Well good evening and happy New Year to all our viewers it is round 12 of the 20232 24 TI ntfl men’s Premier League it’s warar taking on Pine I’m Ryan sax will be joined alongside by the legendary Ian Butterworth Ian happy New Year mate how are you look I’m well

Thank you and I must say that the teams now this is the second half this is the uh the pointy end of the season if you like in the ntfl here in the top end of the Northern Territory and the finals uh on the horizon we’ve got an interesting

Top four top five top six and you’ve even got the tee bombers in with a show yeah well it’s pretty evenly contested at the moment not much separating obviously T sitting currently on 12 points eight behind Buffalo’s Point sitting pretty 20 in fifth position I should say with 24 points at 100% warar

Lad leaders 28 points 194% and Ian though it seems like a bit of a gap between these two players these two teams I should say back to round three Friday night classic P get over the line against war on their home ground by a singular point do we think

That maybe something like that might happen again tonight look it’s on the cards one of the issues with Point as distinct from waro War I think you read out their percentage something uh akin to 200% which is fantastic after 11 rounds of ntfl footy they have a a noted

Goal kicker in um magro whereas Point sort of struggle a little bit they rely heavily on Matt Ryan the skipper from Center half forward some of their crumbers go okay but um it’s nice to have have someone to aim at and and whil magro is not a giant among men but by G

He can kick goals absolutely definitely a threat in this upcoming game and we also just probably have a couple of other great matchups coming up of course Conor McDonald Kirby great Rock Duo those two Conor McDonald probably the fourth best Rockman in the league thereabouts and Kirby of course he’s

Just he’s just one of those players look he’s unfashionable isn’t he he’s not as tall he’s not he’s uh he’d be 193 194 so he’s up against it each week but he’s got a big body a big frame and more importantly he’s got a big heart and he

Just never stops hates resting on the pine wants to be on the field all the time and that’s where you want your Ruckman he is a big man and he he is just s such value and it’ll be those two uh to take open this up we’ve got on the

Left hand side of the screen and that that’ll be Arnold Kirby number 18 the man now with his back to us with his hands on his hips playing for Point that’s Conor McDonald so it’ll be McDonald and I reckon the Kirby of course also maybe not too sure

If the viewers can get it through their screens at home but there is a little bit of weather around a little bit of Thunder but all adds to the excitement Ian it’s going to be a fantastic contest let’s see let’s hope that it it passes around I love the rain absolutely love

The rain and here we go and it’ll be Kirby and it’ll be McDonald McDonald probably won the tap got the second tap got the third tap got the first kick kicks It Forward into the forward line Mark a big big Mark taken and it is just 11 seconds on the clock

And point in with a show left of center and that was Conor McDonald at his best absolutely I mean we just discussed that matchup that rock matchup it’s going to be so vital in this ground it’s probably a little bit shorter in comparison to most grounds so if you move the ball

Quickly you get to the other end very quickly so and we mentioned the the the goal kick of the major goal kicker Matt Ryan the skipper the captain for war for point and Matt Ryan left of center he is a left footer his brother who plays at Center halfback he’s the right footer

Though it’ll be just a little bit difficult for the left footer runs in but should nail this kicks on goal and I reckon he’s kicked across the face and missed it he’s just missed it so inside a minute Point open their account they are one behind yeah would take that start good

Positive signs early on with that play style should have kicked it though should have kicked it runs his full measure kicks it out big Kirby takes the mark he will play on runs around the man in the mark switch looking it’s got to be precise not precise Point have the

Ball on the ground warar defense through through the agents there of Jacko Sullivan always strong in defense the free kick paid and it’ll be the man we were talking about a little bit earlier to Lewis Campbell KAC both names synonymous with the ntfl the kacs we’ve had a few of the CAC

Boys from Katherine and Campbell we always remember him at playing Center half back for n Cliffe tenant Creek morar immediately take command Joel Hillis there’s our man Steven motlop the boundary line I say it every week and I’ll start off saying it the boundary line is the defender’s best

Friend absolutely but of course Steven mlop would love to make his mark on his game like he did in that palon game oh my goodness last year he had the ball on a string and he owned the game warar take the tap under defense slipped over with the

Football in dispute center half forward and it is warar well in attack field umire WIP bit of persperation off the football onto his shorts and up they go again McDonald one it again kicks it down the point clear hand ball out Williams sells the dummy goes inside because he was onto

His non-preferred good defensive work there Williams again has the footy part of a strong defensive area for point warar have the football center of the Ball series of hand balls through the Middle where they go field umpire finishes up on his backside Mark taking it Center half back and it’ll be warar

To Carlin Scott Carlin switches grand stand side back they go mucking around a little bit it got to be precise here Liam Holt fits on the mark warar to bring the ball forward a busy player for tars Jack Hillis Joel Hillis Hillis onto the right boot up they going

Over the back big big Mark probably touched by the man in front Ryan and a good call by the field umpire I think that he got that right that’ll be McDonald against Kirby Kirby the bigger body Kirby will give that to him so it’s two to one with McDonald in

Favor Point need to defend kick without looking kicked it out of bands on the full and it’ll be warar to take the kick on goal well within scoring distance right half forward man with a football a Abraham anchors can play this game there an Ella Springs connection wonderful wonderful player over a long

Period of time both here in the top end and in central Australia anchors kicks on goal can’t see too much there and we’re not quite sure through for a behind line by P Steven those scores should be level a point each a point each running yeah good free kick field

Umpire you missed the ball when you tried to handball it and that might have been Ethan penth kicked it across the face of goal another lineup he’s one of the bottle brond blonde Brigade bottle blonde Brigade it’s a difficult thing to say and it’s Will Clark very good

Player 5 and a half minutes in Clark to kick on goal within distance man on the mark 40 M Clark onto the left boot kicks and kicks beautifully the typical left footer aren’t they elegant off the boot first goal on the game 5 minutes and 40

Seconds in Clark gets it and warar hit the front 117 point one behind yeah it was just a bit of a arm wrestle I think there for the most part of these opening basically six minutes now as we just tick into that but just good play there

To Center the ball obviously the uh previous play going through for behind he was smart enough to Center the ball there and that was really good there good teamwork and I think obviously with the celebrations we saw world time most of the team got around him so clearly

They came here to play in well and indeed they should they’re on 28 points together with four other t with three other teams so four teams on 28 points it’s more it must win for point point through McDonald in the middle of the ground swings around he rucks and he

Rows swings around onto his right boot goes to Center half forward the defense of warar been good all season and again this is no exemp Dylan Collis kicks forward point at Center halfback across the face of goal Warick Williams had a bit of it early Williams goes back got to be precise

Is point will clear they switch they will clear not a very good kick immediately they’re under pressure the defensive point have got to work over time because of an errant kick and a and a poor decision I reckon yeah I think though despite there is a bit of weather around the ground looks

Pretty dry from our perspective here and so skill issues shouldn’t be that common but it will cost you against War tell they are they are the top side for a reason they will swoop their percentage near enough to 200 they can defend and they can kick goal so they’ve got it all

Stitched up and their Midfield is not bad either this is anchors sells the dummy goes onto the right boot gets forward defense through motlop mlop goes back McDonald slips over an error in defense you can’t afford you got to keep he should have the long stops in probably has but he slipped over

Nonetheless and the ball still in War’s forward area certainly well inside their forward 50 they’ve had all of the opportunities 117 tars point one behind coming up 8 minutes into q1 tossed in by the bandry Umpire over the back McDonald gets it hand balls to no one in

Particular Point’s got some work to do defensively Point through Nathan Nolan late call from the Umpire but the right one in the end I reckon I think you’re right yeah it was a l call switched had a bit of it Harrison Mah M goes forward where’s the where’s the footy

Warar Defenders on top again the defense of warar they’ve had some work to do and done it nicely can’t kick a well they’ve kicked one goal they’ve had it in their forward line they go forward strong work got rid of it quickly mlop once again he’s had he’s

