numbers to be able to support in that facet of the ground. They have to work on their clearance back that they might play Jeremy Cameron in finals in the center mount. So I wouldn’t be surprised to the middle. That man Riley West. We’ll get your thoughts on him shortly. [Music] Riley, but we’re seeing the the full the full thrust of what he can do as a as a chatting to Tom next to Tom Atkins. I reckon Tommy Atkins has said Jalong hosting the dogs seventh v Stanley with two on two Norton at the front doning with the fist at the back that took Bailey at the open bounce. Yeah, good decision. I don’t mind that actually. Let’s take swings it around his body. Cameron with the open on a Thursday night. Hasn’t got help from his fellow defenders. He is exposed and an excellent kick inside underground. Umpire wants it. There’s a little bit of spice in there. No one really winning that one. Another stoppage throw in. Stanley at the back. Actively involved. Rory Lob’s been moved on to Jeremy Cameron. So Rory in front of contest Jack. That’s that’s the the critical part of what we see here in this 479 me gained last week and two goals. Thon gets it cleanly out to Frasier on a dime. Goes back McNick. A really smart calculated decision. Humphrey so good on either foot. Big crowd in at GMHBA. Manners inside 50. Neil’s deep as is Henry. Bubbles around Dempsey. Quick flick out. For defense, but you’re there for an offensive opportunity too. Protection so that the Bulldogs can’t switch it. But do Dempsey, sorry, just get matches his team has been in the top eight. So great of himself clear he’ll be under pressure. Shrugs one tackle thinks his way and has he scored? He’s just scored a behind. Yeah, great pressure well as the number 33 Davidson up and under down the line. Watching Boselli on the wing John as the boys were saying make sure that Ed Richards can’t get ahead of the ball. We’ve already seen it once a decent tackle there from from while Shannon’s there to catch the ball. You got to make sure you get in contest as many times as you can. And as we so often see here, Jonno, the ball goes out of bounds on the out 50. His kick was a wobbly one. Makes Henry work for two. They’ve wrapped him up and the umpire said, “You’re holding it to speak of anything as if a brief clean below their knees in the early part of this game. The Bulls have the pressure that’s being bought already at 1.8 early days. But more goes to Buku Kas in the ruck at the moment. Buku one that provided the opportunity here. You mentioned Jonno that the one before that was early. It’s what we hope for tonight. And then that’s entry through the pack was too crule this time. Headband or no headband moves superpower. You’re on slightly less intentional that one I think. Thought he did enough to back back and be paid that mark inside forward 50. And the catch repel back to the middle only as far as Kas. Oh, he’s in two minds then Cameron end up just just mixing his lines up in the end, isn’t he? Half back pressure and their pressure has been sensational in the early part of this game. You’re talking about halfbacks. They are Bulldogs. It’s going to be a free kick to English in the middle. number one team for points scored. Bonum Pelly’s up to seven just that massive game last week. Baker back into the side. We’ll pick up directly in front. Keeps the deeper inside 50. Was off the instep but we’ll give it to it to Holmes and then it was Smith receiving it by hand again with nine disposals early on. a number of clearances and goal scoring opportunity and a goal for Shannon Neil as well and it creates a bulldog player to be able to get free from that. Ed Rich has made the sacrifice. Norton roves it in front and square beautifully. Slides it inside towards K. But Ba Kas was the first hand ball. Just waited there. Opened that little patch up. Then another then he did and was grabbed by Sam. Yeah, that’s excellent by Holmes if he has it been marked. Jack Henry certainly claiming it but the umpire doesn’t want to. That is very smart. He knew exactly wanted to do what he wanted to do. Playing it up to the crowd there. Might help him in the end. For first he was on his knees. This the Bulldogs Jonno have been able to secure early stages but we’re in for a night. Frasier Rick. So it’s the dogs leading by three. And it looks like he’s not going with him to start off this quarter. Hurried kick inside 50. Almost taken by Henry who it was picked up by Stanley. Look at this. Stingle has a panic around Cameron one already tonight after a bag of them. Jalong having the majority of players there and Tyson Stingle held his width and really good by re this game of footy. Cameron off seven last week the opener of the match now the opener of the second of the goal line. The kick just needed to be a little bit higher and a little bit straighter and he 49 touches last week and then tried to dance away from Humphre and left. It might be an elite goal and the celebration’s worth it as well. And exactly the same as last J. Last one went out to Tyson Stickle. This one went out the fat. He got three tonight as Jeremy Cameron. His rebuttal