Shut up! The board is on dribble, Elm! This is a triple M40 mini match. It's the elimination final between Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs. Now get ready for the first quarter. Let's go downstairs. The drama continues. Biggles, we're out of late change. Yeah, just when we thought that we'd low-nate, low-nate changes, you see Lockett McNeill coming out of the race now. So Michael Selwood is out for the Bulldogs. Something happened in the warm-up. Lockett McNeill would run down to the chain and he's got changed. He was the emergency. Coming to join the group down. He hasn't warmed up at all. So I'll come back to you once I find out what the injury is. It's a massive game. It's an elimination final. It's a massive team on triple M for McDonald's. And Remaugh boarder, triple M. Rocks football. The elimination finals, unplayable. Ramping in red on form. Get's the first touch of the night. Kicks Adelaide forward, loosball in front of the goal. O'Donnell was good. Bill Loewy's ankles picked the 40-up. They go out the Fraser on the outer side.

The dogs are away. His kick's not that good. You can hear it from the crowd. And he makes a mistake. The pressure gets to him early. In this elimination final. Lockett McNeill being held on the arm in that rock contestant. But a Millerer put him under the clock. Two bulldogs collide, allowing Millerer to get the kick away. Foggin' either target in the pocket. Couldn't take the mark. Coming, traps the ball. And then he's taken out a play on the right half forward flake. Adelaide, in fact, there's a free kick. He got pushed over the line. That was a bit soft of their cup. It's a fine arm. You can't pay. That's all he got. It's coming with the free kick. Adelaide inside 50 again. Oh no. The back no mark taken. The bulldogs at ground level have got numbers around the ball. It's sucking up the ground. Adelaide's score first, Foggin' he. That's Bob. He's sucking it up the ground. Bulldogs at three defenders over it and around it. They couldn't pick it up. Adelaide won straight six. Bulldogs hit the score.

He said it did you. It's going to be a big night for Tim Englis. He's first two contests have been putured. He was going back with the flight and Ruckman sometimes. He just needs to go back, take the hit, and do whatever you can to save a goal. He went back, he threw one arm up, ducked his head. I can't describe him any easier than that. He ducked his head, allowed the bull to hit the ground, and then they score a goal from it. Bob Jane team has big ult. They can confirm so. It's been ruled out with concussion from the warm up. Should the bulldogs win and go forward. He will miss next week as well against Brisbane. So I haven't found the incident, but concussion in the warm up. What am I going for? That's a brutal warm up. I need to do a goal post. Williams with the footy. The boy from Brighton in South Australia to kick him back inside 50 again. He plays that one. Just he plays on Richard Standing Start. Go! Western bulldogs. They've been pushing and pressing for the last five minutes. And finally they get one. One for ten they are.

At late one straight six, triple M peak and straight school board. He expect things just to settle down in a minute. He is frantic. Yeah, he is. It's on out there, Bern. But Adelaide had been on top, and he might have some numbers for us in a second, but they've been owning the ball down that end of the field. They've been looking for behind as well. Adelaide, they just need to slow it down. I know they're trying to rip kicks through the middle of the ground, but they just need to have a little bit of tempo for a minute here. They are being very aggressive. Red Z landing starts. Eight straight entries for the dogs. Five straight scores as well. Joel Frazier already. Five disposal. Dogs have a very good record when he wins a lot of the footy. Anyway, I just saw Keeser on the Arby Norman. He is not oiled up enough for a fight. That's not a lost off. Yeah, he's looking just too dry for me. Laurel's taking an intercept mark on the other side, kicks inside, 15. Tex Walker again goes out of it. Op hands, fogony. Fogony, the kick, Dale. Came in with a fist at the critical time. Killpork handles forward, fumble in front of Goffa. Adelaide, but it's actually eventually. And Keeser.

They love him here. And he gets Adelaide's second goal. Arby had a pin use a moment ago. And Adelaide got a 2-1-13 lead by 2.3. The Bordogs are 1-5-11. And you just get the feeling the Bordogs might have messed things up slightly with the chances they've had. They shoot about a couple more goals on the board. But it's early days in this elimination final. They won't go 5. Five opportunities have had. Scores dead level. We've got about 4 minutes left to play in the first turn. The crows are out here to lead. Take it about. It's waits for someone to move. To get rid of him fully. Tex is on his own. Neil Bullard's taking a mark. He's on his own. And the mark is taken by Cook Abbey. It was about 30 out. No angle to speak off. And he's going to go back and have a shot. Good burn was that by Celena Harvey. He could have kept running. But he would have taken the space and drawn the Bordogs players with him. He slowed up. And that just opened up a nice pocket for Neil Bullard.