Had his hand on the football about half a dozen times already so he’s uh he’s earned his celery so far he probably has to pay to get into the g into the game I’m not sure quite what his celery would be but not much I wouldn’t

Imagine 117 the T 117 tars the pointers one behind they’ve had their chances tossed in over the back the chop out Ruckman there Toby Hut for warar got in front Mr footy defense Under Pressure spin Arnold Kirby goes by hand nicely forward they go another nice one now the long kick

Forward out to Kirby he’s having a rest in the ru but he’s not having a rest away from the footy they pick him out hard man to miss big man Arnold Kirby goes forward the mark taken in defense Harrison mAh again had a bit of it Mah nice kick

Forward still inside defensive 50 point told to move it on gets it back to Ethan penth penth further in defense what’s on offer not much magro waiting magro hasn’t had a touch yet prolific goal kicker has been for two or three seasons with warar the Vice Captain Jaden magro

Warar this time nice long kick over the back can’t take the mark the defense of War warar Supreme ball Falls Loosely War Williams looking for it can’t find the handle warar Defenders run and do it with consumate consumate ease gets on the left foot and this is where they’re breaking down because

Equally as effective is the point defense here they go looks for Williams G he’s had a bit of it early free kick hanging on that’s why they have three umpires and the free kick warar in defense outside defensive 50 playing on the outer here at dxc Arena ball on the

Ground Kirby in the mix point forward bit of slipping over Ryan that time it was lan Cassidy slick hand ball out to Cassidy Cassidy goes forward no Mark taken in defense Brad Ryan brother of Brody mlop onto the left foot we know where he gets that from because I think

His dad’s a left foot was probably still is a left footer Premiership play with North Melbourne’s Shannon mlop coaching point the green ANS cross it goes Will Clark another possession for him terrible kick forward Alex pulling here we go lines up Kicks on goal keep your eye on that player

And out of bounds on the full oh don’t worry about B him so the player has to fit the rubbish to our left is all the action the weather action yeah Sun’s still shining brightly from the sunset behind us but the clouds are rolling in so

Therefore the West must be behind us the the Westerly direction is behind us of course it is if the sun’s setting out there mhm spot on point to bring the ball back into play the rang oh going I’m going to get a touch here but I’d just like to point out between Conor

McDonald and uh Kirby it seems like Conor is kind of owning the rck contest at the moment but everywhere else it’s all Kirby at the moment that’s what it seems like so I think McDonald’s just got to follow Kirby a bit more he’s got the rock Supremacy but can he do it

Around the ground yeah it’s interesting to see where the chop at is because big Toby H Hut Kirby in front that time probably won the tap ball on the ground ball in dispute Lin Cassidy had a bit of it early Point head down backside up playing hard kicked it off the ground

Fortuitously and wrapped up in the tackle and uh good decision by the field umpire ball slightly in favor of warar in their attacking area grand stand side no one won the tap again wrapped up field umire no option take Two yeah but seems like a round three REM C all over again at the moment everything’s even isn’t it the scoreboard not so well I mean it’s not much difference is he warar L Rising a little bit forward Lan Cassidy had a bit of it nice tackle the tackling has been very good

And the tackling has been low nothing silly nothing high up they fly ball on the ground in dispute and Jack Parker was dominant in defense there as we see uh Mitch pmer spare number out the back for Pine nice high throwing it’s got to be got to be big battle the secondary

Picked up that time by Sam kelel we call him often he’s such a tough player on the nonpreferred left was Liam halt Fitz but can kick play on an Advantage called good umpiring warar go forward but only as far as the Rock at Center half back the F umpire called play on there

For some reason that’s Harrison Mah once again he’s played well across half back they want to go back they want to keep the ball in defense again got to be precise got to be extremely precise we’ve got a big Post in our way here from the camera we might have to move

That forward after the at quarter time ball on the ground in dispute Point pick it up Elliot ch armers and he just sweated on him and the field onire had no option wrapped him up ball and all and we’ll have the bounce with the point slightly in Attack

Grand stand side 15 coming up 16 minutes warar 117 point one behind the goal kicker Will Clark for warar cross the body over the back Brody mlop the rangy Brody mlop there’s the brother of nice work Brad Ry such a rocking defense gets it out to Elliot Charmers strong in the Midfield Charmers

Across the face of goal I keep saying they’ve got to be precise they’ve mucked this up warar into attack kick to no one in particular or I kicked on goal no minor score don’t want to make a mistake around Anthony mon Cara he’s super talented so warar

128 16 coming up 17 minutes quick play the ball back they go Mark in the middle of the grand immediately hits the grand plays on Charmers Charmers up forward who can take the mark the defensive warar reigned Supreme ball in dispute on the ground gang tackle but really had no prior and

No opportunity so the field umpire a correct call Will ball it up but Point well in attack left half forward grand stand side Kirby in front man over the back at Tom was SM who’s might be the chop out Ruckman for Point series of hand balls got to be

Precise I keep saying that but they just must be in defense when they muck around instead of uh getting the ball forward looking for the opening looking for the set play cross the face of goal ball in dispute warar in control Point defense been equally as as efficient Ethan

Penrith together with Steven mlop and Warick Williams former solid backline and um Brad Ryan the big man at Center halfback is terrific Benjamin SMI the chop out Ruckman SMI goes forward kicks it to the hot spot but over the back the strong Mark taken warar have just got

The ball on a string deep in defense what do they do looking out and looking out nicely there for Brody Carroll Carol doesn’t let him down goes outside with the hands onto the left foot they’ve got a a million left Footers but the kick is poor another left

Footer that wasn’t poor that was a great kick Kyle Kirk on the wing centers the football goes in the corridor Luke Partington cross the face of goal pardington good player has been all season for the pointers here they go a hand ball their way out of Defense wonderful slung after

He disposed of the football yaring on the ball but we’re only 19 minutes into q1 can’t imagine there’ll be too much time given the one goal Brody motlop got a player wide ignores him Harrison Mah he’s been a good player hasn’t had the chance as we get the shelter

Up I can feel a drizzle With the Wind favoring the warar end Nathan Nolan looks for the ball out Wide War Williams lets him down tackle no free kick well umpired oh high tackle there somewhere don’t winge don’t whine accidents don’t count warar have the footy William Collis goes forward

Quickly just a bit of panic from everyone some drizzle coming down but we’re all good here tossed in by the banry Umpire warar in defense they’ve got the wi they’ve got the breeze pushed out of the contest that time was Toby Hut play on called the Umpire Steven motlop chip chip usually

Precise this time is precise Again that might be War Williams out there had a ton of the football Williams kicks long and I think the breeze took it out of bands on the four it’s the rain tumbles down inside forward 50 make the most of it tars rainbow at nights a shepherd’s

Delight we’ve got a A Rainbow in the distance and there’s the siren it is quarter time warar leading one two eight point one behind one yeah it’s just been a pretty good quarter so far very much the arm wrestle that we predicted it would be but yeah seven points of

Difference in favor of warar things looking good for them now but we’ll be right back after this short break For [Applause] [Applause] The Let’s get this game out way here at stadium in [Applause] the girls play their their hearts out um and obviously it’s not what we play 666 and seven on the bench so it was a little bit different um but you know what we can’t ask for anything more than girls put their bodies on the line and

And they and they went in and they went hard and you know some of it was unrewarded but that’s Pretty [Applause] well welcome back viewers I know this is slightly inconvenient but at the moment we are without a scoreboard just due to conditions we’ve had to race around just trying to get things settled in but P with a quick clearance and a quick set shot in yeah and directly in front and

Uh it won’t be an easy kick even though they’ve got a bit of Breeze behind them P kicking to the airport end in Q2 at quarter time it was warar leading by 7.1 128 to one behind point the perfect start Matt Ryan kicks on goal and like

He did in the first quarter misses to the left hand side so that’s two behinds we do apologize we will get that scoreboard back up as quickly as we can ball brought back into play free kick warar in defense kicks a gold here particularly in defense onto the left foot outside