would be he’s kick six twice. I think should have a bit of a look. So we saw Tom Stewart start to give up ground. Humphre Cameron was a couple of steps behind him. That was nearly the perfect play for Jalong. You could see them just know what the stat of how many times Marcus Bond has given a 50 away. John that’s 50. I think the damning stack for the Bulldogs is that wasn’t enough in it for a free kick to be paid. picked up back in 2021. A Meers, Mana, little dance around and then kick inside. Maddie Meyers and Mana, you’re going to say their names a lot throughout this. [Applause] That’s through this court. Nearly undefendable that kick this way. On a long lead onto Baker goes over the top of car. A little bit of space, not enough. It is a legal tackle. to coning. Now this kick is a dodgy one. Davidson runs onto it. Nearly have to give up the lead and actually that not being a leading player. So the boys having a laugh there. The hard running from Mullen. This is why they love playing him on Davidson. Kas doing some rack work there for the dogs. Holmes wrapped up of ground to Stewart and then that kick to be there’s some reasonably passionate fans. Middle’s jammed up. Opportunity to get out. Jeez, Jez has just snuck onto the ground here. All on his own the wing. He’s got it. He’s kicked for goal. With one-on-one’s ball to the ball, so it’s working perfectly for for Jalong. But done it six matches in a row. But hang on, he might be back on. Got the nice run off. John Owen got the cheer. Can’t take that off him. [Applause] 12 to six tackles. Cat’s way. Davidson fumbled. Close went without it. And as Stanley’s kick off to Meers, there’s a traceable of that one there. He’s looked out of range. He does not have 50 m in him. Chip that and get it exactly right. It’s like trying to hit a driverction comes out to West out to Bonum P. Bon Pong kick to a vacant forward 50. Blitz running back at the without stretched arms. So Blitz do a one-on-one Davidson again. This time he does better against Blitz. 27 point margin. fans of Bailey Richards Kennedy just completely lost their structure for the ball and this what happens when you get starved of inside pitch doesn’t cough it up inside defensive 50 12 to spot Neil comes through again Baker and got a hurried little dinky kick away Meyers to Neil so far and it’s all based off turnover Jack yeah 51 to zero for the turn approaching Halime the cats already rxing through the midfield and a sensational desperate spoil there. Gthrey provides a bit of pressure. Doning brilliant at ground that shot. This is starting to creep in. Even the good players doesn’t need much space misses. So the big two goals in eight games in a row. In a row. Jose, come on. Back kick forward and it was Aaron Norton. One v2 and you’ve got him. Jeremy Cameron’s got four. Bailey Smith’s had 15. The catch at Halime. They lead it 11. Coming out of the break. Not giving the dogs an opportunity to be clean with with their disposal. Yeah, two straight from mine. I think Luke rolling ball overrun by Meyers. One by Johannes given to Bontum. Already see here angled hand balls get the rece receiver out and a very good kick from who stood up and he’s actually celebrated that kick to Buku Kas to try and motiv you. You come out 50 seconds in clear. He stands and does well. He didn’t know what was coming. Got the headband again as well. Look it out the back. Liberator fighting hard as always. It could be just a massive momentum killer for him. Jack had all the moment fists it down. Mana grabbed by Kennedy but he was held looking for his second check side and does as well close. The three of them play an excellent role for the big clearance to be won. Smith Kennedy kept it relatively low. English got one in 2023. He’s a lock for another 5 years as a bulldog in that first half. Been able to just settle things down early. Out wide. McNeel Humphre with the fist. Frasier three goal margin leading the Coleman and leading his side. This is so crafty. He knows he can’t mark it. So he just put ball but progressed it a few meters. Neil takes it to ground. He spots a man and harms up against the boundary. Jack Henry English is f captain smother just put his body on the line then followed it up ferociously right then but it’s off the back of the skipper who once again the thing with Bont is that once he gets going he’s like a steam train you can’t stop him the palms direction points dumping see what he was trying to do there just nudge jet Bu with his body under the ball set a couple of players for certainly a player that Chris Scott thinks is an important he’s getting more and more confident isn’t he Neil every time now that he gets the answer from the cats he’s got three anticipating that the ball is going to be turned over they are out the back and he has a few cats to beat Caras Dale’s there but to Mullen here they go against the cats look at Holmes go he’s in a handle over his head and this is the risky run Jonno if you want to go for the Reminded me of a young Brad Johnson. West is given the free kick up to O’ Connor. Probably had a couple of easier options going inside 50 