08:05
BEHIND BULLDOGS - Honeychurch with a very soft free kick for in the back sprays his kick wide for a behind, the Suns will think that that is a just reward.
09:10
GOAL BULLDOGS - Macrae who has had the ball on a string all nigh is somehow left all alone 45 out and of course the ball finds him, he guides his kick home to put the Dogs' 10 points up.
12:38
The Suns just cannot get out of their defensive half, the Bulldogs are simply too desperate and the Suns' usual pin point disposal has been eluding them all night.
14:32
GOAL BULLDOGS - Dalhaus with quick hands slips the ball out to Macrae who is running away from goal, he turns on a tight arc and from 45 out slots a lovely goal, his second for the term.
15:17
Bulldogs Interchange - Mark Austin off due to the blood rule.
16:48
BEHIND BULLDOGS - The Suns' thump through a long rushed behind to put the lead out to 17 points, it is still under three kicks but only just.
18:42
GOAL BULLDOGS - Bontempelli with a run through 50, he can hear the defence closing and so puts the kick out in front of Stringer who turns his man inside out and kicks the goal over his shoulder.
19:51
GOAL BULLDOGS - Dalhaus with a free for in the back, however Hrovat swoops on the ball and the Umpire blows advantage and Hrovat kicks the goal...the Dogs are home!
21:41
GOAL BULLDOGS - From a stoppage the ball is thrown out to Liberatore who kicks the ball around his body and scores the goal, it is party time for the Doggies in Cairns!
23:10
BEHIND BULLDOGS - Another quick kick into the goal square is thumped through by the Suns who look shattered.
24:35
The Suns are going to have to take a long hard look at this game, without Ablett they have looked a shell of the team that beat the Pies last week.
26:17
The Bulldogs are just biding their time now as they share the ball around, the Suns have just looked a little impotent through the middle of the ground and are well down on their usual stats.
27:31
BEHIND SUNS - Lynch with an attempt from outside the arc, his shot is offline for a behind.
28:20
BEHIND SUNS - Shaw makes an attempted snap, the ball is high and wide for yet another minor score. They look whipped, there is no run left in them.
30:21
GOAL SUNS - Dixon kicked the first goal of the night and he kicks the last of the night as well as he kicks his third of the match after the siren sounds, to see the Dogs' win by 28 points.
30:26
FULL TIME - The Bulldogs come to Cairns and run all over the 'Ablettless' Suns who seemed rudderless despite the importance of this match in the run to the finals, the Doggies were simply too good!