Defensive 50 point in front I’ll get it and that’s Harrison Mah once again has been a good player Mah goes to motlop Steven motlop motlop bangs the ball forward as he does with a big strong Market Center halfback by one of the normal good players down there and that’ll be uh

Might have been uh Brody incado his first touch start of the game on the bench tall Defender do apologize about that Interruption viewers we are figuring it out if some equipment’s got wet so we’re they’re working hard but and I’m not touching anything don’t put the blame on me but

Quick exit from tars Kirby with the spoil ball on the ground in dispute wrapped up field umpire call play on Good umpiring again all up so yeah it’s going to be a bit of a scrap Fest now ground’s wet everything’s wet fuel rire tosses the ball up left half forward point in

Attack hand ball tars out of trouble favor the outer on the ground High tackle free kick and the man who’s played pretty well Joel Hillis for warar takes the free kick Hillis lays it off nicely tars in attack can they use it no they can’t not quite yet War Williams Gonna Get tackled

Kicks the ball kicks Under Pressure hard at the football high tackle in there probably a high tackle and a sling tackle but no he threw the ball away point will clear Brad Ryan motlop Steven motlop I’ve got a there a couple mlops out there there’s one coaching Steven motlop goes forward finds Elliot

Charmers Charmers forward finds Harrison mAh [Applause] ma lays off by hand you can see the 50 m Arc there not quite there the defense of warar needs to be on top of this and they are series of hand balls out that time it it is Jacko Sullivan Sullivan he

Is such a reliable Defender forward they go hand ball kick on goal keep your eye on this and he’s kick the goal the left footer couldn’t quite snuff for who that was but just really good ball movement there from tars especially in these kinds of conditions super wet and of course

Actually both pint and wara are tied at the best disposal efficiency at the league at 74% in so both of those stats getting tested to their limits at the moment in these conditions back in the middle Arnold Kirby in there warar 22 Point get to register a goal couple of shots on goal Kirby and he’s uh he’s up against the McDonald point this time go forward warar defenses been up to it free kick given away and as the rain starts to settle down now big shot on goal for Pine they

Need this Matt Ryan the left footer has two behinds to his name point on the scoreboard have two behinds needs this this is the captain’s goal that they need well it is pretty much directly in front it is getable got a hefty left foot Ryan the skipper kicks on goal this time

He misses to the left hand side so three shots on goal three behinds point on the OU no Mark Mark is dropped series of hand balls had one option ignored him went to the corridor and probably shouldn’t have gone to the corridor and this is probably the best

Player on the ground so so far point on ball War Williams and the crowd love this guy I they love him a lot former wandrers player and it’s been a revelation with point this year together with Steven mlop down back Ethan penth has been another great defender for the pointers

With of course the big right footer brother of the skipper Brad Ryan but it’s War Williams all eyes on Williams Williams kicks on goal and slipped off hits the post out on the full hit the behind post accuracy they cannot buy a goal no no they can’t in you’re

Right they’ve got the territory though they just need to capitalize now morar big long kick outside defensive 50 Matt Ryan down there series of hand balls task go clear Mark taking Center Half Back That should be 50 knocked the ball out anchors don’t know why that wasn’t 50 switch Steven

Mlop usually reliable on the right boot here they go the rangy player out there that time is Toby Hut ran into a wonderful tackle how did to get rid of the football not quite sure under huge amounts of pressure kick on goal warar in the ascendency they got plenty of crumbers

Down there tars absolutely just a sea of red on the screen Jaden magros down there Brody Carroll hand ball out big kick on goal around the body at of band’s left full forward tars well and truly in control here they lead tars couple of goals point so far

Goalless 11 points the difference it seems like they’ve got their scoreboard working here at dxc so 11 points in the favor of tars quick exit so the rain has settled the rain has gone bandry umpire McDonald Kirby Kirby big body left hand got the football knocks it to his

Player it’s willing isn’t it but played in good spirit hard at the football there is Alex pulling has had a good game oh kick the ball and kicking in danger free kick fi onp well done Steven montop not paid the advantage not sure why he wasn’t paid the advantage he chose to play

On Kick Out Wide Point seemed to the advantage in [Applause] paste flipped out Jaden magro ever ever alert but Jaden magro in defense one of the competition’s leading goal kicker and there as he gets up he was gang tackled he says I’ll have a piece of

This I can’t kick a goal from here but I can stop one great play here he is Kirby got the tap again Kirby seems to get his hand to the football now whereas McDonald dominated early see if you can keep an eye on that on that player no

Score Ball Deep in defense p in attack about 15 20 Meers around from their goal at right full forward yeah I think that was Benjamin Smite there with the quick ball too another good opportunity here for p they can nail their chances in in front Conor McDonald knocks the

Ball down defensively which is what the Ruckman should do and the Ruckman did do so we’ll have the field b ball up they won’t bounce they ball it up same two combatants McDonald got a fingertip to it throws the ball out the defensive warar working overtime Center half forward Mark

Taken he’s had a fair bit of the foot he but cannot kick a goal no needs something from nothing long ball to the top of the goal Square trickles through for another behind in 04 the p 22 warar getting their shots on goal in but it’s just not going through the Big

Sticks it is not tars to bring the ball back into play Kick lovely long kick outside defensive 50 on the outer here at dxc Arena but point they will not give up they c a crack same amount of scoring shots a kick off the ground Point defense once again

Strong they can stop goals and they can kick goals Point that’s why their percentage is close to 200 here we go slip the ball out again the defens of warar working overtime ball out of bounds on the wings Ste mlop can’t bring it [Applause] back couple of the warar players haven’t

Had much of the footy Dwayne kieru is one small forward probably not the right conditions for a small forward although the ball’s going to drop it’s going to be on the ground so the small forwards have got to earn their keep short throw in by the bandry Umpire

Should have been called back the Ruckman had no chance neither Ruckman perhaps they should settle them eles closer to the bandry Umpire that one in particular Lan Cassidy been strong yeah just kind of continuing with that arm wrestle at the moment probably more thanks to the conditions rather than anything else but

Yeah P still looking for that major Kirby throws his opponent out of the way and the field umpire said nah that’s not according to hoil and so the free kick will go to Conor McDonald was the chop out Ruckman Point go further forward no Mark taken which is what you’d expect under these

Conditions the ball like a cake of soap big strong man there in Joel Hillis been Ward’s one of his their better players a fumble you can’t afford a Bumble ball on the ground cleverly off the ground toward the boundary line and the boundary line will win what’s the

Field umpire going to do no throw it in please some big bodies out there which is what they need morck Williams lurking Kirby won the tap again he’s taken over control in The Ruck Williams can’t he just cannot find the handle Warick Williams unfortunately for him and for p he’s been

Terrific in dispute Anthony monara he can’t find the handle either but he’s not Robinson Caruso ball on the ground big Arnold he can he doesn’t care Warick Williams this time takes the mark sells the dummy will go backwards oh dear silly silly dragged off the football good umpiring took the roll forward

Warar further forward this might be kicking top of the square top of the square who’s there waiting for it Lan Cassidy and he liks to go to the top of the goal square and defensively the pointers they too good he probably should have had more of a crack there Brody motlop he’s

Got it second effort was pretty good motlop swings onto the left boot goes to the wing on the outer handball out of Defense Arnold Kirby is everywhere just taken over in the ru Kirby pinpoint accuracy goes forward and the mark oh if it was not a

Mark it’s a high tackle no play on called the Umpire probably a correct decision she was much closer three onone here another warar player comes in and just takes control who is it Jack O salivan O salivan he goes forward looking out there for William Collis out of bounds and will be thrown

Back in but it’s been a very much the arm wrestle so can assume there’s probably not too much time left we are working on getting that back up as we speak apologies for all the viewers slowly coming back to reaction isn’t it that was a tap that time to

