What key moments defined Round 9 in the AFL?
The award-winning Crunch Time. Warner fed it out to Heaney from centre-half forward. What a race! Isaac Heaney on song immediately. O'Sullivan loses his feet in the aerial contest. McDonald had a swing outwards tackle. There's Warner. Intercepts the handball. And just as you say he's quiet, he bobs up with a massive goal. Grundy comes around the front. Patley again. We've seen it once. We've seen it twice. Ruthlessly effective.
How did Isaac Heaney influence the game early on?
One of the best teams in football. And it's a marvel and did what they do. Oozing class, the Swans led by Heaney, Papley and Blakey. They held off again. A spirited Kangaroos under the lid. Where it rained goals early, then it tightened up late. But yet again, North fall a smidge short against a really good team.
Dishes off to Bedford. Runs to the 50. Bedford doesn't shoot for goal. He's gone for Stringer. There's a hole on the jumper. Stringer's got the ball. Stringer snaps!
straight stringer goals trying to push it forward ricochet to matraca eyes light up lombard top of the square some fancy footwork to get around the traffic and put it through uh it was the expansion club winning saturday afternoon the giants took blow after blow from the plucky bombers but the class up forward led by toby green and jake stringer plus the connor iron one percenter sealed the game for GWS. Confusing, big week. And the Suns and Darwin, the perfect pair, as they win their ninth straight in the top end, as the Saints have to yet again count their injury toll.
Took a little run, and then fourth hand ball is good to Bailey, smeared into the path of Dempsey, and Dempsey lights it up from the arc. In a whole lot of space, and he's munged the kick inside, 4.50, and Jeremy Cameron takes it on his chest. 40 metres out to the left and directly in front, Goal umpire starts to work a little way to the right, but not a long way. And he does enough to get his first of the evening. He's hurriedly on the boot forward. Oh, they just split away. And Mano just checks sides and towards goal. Well, they all need the ball except Jack Bowes. And as the sound sounds, he seals the deal in superb fashion.
And an historic night for Pendles. It was the Cats that purred all night. A third quarter onslaught set up in the first 15 seconds set up a huge win. Cameron was brilliant. Holmes and Bailey did their thing. Ollie Henry found form as the Cats start to find their groove in season 2026. That's for Scott Pendlebury. A week off, but the countdown is on for a magical moment for the AFL in two weeks' time.
What challenges did North Melbourne face against Sydney?
Right around Australia from Marvel Stadium on Mother's Day. And a happy day to all the mums out there. This is Sunday Crunch Time.
And this and every Sunday right across the SCN radio network or via the SCN app. We do Sunday crunch time for the all-new Ford Ranger Wolf Track V6. And Osito, the Brussels power tools built to work. Osito, do you. Liam Pickering about an hour away. Jake Melkson will join us in around 90 minutes as well as we build up towards the D's and the Eagles here at Marvel Stadium. And Josh Jenkins, as always, good morning to you.
Good morning, Cam. Good morning. Just catching up on... The GWS Giants who have doubled down on Brad Scott's retaliation to their banner. So some off-field. That was probably the most interesting part of that game, to be honest. I know it was high scoring. I know there was a comeback. But two average teams, if you ask me, on-field. But off-field, it's been nice and interesting just catching up on the Giants. Replay a little bit of Brad Scott's press conference. So off-field, the social teams are sometimes more interesting than the on-field versions.
How did the GWS Giants perform against the Bombers?
You know, the old finals drought and, you know, and Brad Scott, I thought, spoke relatively annoyed as he was, spoke fairly well yesterday. At what point, and I know it's a huge thing because they're a powerhouse club that haven't won a final for two years, but at what point does it stop becoming the butt of jokes of other clubs?
When they win one.
Okay. So you have no drama with yesterday?
No, no. I mean, if you don't like it, it's like, I have the same view about when they score in basketball at the end, when they expect them to run the clock out.
