Cloke goes long to the square from the HFF, Fasolo runs back to mark over Lonergan for the first goal. (Q1 1:41)
Cloke marks on the HFF, wheels around and goes long to the square where Pendlebury beats Lonergan one on one to mark and goal. (Q1 4:07)

Dixon is paid a free for a clumsy challenge by Brown near the hotspot to bump him under the ball. He goals. (Q1 19:47)

Harbrow intercepts a rather lazy kick by Sidebottom from the BP to the hotspot. But he sprays it horribly, very disappointing. (Q2 7:55)
Fasolo leaps and marks a long ball down the flank to 30m in front of Cloke and a host of Suns. He goals. (Q2 8:44)
Those two set shots are instructive. The few stars the Suns have left are playing poorly, while the Pies are professionally putting away their chances. (Q2 9:21)

Raines feeds Sexton for the centre clearance at the next bounce, the long ball to the square causes Frost to conceded a holding free for a consecutive Dixon goal. (Q2 20:32)
Raines kicks blindly from a pack near the hotspot, it bounces in space on the flank 25m out, Sexton is first to the fall, he gathers with skill and snaps truly! (Q2 23:32)
Saad gives to Sexton after the Suns dominate the next centre bounce, he hits Dixon on a lead at 40m on a slight angle. Dixon does the rest, they are back in town! (Q2 24:48)
Swan just shaves the post with a long snap from the HFF. (Q2 27:02)
Lonergan clatters into White on the lead at 45m on a slight angle and catches him high to concede a slightly unlucky free kick. White goals! (Q2 28:24)
White wins a wrestle with the understrength Schade to mark a long Blair ball to the hotspot for another one. Those goals coming very late in the quarter. (Q2 31:03)
Elliott marks in front of Lonergan at the hotspot and puts the set shot straight over the goal umpire’s peaked cap for the first goal of Q3. (Q3 2:48)
Swan runs over the HFF and kicks from 45m, Cloke is in the square but it’s over his head for a behind. (Q3 5:25)
Pendlebury gets a handball on the HFF, does Saad cold with a step to get onto his left boot, and makes no mistake from 45m. (Q3 7:48)

Sexton mops up a ground ball on the wing after a fumble by Brown, and passes to Dixon at 40m on a slight angle. Dixon misses. (Q3 11:11)
Cloke leads in front of Schade and clunks a Goldsack ball at 45m on the flank. He misses. (Q3 13:39)
White can’t mark a ball to the hotspot, it bounces behind him, Elliott leads McKenzie to the fall and tries a volley from 25m… it’s good! (Q3 17:08)
Cloke marks in the pocket but plays on because he thought it was touched, and misses. (Q3 18:08)
Elliott takes a one-handed mark on the boundary 40m out behind Harbrow, from a long Adams kick. He threads the needle like a good forward should. (Q3 21:25)
White stands tall and marks in front of Kolodjashnij at 30m on the flank. White boots his fourth goal straight. (Q3 24:10)
Pendlebury finds Crisp on his own at 35m on the flank, just before the 3QT siren. Crisp’s set shot starts straight but veers left of the goalpost. (Q3 28:26)
White sprays a snap on the run from 30m on a slight angle to kick off Q4 junk time. (Q4 1:09)
Blair marks on the lead at 35m on a slight angle and misses. (Q4 3:10)

Elliott repeats the dose from much the same spot for his fourth goal. (Q4 12:25)