McDonald The Ruck tap very good those series of hand balls but they’ve mucked it up been strong out there is Dwayne kenua over the football hasn’t had much of it lovely defensive tackle picked up kick on goal and there’s another goal just trying to find who that is

Is that Will Clark in there Ian no 23 23 it is Tyson McKenzie Tyson McKenzie very good so that gives uh warar a distinct Advantage doesn’t it so warar go to 32 warar 3-2 yeah just working through the scores at the moment slowly but surely we’re getting them

Back but yeah three goals two in favor of warar to 04 for p Kirby Tom McDonald got his fist to it oh GE they’re good in defense warar they just let nothing through it is watertight down there nice hand over the top Lin Cassidy been very good

Cassidy gets it out War Williams he’s been equally as good for point mark paid just inside forward 50 will take a herculian effort ball on the ground ball in dispute ball out of bounds left full forward Point their first real chance I reckon they’ve got to kick a goal they

Must kick a goal as we’re closing in on half time warar 3220 point four behind 16-point lead to tars you reckon we’re closing in on halftime got to be got to be Ball’s been flying around a fair bit hand Ball kicked off balance Jack gleon they got a few jacks down there in

Defense Jack Gleason Jacko Sullivan that’s warar in defense ball in the ground ball in dispute well done Lan Cassidy being a good player in the clinches Cassidy helps to get the ball forward the the rain stopped I don’t know what that is but the rain stopped ping down mlop sells

The dummy ball knocked out ball knocked out silly running into an open goal and sells the dummy and same thing what is going on yeah lovely defense Ethan Smith he’s got to settle things down now trying to do play dry weather footy and it I reckon it’s raining couldn’t tell

Than I reckon no I reckon it is I know these things B kicked across goal not sure why ball in dispute G where he got swung and flung off the football Lewis Campbell KAC second effort pretty good Campbell KAC still on his hands and knees well done to the young man Jacko Sullivan

Kicks the ball off the ground Point defending grimly one against three and I reckon the boundary line might win there uh just for a correction for all the viewers to apologize that will it was Will Clark who kicked the previous goal for warar apologies to everyone not

Tyson McKenzie Will Clark so Clark has got two goals two of the three which are crucial of course in a low-scoring game or at least at this stage at least there’s no Thunder no Lightning Point foot is a wet weather game not 15 yeah good call by the field umpire

Picked up that time by Lan Cassidy we’ve called him often Cassidy been a dominant player see if you can pick up where he played if if we get a center bance or a bance please Ryan absolutely we’ll keep an eye on it a free kick R them

Cowboy now where are we we’re at right half forward just inside the forward 50 for T I reckon so massive shot on goal will Collis here’s the siren it is close in fact it is half time col to kick after the siren can nail this top of the table warar playing fifth place

Point Collis to kick on goal he is one of the plethora of left Footers distance will be an issue distance was an issue it is halftime warar 3220 point four behinds goal scorers Will Clark has a couple Brody Carroll has one for warar and there are no goal kickers the

Point because they are no goals for behinds yeah well in it’s wet season 40 at its absolute finest at the moment but we will be right back after this short [Applause] break comprehensive car insurance if you have an accident covered by your policy we are here to help with the reasonable

Foies we signed our daughter up for Oz cuz her big brother did OD kick last year and she just loves it I feel like signing her up for a girls only group would be a great chance for her to kind of be with some friends um in a comfortable

Swings around on the right boot now drills the pass in towards the goal square and Nate parites has read that perfectly he was there all by himself right on the goal line and a pretty easy goal in the end but now CH when who’s run down from fullback gets on the end

Of the hand pass kicks long inside forward 50 a beautifully weighted pass finds CER C’s got players running into the goal Square he goes out wide and perides it is he swings around all the way through if it’s not touched on the line by his teammate it’s not forward

And once again it was peris who went forward Carson can just smashes that one forward and Brendan canilla runs onto it bounces twice kicks long towards goal from Center half forward and there’s an answer within seconds from from T goes by hand off to Dary and Dary kicks short

Towards half for babo is there gives it back to Dary who kept running he kicks long towards go now think this one’s going to go all the way it is and just gets over the line beats the St Mary’s Defenders and Sam Dary gets on the board

For ball up about 20 M out from the Saints goal holder doing the ru work this time gets it out wide Dylan land on the right foot boot snaps it towards goal and it’s gone through along inside 450 Jackson CER once again got good position but still the Mark got the hand

Pass out to Jack lant Saints have got a couple of players running towards it Jack Lance’s kick bounces in the goal square and uh just taken down there by Mason St swings around onto the left Boot and bangs it through I think TS go out side of the ground this time out but

Pass comes over the top Stanley tpur is in a bit of space inside 50 now he kicks long towards goal I think this one’s better it is sure what happened there play stop but over the top gets a hand pass forward now a swooping hand pass

Over the top here’s a chance for Tu running into the open goal with a bounce from deep in the pocket this kick towards goal is good I’m not really sure who the player was but uh that was good use of the ball by T going forward back of the marking contest ground

Level Jimmy just struggled to pick it up but now it’s a quick kick forward down towards goal it’s gone all the way through for tewe goal as uh the Saints play down I think that’s bban moderate marries might be done BR the ball back into play straight up the middle of the

Ground and he finds Tipp M TI M goes long down towards half for here’s a chance for TW as running onto it is Roy farmer Roy farmer straightens Up Kicks towards goal and just straightened it up inside that left hand goal pass uh the game has been called off by the match

Managers at the ground unfortunately the lightning is just far too close for the action unfortunate due to this game now being canell and per the rules T bombers will be awarded the four points with a Sixpoint win 8159 to same as 8553 B another left footer this time goes back bad and we normally see him down back waist coat up he goes and it takes the mark to juggle one two came off the hand waste coat over his left shoulder and Stanley waste coat the first goal of

The game three and a half minutes in Kura up they go ball on the ground in dispute kicked off the ground at shot of goal running around and into an open goal wonderful wonderful work there Michael Mumy has the goal kicked five last we he’s underneath the ball

Couldn’t take the mark Matthew Dennis nice hand ball out hand ball over the top wae coat does it beautifully Stanley waste coat gives it to Matthew Dennis and thank you very much the quick reply got plenty on of it got plenty on it over the top the

Defense wanders in the forward half on the outside of the boot in their forward line Dennis over the back in the Schwarz Direction taken high in the tackle play on ball comes out big Cox kicks on goal I reckon Cox has nailed this he kicked it out of his

You know what and he’s nailed it on the nonpreferred left so right footer looks like he’s going to go drop punt here too so goes the check side oh it’s a wonderful that’s a great goal how good was that missed or was it a goal no it’s a goal

It was a goal yep what’s he got also leading player there pushed out by Matthew motlop Anderson over his shoulder and I reckon Anderson’s kicked that George Jed Anderson he has three all in this second ter no free kick kick on goal cross the face big chance

Here lovely kick inside picked up by cabillo and cabillo goals that just beautiful attacking work from wanders there after disposal waste coat lurking ball on the ground George gets it back spots a teammate running into an open goal and I reckon he’s got it he has got

It that’s Michael dong on Debo got a goal for southern district well done to him the ball out in the direction of the goal still in the corridor no high tackle should have knocked the ball out Anderson says give it to me I’ll get it I’ll take it and

Has five loves that end he kick de 33 seconds sorry into the term and he’s got his fifth looking forward over the back no Mark taken got work harder in defense easy as you like and that’s number six I reckon that’s number six and that was Jed

Anderson fighting each other to get to the football B had time to turn onto his left had time to turn on to his left and the chance to kick uh number 10 goal number 10or out get the protractor out is about one degree off center and he Nails it for number 10 b

M 2316 154 terrific effort to Wanderers 6642 that’s what marked them up a minute ago Antonio James now maybe not the right decision trying to get the ball out was lofas but he’s under pressure Brody Pho picks it up puts it on the right and finally a goal in this game at the eight