there. Tyson Stangle. So as the umpire sorts them out. Neil Jere combined. Jer’s wide kick towards the pocket. [Music] Holmes, Smith, English down to Sanders in midair. Got it down to Richards. I thought we’re going to line up. He was going going to launch to a goal square where Norton was running to Jalong, but the margin gets back to 24 points. Back to a couple of goals in these last six minutes of the third. Just Sanders po to Williams. Hand pass. Hand pass. Liberator jammed into the pocket. They come at him now. What have you seen Brad in in the uh the 50 game feedback for for Smith? Good footy. Gone over the bot. It was unbelievable. It was how high he was. That was with that bounce there cuz Jeremy Cameron did exactly the same thing to him. Beat him out the back. He’s got a couple and the dogs come again. I think Riley West actually dropped his head because he got missed by the kick. Went up trying to push it forward. McNeel going without it. Frasier then he hits me gave away a free from a smother again. Aaron Nort hasn’t had a great liver sends it forward. Cats had the numbers through the fingertips of Stanley. Neil and Jere are forward. Neil or could be a crucial drop. Jere then Stanley ripped off it. The body on Stewart late hit. [Applause] That’s what they’ve been able to do. Sits at a couple of goals and then all of a sudden well number one rated player on the ground in this tour. Kenned he’s kicked a couple big hands again from the Bulldogs across way a free kick got to work in the middle of the ground that a lot in this third term have been pivotal so it’s back to 16 with one second to go and the siren he’sm there’s been a a sub made arena to enter with the game 10 points down in enemy territory just fall into his lap there opportunity here for the bulldog it was Ed Richards who makes the most of his direct opponent of playing on B. So back to four points the closest since early in the second. Atkins got it in board taken in a tackle with English. Down it goes. There’s Bramble three four-point margin. Everything you wanted on Thursday night. So Zack Guthrie wound it back a touch of the year confidently with something like this. Play the fundamentals. They don’t need to create something now. Two goals in the third term and a miss inside. Can’t quite hit Norton. Had a couple of options. Missed them both. Neil’s kick to Meers and then Mana. Neil English with the big fist to Davidson. Little kick. No mark taken by Lob was able to pick it up though or not cuz the Bulldogs at their worst refer the pressure. So here Neil Mana outside of the boot was the ball but that’s that chaos that it hits the ground for the Bulldogs inside down the corridor looking for Duncan couldn’t quite take the mark Okconor’s got Neil who’s kick three casually bends it right through turns to the perfecting spot sometimes you just take it but amazing atmosphere down here at the moment guys to be honest. Terrific work from Atkins. So to Humphre to equal Sammy’s record of three miss tonight and they miss again the dogs just doesn’t miss grind lines does he to Henry. He’s got a decent leg on him. Jack Henry, this talented young man from the West. He comes across to Duncan. Very patient at the moment. The Cats just trying to pry the Bulldogs. He’s still in the game here. Roy, big roar. He comes out deliver Atkins. There’s the kick inside 50. No, Mark Cameron. Well, take a bow, Rory Lob. That is two huge M. You give up a costly goal like that and we’ve got a one-point game. HS from the pocket. It’s coming back but not enough. Smith’s ball outside defensive 50. Davidson worked his man. Two chances this quarter and then a probing little kick. He was hoping for Buku. Goes a second time pushes aside my Davidson. Shannon Neil winds up the crowd and just got the big drivers going. Just needed it to bounce up. You’re hoping the middle belts it onto the boot to set a half forward close of numbers ahead of him. Just kicked it over the top of Buu Kas and we are going to have a cracking finish here. They have to watch here. Bursts doesn’t get through. Good tackle. Bulldogs have got to be really careful about here as they don’t get too attacking. They’re still an influence. Bailey Smith. It’s been such a a fascinating. So O’Donnell locks up and that’s a free kick. Big. He got his big frame there. O’Donnell couldn’t do anything about it. Just tried to wrestle him. He’s kicked five straight. Career best prior to this in the match was three. He’s got through trying to be the glory hit and then having Liberator following behind. Cher the contest that’s for sure. Out to Richard. All to play for less than three to go. Richards been able to nail them. Brad Close is coming up from half. Makes it a threegoal game though. 13 had a huge win in all this as well against Tim English. Got the ball to ground near side close will hold it up again. Can’t wait to hear from Bailey Smith post game in his big milestone game. It’s been an emotional week for him for his entire family. accuracy 20 goals, seven big he’s kicked HBA and a big win for the cats. Shalom. It was an absolute pleasure to watch these two teams
