Ross to George who has lifted this qtr. Finds Balta on the boundary 35 out. WOW! GOAL! 

Rich  8.9-57
Carl  6.10-46

[Simonator]

Balta moved forward.

Dumb trying a low % shot from there btw.

Easy to say that but he is the kind of player to pull it off.

[mightytiges]

Ross doing well this qtr. Off to the Graham. Goes long towards Lynch. Hits the turf and Jack is held 30m out. Goal! 

Rich  9.9-63
Carl  6.10-46

[mightytiges]

Brainfades keeping them it. We were out there before Balta and Aarts stuffed it and then gave away 50 .

Commentators are loving the Blues

[Knighter]

How many soft 50s do they want to give them?

[Andyy]

Aarts out for good
Prestia out
Ralph I think has been poor

[mightytiges]

Why didn't Hugo take a bounce? 

Baker free. Goes long and Dusty is held in the contest 30 out. Goal! 

Important goal before 3/4 time.

Rich  10.9-69
Carl   7.12-54

[Andyy]

I actually think we've had a handful of soft free tonight. Some of them in F50. Umpiring poor both ways.

Holding seems to be the rule of the week

[The Machine]

Aarts out for good
Prestia out
Ralph I think has been poor

Aarts? been one of the best I reckon.

[Rampsation]

How many 50s have they got so far

[mightytiges]

Frustrating game. A mix of the very good and the mindboggling stupid.

Balta being moved forward made a massive difference. Credit to Dimma.

Some credit goes to Gibcus for the last goal to Dusty. That 30m spoil on the wing turned defence into attack.

Ross and George much better that quarter. Working harder.

Hugo needs to back himself and his pace when he is out in space. Been too indecisive.

[mightytiges]

Dusty to Ross on the wing to HF. Sheds taps it out to Bolts who gathers and runs in and kicks the goal 

Rich   11.9-75
Carl     7.13-55
