Johnson to the hot spot. Loose ball and a Sandy defender just punches it over the boundary which is paid deliberate.

Raso hits the post.

Sims has hurt his arm/wrist after taking a high mark. Braced his fall with his right hand/arm.

So that's another injury

Kosi inside 50 and Pollocks pushed in the back by the boundary 40m out. Misses left.

103 - 59

[one-eyed]

We've come out since 3/4 without our brains. Just lackadaisical. Fumbling all the time. Nothing to do with the breeze. We need to win by 8 goals or more to jump ahead of Collingwood in the top 6.

103 - 66
