This game has ebbed and flowed with the amount of workrate each side is prepared to put in at the packs. The subbing of Boyd may end up being the difference, as the Dogs lost momentum late that term. (Q3 26:44)

Griffen shows some scintillating speed to run through and past traffic on a wing, and delivers a pass to Hahn at 40m that is a thing of beauty. Hahn's shot doesn't do Griffen's play justice, though. (Q4 14:38)
It's a pretty hot footy in midfield now, big tackles flying on both side.s (Q4 15:33)
