SCORE GOAL - Suns (Tom J. Lynch)
07:21
GOAL SUNS - From defence Swallow grabs the ball twists out of a tackle and hits the jets, he charges through the centre of the ground before sending a long ball to Lynch who marks and goals.
08:44
Prestia grabs the ball just outside the defensive 50 and goes on a tear, he takes one, two, three bounces and then 30 out from goal right on the boundary line centres the ball...
09:35
SCORE GOAL - Suns (Sam Day)
10:25
GOAL SUNS - Prestia's kick finds Day who leaps over his man and takes a tumbling mark, he holds will line up 20 right in front. Day kicks the goal and the Suns' lead is out to 11 points.
11:53
Matera goes long to Lynch who marks on the boundary line in the deepest pocket, Lynch sees Shaw alone in the square and centres the ball, it is rushed through as Astbury flies in to make the save.
12:53
SCORE BEHIND - Suns (Rushed)
13:49
SCORE GOAL - Suns (David Swallow)
15:02
GOAL SUNS - A poor kick out of defence results in a turn over as Swallow chimes in and takes the mark. He is goalless tonight but will go back and take the set shot. Swallow kicks the goal.
16:18
SCORE BEHIND - Suns (Timmy Sumner)
17:03
BEHIND SUNS - Sumner streaks in from 40 out and kicks...a behind, that makes it a three goal one lead, Richmond will need four scores to win this one.
18:13
GOAL SUNS - Lynch is loitering in the goal square when a long pass finds him all alone...he kicks the Suns' fourth goal in a row and right now you can hear the 'big lady' warming up!
19:23
Martin grabs the ball inside the arc and is pounced on by three Suns' players...the Gold Coast are hunting in packs right now.
21:09
A frustrated Deledio kicks a ball that has already gone out away from the Boundary Umpire and gives away the free kick...poor football from the Tigers' star.
21:58
SCORE GOAL - Tigers (Ty Vickery)
22:22
GOAL TIGERS - Vickery kicks his second from 15 out on a tight angle...the Tigers cut the lead to 19 points but they need to get a wriggle on, with time running out.
24:15
The Suns force the ball out on the wing, you would think that from here they can probably hold on.
25:22
BEHIND TIGERS - Deledio leads into a paddock as everyone else has been sucked up-field, he marks 35 out and misses from the set shot...they needed that one.
25:40
SCORE BEHIND - Tigers (Brett Deledio)

SCORE GOAL - Tigers (Brett Deledio)
26:52
GOAL TIGERS - Deledio makes amends as he kicks a lovely goal on his left foot from deep in the pocket, it cuts it to a two goal margin.
29:14
Prestia runs down Thomas, who was off to the races on the wing, he didn't have a clue he was about to be caught...talk about a game saving tackle.
30:42
GOAL SUNS - Ablett wins a free and will shoot for goal from about 35 out, he was caught high...of course the Tigers' fans said 'he dropped his head'...it doesn't matter though he kicked the goal.
32:17
FINAL SIREN - The siren sounds and we have a moment of history as for the first time in AFL history both the Suns and the Giants are victorious in the same round.
32:18
FINAL SIREN - The Suns' win by three goals and do that despite being two men down in their rotation for most of the second half, with great games from Prestia, Swallow and Ablett.
32:19
FINAL SIREN - Richmond found it hard to cope with the tempo the Suns adopted, they looked at their best when they slowed the game and were allowed to control the ball.
