Ellis scrubby kick in defence. Lambert gets the free though. To the wing but Balta pinged for a push. Ump closest didn't pay it but the ump 60m away did.

Set shot for the Giants. Touched called by the goal umpire but the field ump wants a review when it was his job to call the touched ball  .

We had a good patch in the middle of the quarter when we're keeping the ball in our forward half.However, when we cough it up they are easily getting it inside their F50. Thankfully they haven't made us pay.
