Chol had Ryan all alone inside 50 but didn't go behind the man on the mark and stuffs it up.

We get it back. Stack kicks inside 50. Contest at ground level and CCJ kicks it off the ground for a goal! 

Rich  2.0-12
GWS 0.0-0

[mightytiges]

Biggie intercepts on the wing. Goes short to Caddy who goes long. Ryan held too long in the tackle and gets the free 20m out. Goal! 

Rich   3.0-18
GWS  0.0-0

[mightytiges]

We have the breeze according to the commentators.

Eggy intercept on the wing. Nice kick to CHF to Olden. McDonagh goes the long bomb on the run but misses.

Ryan intercepts and it's a repeat bomb by McDonagh but a better result. Goal from 55 out  .

Rich  4.1-25
GWS 0.0-0

Good slick work under pressure. Ends up with newbie Bartlett who goals  .

QTR time

Rich: 5.2.32

GWS: 0.0.00

[mightytiges]

Goals: Coleman-Jones 2, Ryan, McDonagh, Bartlett.


Good pressure and defensive set up behind the ball. GWS hardly got past our CHB line.

Eggy has had 11 possies as the main interceptor and rebounder.
We're taller today than the Giants VFL side. Biggie (in defence), Chol (ruck), CCJ & Ryan winning it in the air.
Dow & Martyn prominent as the quarter went along.

We had the breeze to the northern end of Punt Rd that first quarter. So we'll now see how we go playing into it.

[mightytiges]

Ballwatching in defence allows their first goal .

32 - 7

Brainfades galore this qtr  .
