Andrew Embley

His long penetrating kick, again, no pressure on him.

He's going to find a target.

And it had to be their star kid, Murphy Reid, in his second year.

Geez, he's taken this competition by a storm at the moment.

He's just got so much polish, the boy.

In big moments, you need your big players to stand up.

And whilst he's still less than, what, 25 games, he is an absolute star and a really important goal because Auckland have had all the momentum.

Good composure to finish off there from 50.

Well, the difference in the game is that Hawthorne have been able to connect going inside 450, and Fremantle, who have had their opportunities, have had their entries, just haven't been able to find targets, so...

With Jackson pushing forward, it's obviously really important to be able to convert and make the most of these limited chances that they've been getting.

Again, they were a little bit lucky there.

I think it was, as you mentioned, Ryan just came onto the ground when the ball looked like it was going to go out of bounds.

But again, Fremantle defenders dropping off.

It's almost like they haven't been aware that Hawthorne are going to lower the odds and they're going to honour that lead.

And it was Pearce that particular time.

He decided to just let Lewis go.

And if you do that, you're going to get hurt.

And Lewis has made Fremantle pay.

Three points.

I really might just be a little bit too far here, Jack.
