Brisbane 60 Carlton 6
3:43 left in the first half.
FANTASIA!!!
60-12!!!
Teams have won from 48 points down at three-quarter-time in the past you know. Carlton have over two entire halves to come back.
Jaysus afl is fair shit got
Gap down to 37. Have some of that Brisbane!
Carlton trailed by 46 points at the Gabba in the season opener and won by 1!
Big Harry does it!
31 in it!
Blues Blues Blues!!!
Good fuck. A Brisbane player has just missed the equivalent of a penalty into an open goal.
And now another open goal miss from open play!
Itâs like the time Dessie Farrell and Colin Moran missed two open within a minute against Kerry in Thurles.
And now finally they do nail an open goal from three yards.
Brisbane easing to victory now inside the last 10 minutes. 41 points the gap.
The path to the Grand Final is set.
Quarter-finals:
Port Adelaide v Hawthorn
GWS v Brisbane
Preliminary finals:
Geelong v GWS/Brisbane
Sydney v Port Adelaide/Hawthorn
Just one from Melbourne and two from Victoria in the last 6.
Hopefully it will be a repeat of the 1989 Grand Final.
Could yet be a South Melbourne v Fitzroy Grand Final.
Hawthorn v Geelong would be the most exciting pairing alright. Two clubs whose paths seem eternally destined to cross.
I fancy GWS and Hawthorn to win next week. Surely Port Adelaide will put in a performance against Hawthorn though after flopping the other morning.
This is after turning into an engaging game. Poor enough on quality, but 4 goals in the second term here now for Hawthorn and going into the half now very close. Iâve to head off now so will miss the second half.
Port Adelaide 36 Hawthorn 27 at half time.
Port Adelaide got out to a 24-2 lead but some questionable free kicks helped bring Hawthorn back into it.
Willie Rioli has just volleyed a remarkable goal with one second left to give Port Adelaide a big boost going in at half time. They needed that one big time as Hawthorn were tightening the screw in the second half of that quarter.
Hawthorn started slow last week against the Dogs but ate them after half time. They started slow again this week.
Hawthornâs Jack Ginnivan is tremenjus character. Heâs pretty much a mini-me of Jack Grealish. Craig McRae bombed him out of Collingwood for going to the pub the night before the Grand Final last year.
He went to the pub again before last weekâs game against Footscray and won again the following day, playing a starring role. Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell is fine with Ginnivan going to the pub, because thatâs how Coach Mitchell rolls.
After Sydney beat GWS Ginnivan sent the following Instagram message to Sydneyâs Isaac Heeney.
Youâd be nailing that message to the dressing room door if you were Coach Hinkley of Port Adelaide.
Anyway Ginnivan got a beauty of a goal before half time tonight and was met by a sea of Hawthorn supporters in the crowd doing his trademark celebration.
All to play for going into the second half in front of 53,000 at a jam packed Ye Newe Adelaide Oval.
Winker Watson with the first goal of the second half for Hawthorn with another dodgy free kick after the ball had gone out of play but was not called.
The umpires are doing their best for the Melbourne television market here.
And now Winker Watson with another goal. Hawks in front 36-39.
INTINSITY.
Five or six minutes of pinball all around the ground with both teams going inside 50 four or five times but not scoring ends with a pinpoint long ball by Jason Horne Francis to Willie Rioli and Rioli puts Port back in front.
This is FINALS FOOTY.
Massive mistake by Hardwick of Hawthorn as he hits a kick off a defensive mark straight into the head of a retreating Port Adelaide player and Darcy Byrne Jones picks up the crumbs and slots it through for 50-39.
Port Adelaide have applied enormous pressure after Hawthornâs two early goals in this quarter.
Substitute Luke Breust with a massive goal for Hawthorn in his 300th AFL game. Inside the last minute of Q3.
James Sicily snuffs out a final Port attack.
50-45 at three quarter time.
Seat belts at the ready for strapping in.
Winker Watson with his third goal.
51-51 early in the final quarter.
Georgiaaaaaaddddeeesssss. Port 57-51 ahead.
Burgoyyynnnneeeee
63-51.
Is the Joe Biden like figure of Coach Hinkley to be handed a lifeline?
Horne Francissssssssssssssss
POWER SURGE
69-51
15:27 left.
Hawthorn captain James Sicily moves up into the forward line and gets a captainâs goal. Two goals exactly in it.
Or has he? VAR investigatingâŚyes he has.
It was probably touched on the way through the evidence deemed not clear enough.
Sicily misses an open goal! Heâd done the hard part by creating the chance.
Ginnivannnnnnn! GOAL. 69-64.
10:26 left. Here we fucking go.
