29:05
BEHIND KANGAROOS - Ziebell marks 40m from goal, he takes the set shot on goal and is offline.
31:00
We still have about a minute left in the term, so this bad term for Melbourne can still get worse.
31:45
GOAL KANGAROOS - Howe makes a mess of his spoil and it goes behind him as Mullett gathers, runs towards goal and nails it.

Quarter 4

00:00
Q4 is now underway.
00:01
We are back for the final term, as Pedersen puts in a big tackle, to earn himself a free kick.
01:30
The Dees have looked so promising at times, but in the end, it is another disappointing performance from them.
03:10
BEHIND KANGAROOS - McDonald comes out and takes the mark 25m from goal, he takes the set shot on goal and he peppers it away to the right.
03:11
SCORE BEHIND - Kangaroos (Luke McDonald)
04:15
BEHIND KANGAROOS - Ziebell marks the ball 47m from goal on a 32 degree angle. He sends it goal-ward and there is a score review, to see if it was touched. It is a point, it hit the post.
05:44
SCORE BEHIND - Kangaroos (Jack Ziebell)
06:00
The score review took a while as the fans started growing restless at the amount of time it took.
06:45
SCORE GOAL - Demons (Cameron Pedersen)
06:50
GOAL DEMONS - The Dees go from coast to coast, as Pedersen takes the mark 30m from goal. He slots it through for a goal.
07:59
SCORE GOAL - Demons (Aidan Riley)
08:00
GOAL DEMONS - A terrible over the top handball from McKenzie, as it is taken by Riley in the goal square and he kicks an easy goal.
08:57
SCORE BEHIND - Kangaroos (Levi Greenwood)
09:00
BEHIND KANGAROOS - Greenwood in full flight, has a shot on goal and it is offline, which then gives the Dees possession of the ball.
10:55
BEHIND KANGAROOS - Petrie marks the ball 51m from goal, he starts the ball left and it stays there.
11:04
SCORE BEHIND - Kangaroos (Drew Petrie)
12:00
Dawes and Thompson wrestle for the ball, but Dawes' best acting performance in the course of a football match award is noticed and Thompson ends up with the free kick.
13:45
The Roos lead by 36 points with over 10 minutes left on the clock, they are about home here, unless the Dees can pull out something special.
15:30
Should the game finish at a margin similar to 36 points, the Roos will go up to seventh on the ladder.
17:15
The Roos look to be slowing the pace of the game down, making sure that they don't receive any unnecessary injuries at this late stage of the game.
17:45
Kangaroos Interchange - Andrew Swallow off due to an injury.
19:00
Big news on the Kangaroos bench as Swallow is being treated for a left knee injury. He is one player that the Roos would not want to lose.
20:30
Swallow is spotted walking along the boundary, it would be safe to say that he won't be taking any further part in the game, as more of a precaution.
22:10
The sting has well and truly gone out of this contest, with a lot of tired bodies out there in the middle of the MCG.
23:43
SCORE BEHIND - Demons (Lynden Dunn)
23:45
BEHIND DEMONS - Dunn takes a shot at goal, to an open goal square and it bounces away to the left for a point.
25:30
The Dees have been brave today, but they came up against the good Kangaroos this week, rather than the bad outfit of last week.
27:10
SCORE GOAL - Kangaroos (Aaron Mullett)
27:20
GOAL KANGAROOS - Mullett streaks through the middle, he unloads from the 50 and it bounces through for a goal.

BEHIND DEMONS - Jones gathers the loose ball, has a stab at goal and slams it into the woodwork.
29:23
SCORE BEHIND - Kangaroos (Drew Petrie)