And Lobby pushed forward as well. Which created space for Tex Walker. He's sitting in the goal square by himself. Cook was on his own. Options everywhere. Spins the foot in his hand. Scores level before the kick. Ladder stages first. Fermi Flotsett. Kicks the goal. Adelaide out by six points. 319 plays one, seven. 13. On the triple end, Beacon Trade, School Board, Beacon Trade, Banging Trade, with all the lighting fans, switches and electrical for the job. Beacon Trade, let's make light work. Well, they're winning clearance. They're winning inside 50s, the dogs. They're just not converting. And they're leaving the door at jar for the crows. It's been a fantastic opening term. Full of pressure here at the Adelaide Oval. As you'd expect in this elimination final. Six points to the margin in favor of Adelaide. Dying seconds of this opening term. They throw it in in front of the members. Beacon drew an English and English got the better of it. And it's West. West, one of their best players in this opening term.

Kicks it forward. No mark. Taken that was good. Lewis, Lewis, he's got a loose play. On the side, 50. Have they got? They're taking only second. Oh, they're a better run into an open goal. The first quarter just hasn't gone the ball dogs away. So many opportunities. So many missed. At quarter time, Adelaide by six points. 319. The ball dogs, 1 7 13. For three-point water. And McDonald's. Triple M rocked finals for each. Shut up. The ball is on Triple M. This is a Triple M 40 mini match. It's the elimination final between Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs. Now get ready for the second quarter. Adelaide by six points as we get the second term underway. The Adelaide oval. Come back, Donaldson, Rem, hot water, Triple M rocks football. The Ruckman, Havanary. Richards comes away with the foot. He had a good opening term. Kick their only goal. The Bulldogs goes to half forward.

Good bodywork from West. But he didn't find a teammate with his amble. Rankin who's been in red hot form. Got the handle away. Adelaide rush it forward. Berries a chance. Cut off by Bramble. Coming through hard Williams. Tried to get it to Bonham Pelley. But he couldn't pick it up. Cook came away for Adelaide. Kick it inside 50. Loose footy. They tried to just build it out of the Bulldogs. But they can't. They need to pick it up. Freshly world tackled. Right on the 50. And the on par will ball it up. Isaac Smith. Oh, great chord. Dets are telling you what. It started exactly like the first chord. And it is hot out there. So McAndrew gets the tap down. Rankin the drive. Boy. The Bull comes to Richellie. He really misses. He kicks the goal. The first one of a second term. Adelaide lead by 12 points. Richellie's first. He's their leading goal. Kick a 4-1-25. Fourdogs are 1-7-13. And that breaks the deadlock slightly. Triple M. Totally work where scoreboard. If Colton a few times did, Englishist needs me better in the contest. The death little tap from McAndrew down to,

it was actually down to Rankin and him to double grab it or drop the ball. If Boundstaff the Richellie. And as you mentioned, Edas doesn't need any time and space whatsoever. So the dogs will get another look here. Just the one goal on the board. That's far a very crowded inside forward 50. Nope. Went at one hand. Spilled the freezer. Step from 20. He's got it. Great finish. Magnificent finish for the Bulldogs. Two-7-19. They are 4-1-25. The crows. And we are ticking up to the eight-minute mark if the second term. Triple M. Totally work where scoreboard. Built to go. All season. Totally work where you love your work. Well, it's been a brewing game before ball. And I'm loving the energy and the pressure. But if I'm critical of both teams, they both haven't got it to the hot spot inside 50 enough. In a big final when the pressure's on, you're going to get extra people flying. So Adelaide had two in the contest to one. Frazier stayed down. Gets an easy snap at goal. But too often they're trying to pick the perfect pass. They're trying to look for a player in better position. And you just don't have to be pretty in early in finals.

