Geelong leading Sandy 20 - 15 at QT.

McAuliffe hasn't come back out after HT. So he must be injured.

Guiney also out for the rest of the match.

May from 60 goes to the top of the square. Comes off hands but Langford can't get it and it's rushed.

We get back from the kick-in but Cumberland gets caught HTB.

We get it back again and Davidson finds Wilson 45 out. Hooks it going for distance.

59 - 41

Good pressure at HF causes the turnover. Johnson finds May in the pocket. Misses as well.

60 - 41

Golden rule: Don't handball to the feet of a stationary ruckman (OHB) .

We feed off a Blues error defensive side of the wing. Almost stuffed it up but Cumberland to May who eventually runs into an open goal

2 vs 1 but Samson stupidly gives away a free for a hold  . Another chance goes begging as May had an open goal to run into.

First option Tiges 

May caught HTB trying to beat a second Carlton defender after getting around the first. Had Davidson as support to give to.

Fawcett marks 60 out and with his dacks down goes long but the kick is sprayed and it goes OOTF.

[one-eyed]

Dow out the middle and OHB marks on the lead 30 out  . A floater but it goes through. Goal! 

OHB's first goal for the Tiges  .
