Quarter 4

00:00
FINAL TERM - Can the Blues hold on...if they can't it is a zip five start to the season. The ball is bounced and the Blues win a free kick for a Block.
01:19
Giansiracusa is awarded a free kick after he wraps up Tuohy, however his kick is shocking going right back to Tuohy. That's a comedy of errors, unless you're a Bulldog fan.
03:30
The Dogs have the ball penned up in their forward fifty they need to convert some of this possession into score board pressure.

09:18
Curnow is slammed into the goal post...he gets up but is in a world of pain as he limps off straight to the bench.
09:30
SCORE BEHIND - Bulldogs (Rushed)
10:07
Blues Interchange - Ed Curnow off due to an injury.
10:41
Kobe Stevens looks to have gone into the book.

19:18
SCORE BEHIND - Bulldogs (Stewart Crameri)
19:31
BEHIND BULLDOGS - Crameri has a set shot 25 out right in front and misses...he'd kick that 99 times out of a hundred. Misses like that really hurt.

The Dogs have had plenty of the ball but they are not getting any reward for their possession and it is going to cost them.
22:12

28:08
The Blues are going to record a gutsy win, while the Dogs will be wondering how they let this one get away, especially as they have had a two man advantage for most of the last term.
29:14
FINAL SIREN - The siren sounds...the crowd roars and as they explode into the theme song...they drown out the music. Finally the Blues have a win and they have done it in trying circumstances.