Nearly 9 Minute Mark of the first quarter to Brody follow Stokes hell off to mat Campbell Campbell’s kick is punched away night Cliff havit shot on goal now again by Roger Morris it’s gone over the top of hands and that should be a second goal for the Tigers Roger

Morris Stokes with the hand ball out just can’t take possession there Dro Ball by Buffs tackle pressure now tigers with it Moody running into goal kicks it punches the air and the tiger got their third goal on the board to Zack Moody Now by lofter Joey Collison swings

Around but front position night Cliff Tigers doesn’t take the mark and a good tackle there Collinson gets Loftus again gets it back takes his time kicks it and he’s kicked a goal and the buffalo have kicked the last two in a road getting the kick away zav granny slung as he

Kicked it I think play on was the call so Tommy Clark gets it across to Palmer Palmer has a shot on goal now Buffs have kicked three in a row and they’ve hit the lead for the first time in this game at 18-minute Mark of the second quarter

Little chip kick now they’ve done this all night finding lus Loftus kick misses Tommy Clark picked up by Jake Twi cross sends it through for a goal just what the Tigers needed buy but picked up by Kara gets a kick away as he’s tackled off the ball must

Have been touched cuz the Umpire said play on Ki Now by Twi cross gone through for a goal so tigers with the opening goal of the third quarter behind Nikki there picks it up hles backwards in the goal Square to who gives it back to Nikki gets his kick away but only as

Far as well welcome back viewers round 12 of the 20232 24 Tio ntfl men’s Premier League season clash between first and fifth it is wet season footy like you’ve never see it and we’ve got the scoreboard back we have got the scoreboard back and as we can see it’s

Interesting P at halftime haven’t managed to kick a goal certainly a the skipper there Brad ry’s had three direct shots and hasn’t got one yet obviously because they haven’t kicked a goal warar have kicked 3-2 at halim even though P haven’t kicked the goal they only Trail

By 16 points which is insurable in modern day football but maybe the weather although the skies have cleared not quite is it raining it is raining as we can well we’re getting a perfect example of the skills at the moment on screen but good to see all the families

Out and about still at the footy pouring rain on a Saturday night it was pretty good conditions earlier today nice and cool bit of cloud around but no it’s the heavens have opened again honest but yeah so what what a point need to do to get back I mean the their their defense

Is holding up they and it’s been the same all season because their percentage is pretty ordinary when you compare them against the top four teams uh the the game the the team sort of snapping at their heels uh are day on Buffalo their percentage is not all that flash either

But pint need to find an Avenue yeah you’re right pint currently sitting at 100 % base nearly exactly about 44% behind night cliff in fourth place obviously per the results later tonight but it really is that that sixth place isn’t it yeah absolutely spot on but I think what you’re saying about pint

They’re key to getting back into this game I think it comes with Warwick Williams actually he’s been floating around he’s got plenty of the balls so far but I think he just has to go that step further now at this point just seems like it’s going to be orchestrated

All through H and so it’s to come from him do you want him to play he and perhaps Steven mlop off halfback do you want them to play selfish footy Get It Forward at all and and just just the weight of numbers get the ball forward get the ball forward get the

Ball forward uh well I think in the reain it has to be a territory battle it has to come from it h it just has to go forward as often as they can get it there it has to go forward and I think obviously just mentioned Steven mop I

Think also what he did against paliston all those weeks ago it has to be something he’s got to recreate now it can’t be obviously just Warwick Williams and I think the Rockman Conor Mc Donald has also maybe just gone a little bit missing in that second term was pretty

Good that first quarter but second term just kind of fell away a little bit it was all Arnold Kirby wasn’t it really having an influence well he has because when he gets it he he Taps it to uh to Advantage but I think across the board from both sides you could almost argue

It’s been a quiet game for a lot of players I mean obviously the rain has taken full effect so don’t really blame them but yeah just looking for some standouts now who can actually be clean because I think over the course of this whole season we haven’t had very many

Games affected by rain of course probably the most recent being that tewe Saints one in the last round of last year where tewe got over the line due to the lightning rule obviously that won’t take play in this game which is fantastic for footy but yeah just who’s going to be the

Cleanest that man just going off screen now Jaden magro is is one that hasn’t really I’m not sure whether he’s had a possession but uh certainly hasn’t kicked a goal the goal scorers in the game so far we’ve got Brody Carrol has one and Will Clark a couple of goals so

They’ve been the ones that have got on the board and I and I I don’t want to harp too much on it but gee Brad Ryan the captain we need a uh he needs to straighten up he’s had plenty of the football playing at Cent half for the

Toughest position on the ground to play he’s had the footy but je missed three that he should have got two of them absolutely and I think looking at the stats here some probably key stats as we go into this second half pint ranked second for both one percenters and spoil

So I’m sure that will come into it at some point warar ranked third for 1% as in spoil so obviously not much in it no absolutely not so they know they can really do the work it’s just about capitalizing being clean can they do that 16o lead to warar 3220 Point who

We’re playing at dxc Arena the home ground of the pointers on the right of the screen number 18 we see Conor McDonald and his direct opponent we just can’t quite see him yet but I reckon it will be Arnold Kirby Lan Cassidy we see with the Bal

Head just on the left of the screen there not sure whether it’s a BAL head or whether it’s a shaved head it doesn’t matter but he’s had plenty of the football he’s got two ticks so far it’s only half time so he must have played a good game

Absolutely here we go Kirby McDonald ball flipped out first goal crucial another big player there Joel Hillis has been very good for warar Point have the football through Nathan Nolan been all right magro kicks and misses we got a blank shot there on the screen Steven

Mlop disappears warar 33 21 it should be 33 warar kick the ball back in ball Falls a bit short working overtime out they go McDonald goes by hand looks out there for a teammate in Kyle Kirk but the warar defense just been so good all night but Point Clear the footy

Forward they go Ethan penrith can’t take a mark down forward warar will switch a favor the grand stand side looking out there couldn’t take the mark probably should have made a better effort than that is Tyson McKenzie good news on the radar in is that the rain is moving away so oh we

Love the rain we love the rain it’s the it’s the nectar of the Gods can’t live without freshh water boundry umpire on the wing tosses the ball in Kirby pushed off the contest McDonald rucks McDonald roves goes across his body forward J the big Ruckman they they’ve had their moments McDonald ruled

The first quarter point running around got to defend hard kick on goal and I re has they got their first no they haven’t ball on the ground ball in dispute warar defense dragged off the footy fortuitous Mark there taken that time by Abraham anchors started the game off well anchors we

Know his form across both of the major footy Co codes in the Northern Territory Brody mlop the rangy bro mlop yeah pay the mark pay the mark and he did or the field umpire did OT Charmers wasteful effort there just to go back out wide it wasn’t

On but just got to hold the ball up in these situations when it’s wet like this you can’t afford to uh play Fancy footy dry weather football out because as we can see it’s still raining McDonald pushes his opponent off the footy and that is uh Hut this time

Swings around kicks onto the left behind another behind Steven mlops got to fetch his own footy jumps the fence once jumps the fence twice very agile still the young man and disappears mlop takes a bounce how about that in the way that’s a confident effort bangs the ball outside

Defensive 50 no Mark taken ball on the ground which is not surprising is still slippery like a cake of soap warar the reigning Premier warar so we expect something from them there he is Jaden magro kicks on goal nailed it and he has again the ball disappeared from view but magro kicks on

Goal that’s his first goal of the game but importantly it opens the goal scoring in this third turn warar move on to 3422 4428 24-point lead over the pointers no goals and four behind Jaden magro swoops and that’s all he needs yeah well you spoke about him just before the start of

The third quarterb he’s going to be the one to lift for warar and it’s like he heard you in he he’s just made an impact already adding to his already very large goal tally for this season he’s interesting and it’s interesting that uh warar rely on him um

