Clancee Pearce has a set shot from just outside CHF rushed in the square. (Q1 20:40)

Danyle Pearce passes short from the HFF down the line to Ballantyne playing two steps in front of Baguley at 40m near the boundary. Balla kicks truly. (Q2 10:46)

Clarke marks unopposed on his chest at 45m in the corridor from a centring ball by Pavlich. He misses. (Q2 13:37)

Sandilands feeds Clancee Pearce at a stoppage near the hotspot for a goal that is received in lukewarm fashion. (Q3 16:19)