That's probably the one thing Bernie could be critical of both sides. Yeah, I didn't mind how they moved it off the line though. So rather go straight back down the line where all the Adelaide key defenders were. He just shifted the ball just to the open side slightly, which gave Norton a least a run of jump out of. Frazier and again Richards does pick it up. She whips his magic and some heavy traffic. Gets it a doll on the head. What a bottom belly. This is what they need is bottom belly delivering in slide 50. Oh, no, it wasn't pushing. Oh, no, no, no. Gets the soft of the free kicks. The same front on contact. He just does. He can actually do. No, no, no, no. I'm poor. We've just seen the halving all the three. He's out of brain. You can't pay those. He had like Dr. Marx is done. He's got a good. He's got a good. He's got a good. He's got to get some medication for the umpire. So the hero from last week is his first real look at it tonight. What would you give it to him? I don't know.

Did you must have it? Yeah, they left our forward plate. 40 metres from goal. Kick on its way and he makes no mistake. And we are tied away at the Adelaide over. This is the elimination final. They're my crowd. No nuts. It was a soft free kick. But he makes no mistake. It was a beautiful kick. And they go to 3-7-25. Adelaide of 4-125. And give a go for the Bulldogs. Triple M totally work where score. It's a showman though. He's kissing the crowd. They're aboing him. Bit of showmanship. I like that in the big final. Especially when you're the way team. Bulldogs look like they're getting moving in the middle. This one. The palli Richards have all been big in the last five minutes. Bonham Pelley delivers forward. Not in the front. He's marked it. He joked it three times. He had a crack at it. And not in his mark. 20 metres out in front. Oh, this been a huge five minutes for the Bulldogs. Winning the ball in the middle, as we said. Winning in the contest. Contested marks. They've quite the crowd out. Listen, there's not a sound out there now.

This is what you need to do as an away team. You need to silence the crowd. And they have in the last five minutes. This is a huge kick. And the ball, Bonham Pelley's getting involved, isn't he? Gorton straight out in front. 50 goals for the season. And he just squeezed it in. It's a goal. It was close. But they go back to back goals, the Bulldogs. And they lead by six points. They go to 4731. At later 4125. It's only six points on the scoreboard. But Adelaide need to respond right now. The Bulldogs just getting on top. Yeah, they're getting on top. And it's in the centre of the ground. Thank you. I'll give us some numbers in a second. But I reckon they'll have a look at this as well. Trey Adelaide defenders were pointing at the post. Might have skimmed it. It went past. So we'll have a look. Red Zed landing. That's the centre clear. It's his second term. 4 zip the Western Bulldogs way. Marcus Bonham Pelley was a 20 second rate player on the ground. The first term, just for five touches. Now a 50 kicks number one. Rates in this second quarter. That's four touches. Well, Adelaide got Dorsen ranking and curtain in there. That's the starting midfield.

So they've got their big guns in there. Their weapons. And he goes to the outer side of the ground. Keys has got the footy. Chips one over the top. They're going to loose that on the outer side. Goes to Niel Bullon. Niel Bullon, the former demon, turns and runs hard. Deliver towards Fogady. Loved with the big fist from behind. It's a loose ball on that outer side. Miller picks it up. Comes around on to his right boot. Kicks it inside 50 at the back. It's a two easy. Takes the back. Plays on. Cook will run into an open goal. Adelaide. Get their fifth goal. And they square it up again. And Cook's got two. Five, one, 31 Adelaide. Bulldogs, four, seven, 31. What an elimination final. We've got the Adelaide oval. Red big ones on the boundary. That rain has just stopped for the moment. Still super slippery out on the field. You can see the class. The players who don't double-takes a rank in one arm in the wet was amazing. But there's been players who are fumbling down here. That's because of the wet. They're just not clean with the footy, but the class rises to the top. And that wind is completely dropped now. Bulldogs under heat too well.

Williams is in the middle. He's got it. And pass it to Wester. Press the point, Barry. Spilled the calmest. He just hacks a long ball through the middle. Oh, gee, that was one-hand one. He's going inside the underpider. The lower skits up, and the lower is forward. How markly are we taking my weight? 25, 20 meters out, almost in front of goal. I don't know if that was a mark in the middle of the ground, but the umpire paid it. And the Bulldogs get the chance. And that's the ground for goal. Hit the ground. The umpire was in the middle of the ground, and Lois's body protectors blocking the vision. So he's just paid the mark. It's not really up, but it's fault, but it definitely hit the ground. Just saw the Harvey Norman replay. Relaxed in Joy-Footy. Let the row-pots do the work. The Australian's complete. The lower robotics ecosystem of Alwell now. And Harvey Norman, as Wakeman, lines up runs in. 25 straight out in front. He's Vs. To the goal, and by runs a long way. They've missed some sinners tonight. And they go to four goals, eight, 32. You can't kick like that in the final.

