Sidebottom gets the one-two with Cox before sending it inside 50 where De Goey soccers out of mid-air from the pocket but misses. (Q1 4:34)
Mayne runs onto the loose ball in the pocket and soccers it to his own advantage before linking by hand with Brown who snaps the Pies’ first of the day! (Q1 9:13)

Cameron marks on the paint and despite teammates forward, Jeremy composes himself and goes back, nailing the set shot. (Q1 14:14)

The Giants speed and run are dominant early, resulting in another shot on goal. From 40m, Jeremy Cameron sneaks it home. (Q1 17:59)

The Pies’ defence is under siege. Hill pounces and releases outside to Lloyd whose curling snap just misses. (Q1 24:16)
The case here is an undersized Pies defence being exploited. Finlayson marks the Deledio kick over the top of Quaynor and kicks his third for the quarter. (Q1 24:29)

Taranto gets it out of the middle, little Bobby Hill flies at half forward, and then Daniels roves and snaps with class and accuracy from 45. (Q3 17:42)
Varcoe lines up with the set shot from just inside 50, but tugs it to the near side. (Q3 18:44)
A poorly-timed Pies interchange allows Whitfield space to work the footy forward, before Daniels finds Tomlinson at 40 who misses. (Q3 19:30)
A quick, curling shot out of congestion from Crisp in punched over by Haynes, smack bang on the goal line. (Q3 23:42)
With a touch of individual brilliance, Sier receives the Crisp handball, runs to 50 and drills it home. (Q3 26:26)
Last-second pressure for Maynard forces Finlayson’s hasty 30m shot wide. (Q3 30:15)
Jeremy Howe takes a comically impressive speckie, piggy-back style, over the top of Cameron! (Q3 32:01)
The work rate of Crisp can be thanked for Mihocek’s handball to Brown, who goals with the outside of his boot, on the run. (Q3 33:13)

Greene impressively nails a quick snap from the boundary line, steadying the tide. (Q4 4:07)
Cameron gets away with a tunnelball throw into the path of Himmelberg, who pops it over the top unselfishly to Simpson… and the big ruckman absolutely loves it! (Q4 7:20)
Pendlebury gets the one-two with Roughead at true CHF before bulleting a pass to De Goey, who hits the post from 40m. (Q4 9:20)

Williams charges through the centre of the field, launching a kick over the back to Hill in the goalsquare who kicks the easy goal makes the crowd know about it. (Q4 17:36)

With two minutes on the clock, De Goey slides a kick through the big sticks from 45, but it’s far too little, far too late. (Q4 30:06)
