856 and MC fagin has two two in the last five minutes as well and just when North ad were about a goal away from potentially putting a pin in this match St kick two in a row and it's a one-point ball game plenty of time left just ticked over 21 minutes big hush over the prospect grand stand it'll be a grand stand finish here face Sparks wins the hit out Anderson the clearance kick s to half forward good spoil o