5-1-31, Adelaide. The margin is one point. Paul Kahar with a long kick from fullback. A bounce through hand. It's built with the horse and beautifully drilling past. Out of sight, we can let Richelley run under what he does. Picks it up nice and clean. Get the eyes low. Looked for the league going inside forward 50. Use these backside corners as a payment. Hand pass over the top, another one to RG. 20 out of 12. Go, close. Go, close. Close. To coast. Adelaide hit the front five points. And the place is rocking at Adelaide Abel. The crows now. 6-137, the Bulldogs, 4-8-32. Trimlem Tugley, where scoreboard, ladder stages in this second turn. Oh, that's a massive goal from KMI-G. He's missed a bit of footy this year. They got him over to Adelaide. He's got a little bit of cream to the crop. They know how big he is in finals. Football has had a couple of brilliant grand finals. Just getting that goal just adds a little bit of confidence to KMI-G.

And I reckon the Adelaide Football Club. He's only played seven. He's done his hammy twice. He's been out for different reasons. But he's the primed in for finals. He's a big game player. Performed really well on the big stage in both of these grand finals. I reckon he's both, didn't he? Yeah, he was an Oregon Nelly Norm Smith in one of them. Very close. And with Donald Sremont water, Trimlem Robs football. Danger, I reckon he was close to. Very kick-sitting, so I think he's a G-G. Or a Nelly another mark to him. Text walk and as well. Great pressure, Adelaide. Short kick-inside, 50. Press Shelley takes for Mara. All of a sudden. He's turning over Adelaide. He's up with Rochelle. All of a sudden Adelaide are now winning set about. So, I reckon you mentioned, if they won the first four, the Bulldogs. And they just look like they were just going to dominate this term. And then Adelaide now starting to win it out of the middle. Rochelle kicks around the corner.

And he gets his second goal in the night. The leading goal kicker for 2026 for Adelaide. He's got two tonight. And a little bit of breathing space in this very, very tight elimination final. Adelaide 7143. They lead the Bulldogs 4-832. 11 point margin on the totally work where scoreboard. Yeah, on the red says, one of the last two set about clearances. Have the Adelaide pros. Since that dog's went on that three goal run to put them in front. Big waste for the second term. Crosa plus eight contested ball as well. That dog's pressure that was up 12 up to 200s down below the 170. So they're starting to really lift the middle of the ground. Morton's got a free kick for a hold. He's got 70 from home. Drops it inside. He's gone to the fat side. That scored Adelaide Jones lead there. He's marked. Oh, boy, back. He has 30 outs wide angle. Body was very good last week. Yes. Has he gone today in all seriousness? Just the three touches off the back of 17 of four goals last week. Has hit the scoreboard though one major. And did draw a free kick. Nice couple of goals.

We've been very snappy worked from the cross. The Bulldogs. Been nice to get one back here. Set shot. Jones puts the two. That's two, that is. He's got a couple. The dog he's by bang. 5838 plays. 7143. Five points up the cross. And we have got two minutes left to play in the second term. And the triple Italian work west football. Just two, that is. Why is it two seven? I play cricket. I guess it's two stars and one of each end. I'm going to line him up. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not a cricket. I've never thought about it. You don't want the up by going to meet her outside the star. So they give you center. I'm going to need a sunscraped off. I don't sleep. This is this baby. Coffee. I don't think this has been a lot. I'll just get me a usual three-course meal. Yeah. Snake Curtis. That's before dinner. Yes. As we wind the clock down a half time, go short to Barry. Barry's inside the center square. Defensive side of it. He comes across half back. The whole car. What are you for this young man? He gets thrown in in the mid-season draft and ends up becoming a very polished young footballer.

