Ballard to Townsend who goes towards Soldo but he takes forever to pick it up. Ball-up. Naish inside 50 but it's straight to a Demon.

RCD good tackle. Saves the day and earns the free. To HF but it's cut off.

Garth marks in the back pocket. CCJ paid the free at HB. Advantage Ballard to Naish 55 out and it's another poor kick straight to a Demon defender. Casey clear.

We get it back and inside 50 but Moore can't mark. Casey clear.

Townsend didn't give it off when he should've and he's pinged. Casey set shot after the siren. Goal to them.