St Mary’s rely on CER and certainly Branda is relied on very much by Southern districts the key forwards are the focus here they go McDonald won the tap McDonald again rucked McDonald roved kicks the ball forward they need a goal that’s just that’s an understatement dragged off the footy n the defense of

Warar has stood firm all night away they go and the mark taken that time Point swings around Robbie Barton baru free kick being paid not too sure which way it’s going at the moment warar free so they’ll get away with one here tars Alex pulling deep in defense

Five minutes in point Kick It Forward nice kick nice Mark taken that time by Benjamin SMI the chop out Ruckman but again silly play McDonald Conor McDonald tried to take the mark couldn’t take the mark ball on the ground ball in dispute this time Brody Carroll the left footer did he no he

Wasn’t he’s got to use his Pace hasn’t had much of the football Steven Lop uses his pace and his nass and he’s precise kicking War Williams pay the mark play on called the Umpire Hut over the football the big man for warar they’re not afraid to put their

Head over the footy Kirby kicks It Forward nice Mark taken pulling played a good game Alex pulling kicks forward finds a teammate will Collis Collis further forward warar just backward of the center still two and a half kicks out from goal not sure what uh what that was in Aid of he

Towed the football now they got to do it all over again the warar defense anchors sells the dummy gets the ball out wide goes wider Will Clark goal kicker has two gets the ball forward picks out a teammate Robbie bti she where ball knocked front and square and just missed to the

Left might be the behinds that get Tes over the line at the moment but P need to get something on the board right now mlop will he have another run and bance normally he runs runs a meter bounces this time he doesn’t goes with all his might looking for McDonald in the McDonald

Direction good umpiring Williams ball smother that’s courageous when they smother the football off the boot good work in defense magro couldn’t take the mark get it out wide hasn’t had much of the football this time is Liam hord strong Mark taken Mitch pulmer pulmer goes by hand gets it for big big chance

This time Ethan penth they need this in they need it pretty much directly in front what’s he doing gives it off oh gives it off to war Williams War Williams runs his full measure and misses another behind why I mean one can ask the question why there’s obviously a reason why warar

Bring the ball back in had their chance ball on the ground Kirby fresh air shot mlop she had a lot of the football Williams and mlop have been Sensational for the pointers keep your eye on that player ball on the ground ball in dispute another minor score so

Point six behind six trailing warar 4529 but they’re still in it you know mathematically on the scoreboard short kick forward 23 points pulling Mark taken the big man The Tall Man the rangy Toby Hut he goes forward good tackle flipped the ball out by hand Point hard up against it

Defensively another hand ball mlop he’ll use all of his Co Poise and experience slick hand ball running in to an open goal tumbles it forward and uh another behind another behind for the warar or warar I should you say apologize yeah that’s all right so 46 four straight it’s only four kicks yeah

30 plays six well P would have the lead if they had have kicked straight kick off the ground nice work they haven’t given up the pointers but a few of them a few of them have certainly certainly got a lift armed scow hasn’t had much of the

Footy it’s not necessarily his day even though the ball will be on the ground field umpire Kirby and gu who McDonald Kirby can’t push him off the football Kirby wins the tap gets it out nicely the left foot grubbers It Forward I’m sure he didn’t mean to point defend yeah nice Mark

Taken the strength that time of will Collis and probably experience too ball on the ground bro mlop you’ll go on to the left foot swings around taken to the ground and a good free kick paid by the field umpire because uh took him to the ground he took him on

Mlop called to play on onto the left boot over the back hand ball over to motlop so Williams and motlop have just been outstanding for Point that’s Steven mlop no disrespect to Brody absolutely not and Shannon’s not playing I saw him com in at half time he he was

Wet so he was obviously not too bothered about the rain McDonald in front McDonald wins a tap defensively ball on the ground in dispute and running the ball over the boundary line that time Nathan Nolan who hasn’t been too bad at all yeah but warar sneak one here things

Could get well pretty ugly yeah I think you’re right even though there still only four goals in it tossed in bandry umpire porar in defense Hut over the back dragged off the football the big man over there in Hillis has been terrific tear of strength ball

Forward played on was he taken high in the tackle might have been not according to the field umpire was a good tackle but I thought it was high anyway the field uniring has been exceptional in pretty tough conditions magro looking for the free kick look for the football don’t hold the man he’s

Holding the football in magro and working hard to deny him that point get the clearance G too far out to score of me thinks Ryan backs himself though so well it looks like he is isn’t it where’s Kirby we see Kirby there with his hands on his hips

No one down there to take a mark magro off the ground long kick forward over the back over the back and a rush behind or is it out of bounds out of bounds but mon car unfortunately the ball was in the way but went up for Mark of the year

But dangerous dangerous signs for p right now needs something here it’s Hut ball Falls Clear Point over the back big chance here point to get some run get some run a fumble not good stole the footy that was an early Christmas present that time for a terrific player in Alex pulling

Pulling running to the interchange bandry umpire Under Pressure tosses the ball in well done in front McDonald flips the ball around Kirby you get tackled by him you’re in trouble he’s a big big man his arms at least wrap around you ball came out in the tackle good effort

Good umpiring didn’t try very hard to knock it out Kirby where’s McDonald there he is comes into the picture Kirby got the fingernail to it anchors courageous and clever anchors swings around onto the right boot ball again warar have had most of the play probably 80% of the football in their

Forward line but the but the point defense has been up to it yeah it’s good courage from P oh terrific yep you’re right under pressure for a lot of this game and to finally concede the four goals 15 minutes in still in this contest the pointers short throw in the Ruckman are

Up to that and they’re ready for that and running the ball out of bounds is Lan Cassidy who’s also been a good player for warar just wonder wondering who might burst through the pack here for Point who’s going to be the hero oh you’re you’re ging them up aren’t you we we

Need point over the back McDonald usually rucks usually rowes that time he rucked and that time he flipped the ball out his second efforts have just been outstanding warar kick the ball forward Point defense working overtime clever Randy goes onto the left foot kick falls short don’t know why he didn’t bomb it

It’s wet wet wether someone tell him it’s wet weather conditions unless just Steven motlop who can kick with absolute Precision motlop sees a teammate get the ball forward ball on the ground in dispute flipped out O Sullivan who was so good early in the game in defense probably got enough on

That no incorrect disposal good sheer off the ball even you could have paid that run oh WWE style that was and I Reon and so that’s me Harding goes forward can they get a goal can they manufacture something warar defense has been outstanding as has point and I think the

Scoreboard reflects that doesn’t it six behinds to 46 absolutely that just whenever the ball comes to the ground it just feels like warar is just right there all the time at the moment so but it is in War it is in the Pint forward line left half

Forward Hut knocks It Forward kick off the ground do anything get it forward motlop dispossessed now which way is he going to pay this I reckon he took them on Steven mlop he did take them on and a good free kick trying everything motlop don’t blame him for that

Kick off the side of the boot the warar skills are just a little bit better pushed in the side well played halt Fitz can’t get it he was tackled without the footy halt Fitz runs around kicks on goal distance an issue no Mark paid around the body it’s a goal And that is the exact goal that P were looking for in it was a great goal as well around the body 18 minutes into Q3 first goal yeah and 18 points the difference how about that Ian you love that sort of symmetrical stuff so that’s for you Ian thank you mathematically

Point well in this game and I think that we we did read that 28 points warar sitting on top of the table to get with three other teams and the pointers in fifth position with snapping at their heels to D and buffalo buffalo have got the buy this weekend ran 12 Buffalo’s

Back and and of course warai will have a um sorry point will have another buy before the season ends yeah massive finals implications at the moment SMI the chop out Ruckman pulling they’ll be smart smarting at this warar over the back Steven mlop being instrumental in the fight

Back Harrison Mah Mah on the left foot goes across the face of goal in defense back to motlop mlop calls the ball demands the football magro got him but uh not not to any any great effect this time it’s Brad Ryan Brad Ryan Center half back I know