Half back. Paul Cahan delivers a long centa-wing. Look for Archie. No mark. Take it. Archie gets back quickly. Clever. Did well. Coming just tapped it on. It is hard time in the elimination final that the Adelaide over water game of footies. It is six point margin in favor of Adelaide 724. They lead the Bordogs 5-838. For Remot Water, Andy Dottles. Triple N Rocks final sponage. Shada. The footies are triple L. This is a triple M40 mini match. It is the elimination final between Adelaide and the Western Bordogs. Now get ready for the third quarter. The McDonalds and Reemot Water, triple M Rocks football third term. That's a crap. In the elimination final, Ruckenas crossed the line. And English gets the free kick. The first kick they go for, Dolan. The first kick takes the marks to the center square.

They will go inside 51st up. Or, gee, out on the lead. It was Davidson and it just had too much on it. And G. Keen has really worn him tightly tonight. Hasn't given him any chance at all. Fair enough to get into this game. Talor that night, the Bordogs. Last kick inside 50. They just cannot find someone inside 50 mark. Dawson or Walter or later. Worst kick we've seen in kick for a long time. A Phil Thorpe handled it beautifully. And then takes it back in a 1-2 handle with lead. He was a kick for a goal. So, probably the footy. Loose ball on the 50-foot ad-lade. And Walsh comes out arch. He left foot. That's probably the goal. And putty's good. That's a free shocking kick in a row. That is a shag off the side of the boot. And it goes out on the full. Yes, and it's got a pass. He just sort of got confused. Warrals got half-bossal. Come out to Miller. 165-1. Loafra putty's side is good. And Rankett has taken them out 40 out-slide. Angle, what happened there? I don't think I've ever seen that on a football field, Bernie. He just, he went to kick it.

And then just, his leg forgot to come through. He just left it behind and just kept running. So, it was almost like whoever was leading up the ground must have doubled back late. Or something, because he was looking up and then he just didn't want to kick it. It bounced behind him and then he was in all sorts. We don't want to replay. Just showed exactly what. Burn the scribe. So why is that Rankett settles with a 40-day lead by seven points. Early stage is third term. He'll drop it under. He's booted 45 out. Three-quarter post-hi. Looks straight. Inter home. Adelaide. Get an early nail in this third term. 8-3. 51 plays 5-8. 38. And the crows lead. Four-and-a-half minutes third term. That's all on the triple-end running straight school. Well, landscaper spent time. Less chasing products and more time on the tool. Call 13-4-872 and connect with Bunnings Trade Landscape Specialist today. Well, guess who Bernie, who do you want? That inside 51, Miller. So how's that, Rankett? He's having a patty knee.

Oh, he's just a brilliant footballer. The Rockman had a airy. He's really. Neil Bullen ran onto it. It comes out the keys. Keys. As a kicker, go. Look at there. Will it get there on the line? Oh, yeah. That's good. That's good. That's sort of been a great deal. If they're shippin' it through, they took off the ground. Look out, believe it. It all clearces the umpire to go. He picked him up and murdered it. So Adelaide, 19 point margin, which is massive now, in the context of this game. This is dumb to me, yes. The field comes dumped it, lob on the ground. It was definitely going to touch that. And just thought, well, he's going to touch it. I'd throw him to the ground, see if I can get away with it. And he got away with it. He's just thrown it down. He's laughing about it now. 29 seconds left of the third turn. 19 points. The lead for the cross. And they have the footy. Long kick to the outer side. Wing and neck. Herb has marks in front of Hines. Turns around. Just wanted a target and got one off half forward in Neil Bullen.

Drilling 20m pass. He plays on. Down to 10 seconds. Kicks inside. Dodds under pressure. Garden of Thumps it to the front of the pack. Bramber wants to see it out of Bounce West to Lee Goen. He's got 45 around from Adelaide's goal. And the clock stopped at nothing. Oh, that is frustrating, Bevo. The best play of the night. A couple of lead ups, as you said, did. They find an easy open target in Norton. And then he goes back and hits the post. And we throw and we'll see it at three-quarter time. 19 points up. And the Adelaide throws. For Remontwater. And McDonald's. Triple M rocked finals for Lee. Shada! The foot is on Triple M! This is a Triple M 40 mini match. It's the elimination final between Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs. Now get ready to the fourth quarter.

