Brown marks an O’Halloran short pass in front of Hughes 35m out in front on the end of a quick rebound through midfield. His set shot is a shank, right and OOTF. (Q1 11:25)

Taylor comes from the side to smother a Banfield kick from the square on a fast play that looked a certain goal. (Q2 1:22)
Jackson roves his own contest to the kick in, Serong spots up Switkowski 40m out on a slight angle, kick lands on the behind line and spoiled back in, Walters roves and goals! (Q2 2:02)
Ah but there’s a review to see if the ball crossed the behind line, it’s touch and go… soft call was a goal and it stands. (Q2 3:37)

Green gathers a clanger kick by O’Driscoll at half forward and goes short with good vision, Brown marks 40m out on the flank but misses. (Q3 10:21)
Coniglio runs to half forward and goes long over Ryan to Riccardi near the behind line for his third goal. (Q3 15:24)
Lloyd roves near the hotspot and gives outside to Greene who misses across the body. GWS in complete control here, crowd could start shouting ole. (Q3 18:11)
Brown is the latest Giant to goal after breaking through a Ryan tackle and snapping off the right boot from the hotspot, following a stoppage at CHF. (Q3 21:55)
Fyfe marks at half forward and feeds Serong who snaps the goal from 50m on a slight angle. A rarity for Fremantle today who have looked abject the longer the match has gone. (Q3 23:21)
Brown roves at half back and starts a quick slingshot with second to go to 3QT, Greene has Riccardi over the back who plays on but just kicks in time. Purple pain at maximum. (3 Qtr Time)
Ash passes to Coniglio 40m out in the corridor for the first score of Q4 junk time, which is a nick on the outside of the left goalpost. (Q4 4:03)
