Looks like Ash Close is on managed game time, probably comes on after the break...

Dogs trying to escape our 50, Alessi leads a pack tackle on the ball carrier... HTB!

From 40m, 20d... misses badly...

13-47

White has a fresh air swing for a spoil with one open hand, pushes his man in the back with the other and gets pinged.

And his man, #43, does his best to miss with this kick, but manages to wobble it home.

13-53

Golds goes long down the line, Gray goes fishing, emerges, kicks inside 50 for an unchecked Crocker, who marks and plays on and kicks the GOAL!

19-53

Magpiebat seems the only score updater for this game in Australia, stunning.

Borthwick pounces onto a loose ball tumbling into our 50, on the boundary, on the run, puts it to the square, WYATT third in line, read it best and marks!

And from the top of the square, makes no mistake!

25-53

That surprises me. We're in front of a capacity crowd here, so I am utterly shocked that no one else is using their phone...

Oxley receives across HB, hits up Hore in the corridor.

He marks, takes off, raking kick inside 50, Crocker reads it best and marks!

From 49m, barest of angles... misses.

25-53

I know it's only practice, but at some point, we're going to practice manning up their loose man in defence, right...?

Bests for the first half, any injury problems etc?

Thanks in advance.

Nobody's lost a limb or been carried from the ground, so I assume we're right for health.

Bests? Borthwick, Oxley, Golds, Toovey.

Other notables? Wyatt looking alright up forward, Cox an okay-ish job in the ruck, Goodyear has found a fair bit of it and Crocker with a 100% DE rating with a goal from his one actual disposal (I know you'll be pleased about that)...

Looks like Aish could play 2nd Half of the VFL