The winner hits the tag on Bruce McNeil's next week. Come back, Donalds and Remontwater. Triple M rocks football. And the final turn underway. English gets a little tap away. Wanted Bonham Pelley but Dawson got in the way. He gets a little kick away. It goes the wrong way. In fact, Bonham Pelley ends up with the ball somehow. To the livers inside 50, they need a mark. No, the back. Oh, fans minor score but a positive start for the Bulldogs. Bonham Pelley getting involved. And the up part we're bored up. The Doggie's a couple of looks early. 49th, they got. Change for the dogs. Can't us has gone forward. Some marking power, hopefully. Off-hands quick tope, four. And that's a mark. Good mark. A strong mark taken by Lewis. And he's only about 25 out. Well, he's annoyed everyone tonight, Lewis. He's been the antagonist. He's been a annoying keen, worrel. Anyone that comes in his area, he wants to bump an elbow. But here's his opportunity to stand up. This is a musket for the dogs. If they think they can overrun the crow.

So, Will Lewis just the 12 games this year. He came in for the contest Kennedy. The kick on its way. They get the perfect start of this final term. They will not lie down the Bulldogs. They never ever will. And they're not here in this elimination final either. They go to 6-11-47. The margin is 12 points. And later 9-5-59. Triple M toad, a ton of scoreboard. Well, I got the Santa Bounds clear. It says you asked for. Is he? Yeah. And the two ways he's going to win at Bernie. Santa Bounds clear. And then short kicks. Yeah. And that was probably an accidental short kick. But it worked. Yeah. Surely they mentioned that. Surely they mentioned that three quarter time. Short kick to West. He's 60 from behind. Oh, he's got the pocket. Lewis and Target. It's still inside. Take four. Oh, they got it. They got it. They got it. That is brilliant from Lewis. He just threw it on his burn across the body left foot. He's got it right in front of him on scoreboard. Jesus flat down there at the moment. That's a goblin of dogs.

7-11-53. There are six points within Adelaide. Can you believe it? 9-5-59. Early final turn. Triple M Toyota Tundra scoreboard. Well, they've challenged all their kicking. Every kick there was a short kick. And they lowered their eyes going in. So I have 50 brilliant finish from Lewis from the pocket. Ago, it's that. But Adelaide psychologically now. Adelaide respond. They look flat. They look flat. Look around. The cameras are on the Adelaide players. The power officer for the dogs. They're just like that. They're just like that. They're just running around. They believe they're trying to get each other up and about. Which naturally they are. How good is that finish from Lewis? He'll tap down the berry. Got a slap across the body. Lost the putty. Kennedy got a very good. He laid the tackle. What's happened? Come on up. Dangerous tackle. They've got to be careful not to make it about them. Ricky Kennedy goes short to Norton. He's marking in Gauy Handbacht. The Richards. Richards, Tux and Undery's arm. Tuck. Tuck. Tuck. Tuck. Tuck. Tuck. TheRockは

throwing off. Theτικ Great. The Dowie's three detours a level. scores dead. A double boom. Converter's scoreboard early stages final turn. I tell you what's happened. They've changed the way they're moving the football. I don't know why they didn't do this in the first three corners, but it's completely open. The Analyze, gross football club. Up at the moment, scores a level. Analyze will be nervous when he out in straight sets last year. The Pont is lifting, Richards is lifting. And the ball robs up back into this contest, long kick front of the screen. Oh, shit! What? It's not going on. Pont and Pellie are so important, and we're seeing it here right now. He has come from eight deep at 9. There was a huge back in front of him. He has just crunched him around in front of him and taken a huge aim.

Two posters tonight, though, for Norton. He has straight out in front. The left footer. Kick on its way. Oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! He's hit the point again. He's hit the point again. He's hit the point again. It's a three. It's an important point. They leave on a solitary point. It's at all left post as well. Is he ball-boxed, trout, bar. 19 moments ago, they leave by a point. And the master's taken on the outside. Cummings got the ball. He plays on. This will go to center-half forward. In fact, he goes out towards the puck and he said, Bill Thorpe on a lead. Wow. Touch from an out. Good lead. Good strung mark. How did he throw a lob? Good boy. Well, Bill Thorpe, the chance to put Adelaide back in front. Both teams are out on their feet, did so. If you can win the ball, especially in your back-up, there's going to be plenty of space in the years. It happens in big finals. It opens up in the fourth quarter. And then it comes down to who can execute in front of goal.