That because he’s the right footer his brother the skipper is the left footer similar in size and shape running hard after the football was Lewis Campbell KAC but the ball is out of bands but from the pointers perspective even though we’re closing in on three4 time it’s at the right end of

The ground for them at right half for yeah can’t be too much time left but just the goal kicked in this turn perhaps 21 22 minutes in this term the boundary umpire will call that one back the field yeah just just didn’t go in Far Enough when when um when Kirby

And McDonald are in Ruck they recognize this bandry umpire doesn’t throw it in long and they get short but SME and Hut don’t spend too much time on the football running in onto the left foot kick forward and a mark taken in the forward pocket oh this a huge goal Matt Ryan our

Man he’s missed a few shots tonight already if he gets this 12 points here in 12 points will be the difference he’s just got to trust his routine now Ryan but he’s right of Center so at least it’s okay for the left footer it opens it up for the left

Footer the skipper is it a captain’s goal is it a captain’s goal he’s missed three Ryan runs in very deliber in distance and I reckon the field umpire goes back it is absolutely massive goal for pun huge that is the captain’s goal we been looking for all game and it’s here and

It’s right in the nick of time we can only imagine there’s probably about a minute minute and a half maybe tops in this term but it sets up point for a great and that’ll boy them the rain has stopped it is it has you’re absolutely

Right in I know these things I look at and there’s nothing falling from the sky yeah we’ve already discussed it but could be round three on repeat that was a point to point it was at Gardens oval enemy territory for point of course and this is enemy territory for warar too so

Maybe maybe but nonetheless Kirby gets the ball over the back but only as farest Point who get the the all important clearance forward they go kick off the ground that time by halt Fitz running around hard working well is Lan Cassidy who’s been a good player pretty hard to see in here isn’t

It it’s a bit dark Cassidy goes forward Hut couldn’t take the mark hard on his hammer with SMI and we’ll have the boundary throw in probably those two will contest Hut and SMI but I think Shannon notop will be very pleased with this ter get a couple of goals back and

There it is it’s three quarter time here at dxc Arena it is shaping up to be another thrilling match up between these two sides it’s currently wara by 12 points 4 630 leads P 2618 shaping to be an absolute classic but we’ll be right back after the short break

Of the 2023 24 TI NFL season the clash between first place royar and fifth place pin and in and we are going down to the wire look you’re right it was two goals to one point actually won that third quarter they call that the Premiership quarter not that they’re

Quite at the Premiership level yet but we’ll round 12 and point probably need to win to secure uh a final spot it’s not the end of the world if they don’t win but certainly they won that quarter they Trail by 12 points they Trail by seven points at quarter time 16 at

Halftime and they moved up to only a 12-point deficit a big Arnold Kirby Kirby we see him hands on on hips which is his normal pose and his direct opponent in The Ruck will be of course Conor McDonald and a bit will rest with that pair but certainly Point showed

Something in that third term I don’t know what what the words were that Shannon mlop said to his team but certainly they lifted here we go the final quarter this is the one Kirby got a left hand to the football ball on the ground kick off the ground anything get

The ball forward they do get the ball forward warar in attack pushed off the football hasn’t had much of the ball has he there is our man Anthony monara big kick in that third turn and a nice almost a Specky Mark but almost don’t win the uh don’t

Win the chocolates do they you got to catch it bandry umpire tosses it in it will be short it was short in front McDonald he was a wake up to it round off the left boot was the mark taken no can’t be taken terrific effort there that time by

Joel Hillis once again the pace the foot Pace morar win it they go inside by hand oh Sullivan tries to beat three and doesn’t beat three selfish football point take the advantage away they go halt Fitz hasn’t had a lot of the footy can play

Halt Fitz goes to to penth a goal kicker in the in the third turn Ethan penth oh there a daring in board he wants to give this off left of center he is a right footer Lan Cassidy giving instructions penrith can reduce the margin to six points runs around kicks on

Goal over the back and the mark taken Benjamin Brett might be his first possession might be and it might be the most important one of the game at the moment so I’m not sure whether he’s a left footer or a right footer because he hasn’t had much of it but it looks like

He’s a left footer so he’s right of Center suits him nicely we run around the corner Stevie Johnson Style Benjamin Brett kicks the goal and gets his team within six points well I’m sure you the crowd reactions there up and about and so is the team and it is just going to

Be one of those games of course I think I believe in round three it was Point who retook the lead late in that fourth quarter to take that win so maybe a little bit of history repeating itself at the moment but we did say even at

Halim it was a four goal lead it was a four-goal lead to um to warar at halim but we then did say it’s only four goals which is insurmountable in in this sort of footy yeah thr up four goals in dry conditions is easy peasy but when it’s

Like this things are certainly made much tougher so up we go McDonald McDonald got a fingernail to it the tap but Kirby his effort was good monara hasn’t had much of it tried to Mark one-handed drags his opponent off the football that was Harrison Mah picked up motlop one of the better

Players together with war Williams hand ball inside big Kirby what’s he done usually precise with the ball monara let him down again picked up warar running onto the football kicking at the goal and hits the behind post no Lan Cassidy that was one behind for the tars so Point inside a

Goal no they seven points now that was that was a behind tar that’s right he is the goal kicker Benjamin Brett swings it around now the supporters are starting to get interested both players overran the football that’s clever footy kick the ball off the ground get it outside the defense tough football tough

Defense the hand Ball’s got to be precise mlop mlop good yeah it was wasn’t it cage ly too because the elephants were coming they were will’ll take his big 50 and this this is gamechanging momentum has shifted well he runs to the middle of the grand measures one off great ball

And does it beautifully excellent ball well done from Steven mlop the awareness for the 50 and then just precise on a plate I on aate eight Elliot Charmers usually reliable seen him play better had more of a possession but this is crucial get them within a point 36 plays 47 the

Pointers directly in front certainly distance not an issue accuracy is the main con consideration touched on the line touched inside the line no goal oh everyone was waiting on it the tension was Rising well the goal umpire was in perfect position and the defense of warar they

Touched the football but clearly if they touch it and it’s over the line the ball’s got to be completely over the line obviously it was the goal umpire as I said in perfect position Elliot Charmers got his side within one point wow who would have thought a game with

Finals implications would be this close in but it’s a crack of a game so instead of point being up by a point point a Down by a point well well we’re seeing both sides here may we are to yep cracking game cracking contest Kirby McDonald McDonald pushed off kicked off The Grand

Anchors in the pulling Direction overran the footy monara been ineffective pick D Partington such a reliable player Luke Partington warar go by hand nicely done outside by hand nicely done again and wonderful wonderful courageous SM that time though picked up by Will Collis Collis goes forwards and whoever whoever Steven

Mlop Point further forward they’ll do anything to get the ball forward hard over the football slipped over oh he threw that dead set through that and correct decision by the field umpire oh Sullivan not going to pick it up too far out to score kicking a half out I

Reckon Benjamin SMI chop out Ruckman big left foot goes for the high fly no Mark taken ball on the ground chip out well done CIS swings onto the left boot outside defensive 50 is hard and as long as you like but out of bounds on the full and

Who’s going to take it no another the great Steven mlop Shannon mlop behind him barking instructions kick the goal Steven K the goal sing he’s only four kicks out he had a crack at it high kick couldn’t take the mark ball on the ground in dispute picked up that time

Didn’t take the mark kick on goal and they’re in front they are in front Kyle Kirk what is going on Ian from no goals halfway through the third time and they’re in front here well their first goal was at at the 18 minute Mark of Q3 jeez and subsequently they’ve kicked

Five Panic stations at warar at the moment seeing a few head scratches on their bench at the moment not too sure what’s actually gone on but Pine have done really well to fight the fight their way back into this one I it’s not over because we’re only 8 minutes 8 and

A half minutes into Q4 warar Trail by Five Points 5636 the pointers the home team dxc Arena warar 4731 Kirby Kirby won it ball on the ground hand ball out another hand ball chopped off by Williams kick off the ground which is what the doctor Ordered warar they’ve got to shift a gear now they’ve got to move a gear up and the ball is out of bounds and the ball is at the right end of the ground though TS do have to go up a again now can they match pints energy Kirby in front knocks the ball

