Puopolo kicks to the mismatch of Roughead and Caleb Daniel at the top of the square. Roughead marks with ease and kicks the simple goal. (Q2 8:53)
English clumsily falls into the back of Breust in the pocket. His left foot snap looks like a goal, however, upon review, it was touched by the man on the mark. Behind only. (Q2 8:53)
Roughead kicks to Gunston. He spots Cousins who marks at 45m on a slight angle. James’ set shot is flawless. (Q2 8:53)

McEvoy offers a good block to allow Henderson to run to 45. His shot is through for a goal as the Hawks extend their lead. (Q2 8:53)

Schache will kick from just inside the 50 on a tight angle. Despite being on the good side for a left-footer, his shot is through for a behind. (Q2 8:53)

Macrae hands to McLean who kicks inside 50 to the advantaged side of Dickson. He marks over Stratton, goes back, and slots the goal from the pocket. (Q4 15:33)
English lines up from about 54. He gives it a massive roost but sacrifices accuracy for distance. Minor score only. (Q4 19:16)
Bontempelli does exceptionally well to crash the pack and then distribute the footy. McLean picks up the loose ball, spins onto his right and snaps the goal from 25. (Q4 21:51)
Worpel gives away a strange free kick in the centre circle for not vacating the space. The dogs work it forward, Macrae picks up the crumbs and goals from 40. Scores are level! (Q4 23:03)
Sicily is penalised for very soft off-the-ball aggression. It takes the footy from the centre circle all the way to the Dogs’ hot spot. Schache goals from directly in front. (Q4 25:03)
Following a stoppage in the forward pocket, Libba puts the Dogs two goals up! It was an unconventional yet effective left-foot snap. (Q4 26:37)

Bontempelli almost puts the icing on the cake with a long bomb to a vacant square. But Isaac Smith touches it on the line just in time. Game over. Dogs win. (Q4 32:03)
