What key match highlights open the show and who stood out early?
The award-winning Crunch Time. Great hand pass to Kip. Surely now he kicks across the face quite deliberately. And McGovern unmarked in the left forward pocket. He'll come around and snap on the right. McGovern goes... Truly, Kemp lends a hand, put a step on to open things up, centering ball, finds Evans. Best thing Kemp's done all day. Mackay. He's done a reasonable job. Frankie Evans to shut the gate on a rollicking afternoon.
He did shut the gate. The Suns had a little crack. Not Marvel Stadium is where they like to go. Noah Anderson might have kicked goal of the year. But in the end, their year is almost officially done. But for the Blues, they just had to win and find a way. And Frankie Evans might have shut the gate, but Patrick Cripps most certainly was the reason it was only slightly ajar.
Inside 50 to Curnow in the right forward pocket. He takes the mark. 15 out from home. Yeah, good kick. As Curnow comes in looking for his second. Curls it off the left superbly. Robot of inside 50 for the Swans. Just to kill off any appetite for the Giants. Papley making space and curls it through. Any belief the Giants just had is now evaporated from Tommy Papley, who's kicked two. Bashes it forward, he'll bash it out of bounds. Or will it be kept in? Oh, Day's kept it in! Left foot kick! Unbelievable! Paddy doing something special at one end, and Will Day doing it even better at the other. Oh, now Greaves isn't alone here. Nearly at half forward. He'll mark. He'll play on. Gunston into the pocket. Gunston! Look at Greaves.
The kick. The celebration. 600 goals to Jack Gunston, three-time Premiership player, 600 goals, an absolute star of this Hawthorne Golden Generation.
Hard to argue, Whitey, and that's where we'll start. Jack Gunston, a huge milestone yesterday, seven on the day, a huge win for the Hawks, not overly unexpected. Neither was the Swans, but they had to get going and get going they did. Errol Goulden was great. The Giants, the wheels are off. But two teams spent their Saturday afternoon, early evening, shoring up their top four spot and a chase for that very, very important first home final.
Goes to Caulfield who's slung as he kicks it inside, 50. Bontempele didn't take the mark, wanted the free kick. West gets a hand pass away to Hines, he goes bang! Lovely finish from Cooper Hines. A booming kick from outside 50, just sets it up to the top of the goal square. There he is, Bont. Easy as you like. Put it into his space and the Bont will do the rest. Top of the goal square. He'll go back and most likely pop through his second as English and a couple of the Tigers lost and involved wrestling behind play.
I wish I had a couple of games where I'd been below my best 29 in two goals.
Here's Bond for his second of the night. Never a doubt.
100 comes up for the Doggies. Look, it's hard to argue with John Donahue's excitement there as the Dogs belted the Tigers. They did what they had to do on a Saturday night. And really, when it's all said and done, it's the same old story. The best player on the ground, again, was Marcus Bonson-Palley. Wherever you might be right around Australia, this is Sunday crunch time for the Ford Ranger triple stack deal and Ozito Brussels power tools built to work. Ozito, do you. Let's go.
And wherever you might be right around Australia, Sunday morning, SEN Radio Network. Maybe it's via the SEN app. Hello to you as we work our way through a big Sunday. A couple of interesting games. The Port Adelaide Power, who just keep having a crack. But today they take on the Brisbane Lions, the two-time reigning premiers who are in season best form. And then a mini elimination final, a mini wildcard game. A little early, but under the lid of Marvel, the Saints and the Roos are going to go at it. And the winner will either stay in the eight or find themselves in the ten. I made a mistake early. There you go. 8-10. It's going to happen a fair bit, though, as we work our way through the top 10 teams.
Either way, big game this afternoon. And as always, our two main men, the experts, all thanks to Sig Energy, Australia's number one residential battery storage company.