Forward looking for the teammate out there in in bti bti has a shot on goal well not on goal but uh got it Forward warar working their way forward they Trail it’s true that’s right they Trail by Five Points tars over the top we got a free kick

Here didn’t quite see that but it goes to tars Kirby Kirby kicks on goal not with much Precision kicked off the ground defensively running hard after the football that time Dwayne kirua out P throws his head back in angst well but the boundary umpire rules doesn’t it if

She says it’s out of bands it’s out of bands bit of an update St Mary’s will be licking their lips with this result St Mary’s currently up 40 to1 against Southern districts so a warar loss and a St Mary’s win put Saints on top exactly right High tackle in there Point get the

Clearance on the air switch looking for Williams wise move b a star Warick Williams going to go further across that helps us po they not making any Groove forward but a 50 m penalty helps oh just a couple of crucial 50 me penalties War are just getting a little bit excited

Here scoreboard pressure just slowly ticking into their minds I reckon and this is the the brother of Brad Ryan nice long kick which is what he should do get the ball forward get the ball forward out of bounds this time point in in in attack right half forward GE you feel like just

A goal here from Pine it’s just going to set this place a light and knowing how low scoring it has been could be a game winner tossed in by the bandry Umpire the Ruckman realized that that’s going to be a long one Kirby in front picked up that

Time warar will get the clearance Will Clark been quiet kicked two goals early High tackle GE they’ve got most of the free kicks the umir they’ been exemplary yeah I think it especially in wet conditions slip UPS do happen it’s been good calling though y done really well har Harrison mAh

Can’t waste time yet only 12 minutes in Mah swings onto the left foot we see Hal no it’s not Hal Fitz it’s scow scow armed scow kicks it forward and does it and does it beautifully hasn’t had much of it but that time he had enough of it

And the man who kicked the goal the goal that put them in front I reckon he’s got another shot on goal they’ll have to move him around a little bit surely Benjamin Benjamin Brett well he’s come from nowhere and he’s suddenly the hero well if he kicks

This he’s a hero Benjamin Brett he’s a left footer he’s right of Center we know he’s a left footer because he kicked with his left the last time we didn’t know before that so right of Center suits him Benjamin Brett within G distance just crossed the cross the paint of 50

Skips runs in kicks and he’s done it again oh he’s a hero and he’s a hero give him give him him the label four goals so far to the to the pointers and that moves them into a handy position incredible incredible massive what do the tars have left in him though Steven

Mop he got about 10 12 minutes left in this one we would say so still plenty of time for warar we said at half time when T’s led by four goals that it’s only four goals and point can get that back precisely right Kirby look at his position there

Hands on hips that’s the pose of Arnold Kirby if you don’t know who it is have a look at the pose waiting for the ball up drops his hands beaten by McDonald that time warar will they get the clearance running hard of the football was Hillis handballing back but they push back

There’s Hillis again kicked it the grubber nothing in it good umpiring play on called the Umpire Nathan noan oh bit big call that one B CIS gets himself extricates Himself tar slightly in attack big Kirby won the tap kicked off the ground and just too much that time for Lan Cassidy who was so good early in the game but warar had a number of players good early Cassidy was one of them pulling was another one Will Clark

Was another one got two early goals one in the first one in the second but haven’t been cited subsequent to that the second half of course has belonged to the pointers particularly this last quarter they’ve kicked four goals to nil they’re confident the supporters willing their team on over the back some

Pressure yeah it just seems like P just so much cleaner at the moment still seems like warar playing like the weather it was in the second ter pouring down rain but so they mudlock warar the mudlock over the back well done fumble onto the left boot kicks It

Forward no play on called the Umpire and rightly so it’ been terrific the Pi no Ticky touchwood hand ball out Kirby the big man kicks forward couldn’t take the mark ball on the ground oh whoever Steven motlop goes to the boundary line it’ll be see interesting

To see how the band The Field umpire plays this wasn’t under too much pressure was he and he did find the boundary line War Williams was there maybe they thought it was close enough good enough obviously they did because there was no free kick paid Kirby in

Front both fresh air shot Point get the ball forward one-on-one point now seemed to have the extra Pace bending over the football lovely hand ball out kick forward they didn’t give in they’re playing the whistle point they’re waiting for the whistle halt Fitz has done nothing kicks the ball forward missed the goal

Ball on the ground in dispute easy as you like should have swung around I’m not sure whether he’s a left footer should have swung around number 17 just goes through for a behind so 67 that’s an easy sum isn’t it two goals 17 minutes in big Kirby waiting wants to bang it

Forward but Point too good on the ground Point get the clearance over the back kicked off the ground that time and another behind so that gives him the advantage doesn’t it two goals one it is runs his full measure Foster Gardner and the ball has gone forward 60

M which is where they need to be who’s going to be the hero who’s going to stand up for tar seeing magro standing in front by himself in the 50 it’s got to get there though it’s got to get someone’s got to do it in a hurry

Don’t they because we’re coming up to 18 minutes Kirby good umpiring in the ru took him on PlayOn called the Umpire he took him on and disposed of it incorrectly the high tackle I think too far out to score where’s it going mop giving his opinion he says

Bang it forward and he does do that a wonderful kick forward a beauty ball on the ground ball in dispute terrific effort there by Gardner Gardner’s second effort very good in defense working hard working out that got rid of the football and the correct decision incorrect disposal Conor McDonald trying to do

Everything will Collis gets it out wide Alex pulling second effort good swings onto the right boot Hut knocks it in to his team’s Advantage anchors don’t kick it forward a you’ve only got two 13 points behind series of hand balls and point have the ball no Mark taken second effort good

They want to win point they want to win working hard I suppose both teams want to win but Point look more likely the desperation is good like that like that Mark will that’s a wonderful Harrison Mah who was so good early in the game when they were struggling Mah goes forward

Hardington running down the clock coming up to time on Partington goes forward not forward enough but the boundary line they found the boundary line which is what they needed to do p will be loving this of course in the ntfl time does not stop the ball’s out of bounds got to get moving

TS little hand ball out kick off the ground clever clever clever nice Mark taken Kyle Kirk Kirk lays it off goes forward and there he is the skipper got the captain’s goal got him going in the third quarter Matt Ryan has a goal I said got him going in the third

Quarter after the opening one by Ethan pen they didn’t kick a goal until the 18-minute mark of the third quarter that’s incredible and here they are six goals later the captain is basically to seal the deal I think you’re right the captain the left footer runs

In crosses the paint of 50 kicks on goal and misses the everything missed everything he’s he’s at a shocker in front but he got a key one in the thir third quarter gee and it’s not gone well there for warar on the exit just came off the side of the boot

And stays inside 50 for point warar it’s 212 minutes into Q4 they are trailing by 13 points you want to get the ball forward as far as you can can’t kick a goal from Center half back Kirby in front push off it by McDonald good contest not trying very

Hard to get that ball out Kirby won the tap anchors trying to beat three can’t even a anchors can’t beat three balls in front Paul’s in the Pint forward line dragged off the footy free kick paid Will Clark well they’ve lost top spot I reckon they will lose top SP so oh

Salivan there it is they have one [Applause] 4731 68 44 point from going to have zero goals 18 minutes into the third time just when we thought you know maybe there was some maybe he was just going to fall War’s way they came back stormed home in stormed home and they claim

Another win against warar in well six goals to one in the second half after the heavens second quarter a credit absolute credit to the coaching and to the Endeavor and then and the the attitude of the pointers well done to them absolutely it’s just seems like points finals position just may have just

Solidified just a little we’re not there yet but they’re just solid well they’re probably well more than likely will lose top an incredible incredible game Saturday night footy here at dxc Arena Ian thank you so much for joining me mate it’s been a pleasure thank you to all the