Bill Thorpe's got his opportunity. Can he take it? This is huge as well. Every moment is going to be huge now. So, Riley Coolport left half forward flank. 45 metres out. Kick on its way. And he's got it. Adelaide regained the lead by five points. Listen to the crowd at the Adelaide level. The place is shaking. It is rocking. Adelaide, go to 10-5-65. Bulldogs, 8-12-60. Triple M, Toyota, Tuckera Skullboard. What a center clearance we've got coming up. Oh, and all the big guns are going to be in there. What a final. This has been again. With that brilliant finals. A great wildcard weekend, last weekend. And then all four finals have been upsets. There's been heroes. There's been villains. Adelaide freaking on the other side. He's built up. He's built up. He's big in the rut.

He's career height. 15 hit outs. The same amount as Team English has had. Those two had to head in the rut. Seven rut contests. Team English is the one hit out. He's been pulled. He's curious. Kick on the other side. Kick's hide. A center half forward. No one for the test. No one from the Bulldogs even jumped at it. And Tex Walker marks on a post. The word for blow off this joint journey. He knocks his over. This could be his last and most important goal. He's probably had a few more ball ones. This is me in the context of this one. 712 goals in his career. None bigger than this one. Will this be his last one here? Tex Walker. Will we just outside 50? He'll get the distance or I'd. The kick-off. That's why. Tex Walker punches the air. Both arms in the air. Adelaide by 11 points. Is that enough to lift the home side?

Adelaide 11-5-71. It's good kicking. Four of a 12-16. Trit Weng's way out of Tundra scoreboard. I love him here. And he delivers. Well, as it been, he's biggest night. And there's not much to say. This way, you're up up to the footy. Gags on. There's moments like that. There's nothing better. Absolutely not. This game's been ridiculous. It's had everything. Goes for the long kick-out of side. Tex Walker in front. No. Didn't take the mark. And you'll get the ball at ground level. Lenny's tackled. Got the hamble away. Rankin. Rankin's long kick-inside. 50. No one there. Fogged. He's got two to beat. Can he do it? Loved ones. The wins the ball. Oh, that's a big hit. That's a big hit. That's a huge, barreling tackle from keys. That is the save of day. As the tackle of the year, many tyre players out here. The mistakes will come. Who will capitalize best? The kick-forward.

Big hit in front. Feel for huge grab. Yeah, it gets up to it. What's up, and going for it? And Foggan is mark 40-out. Directly in front. and he's got the ball. He's been huge, Neil Thorpe. He's been huge, Neil Thorpe. He's been huge, Neil Thorpe. Neil Thorpe, again in the contest that can be contested, grab, creates this shot on goal again. He stood up in a big final, which he's sending needed to do. He had two poor ones last year. Yeah, Red Z, highest rate of play on the ground in this quarterly field. Cut, look, he tested marks, five touches as well. And the elimination final. Adelaide, have it by 11 points. Set shot, foggity, 45, and he's done it. Foggity kicks in second. The red the noise. Adelaide out to a 17 point lead. And we've got five and a half minutes left.

Triple M to the out of Tundra scoreboard, Toyota Tundra, ready for everything. One again, Bob James, three marks, big goals. Team English just come back from the field you was expecting. He would have cut the normality back down the phone from Beve as he had his rest, putting back in the middle now, and Bill thought it's coming to change. But it's going to be an unbelievable upholstery from the crowd here. All of a sudden, what have the rest of Bulldogs got? They play on, Tundra play on, kicks it high, all the way to the goal square. Oh! Oh, he's got the English pass. Oh, he's got the English pass. No way. No. And as he gets the checks on, he couldn't see any day line. It was a miraculous goal. Of course it's from the... I don't think he has that. It provides a great time. And that seals the victory. Adelaide will win their first final, and the Maggins, and they fight on in 26. Water goal. Water clincher. Wow. We really saw Mark of the year, and we just saw him go in the year, because he dropped it. That's unbelievable. The whistle was so high,

and that goal was just impossible. Yeah, he could get from there. Oh, no, no. There is zero angle on that. It's not like I'm going to squeeze that through for no good. Everyone's in shock. We're going to... The crowd are going nuts here. They're going off. Guess what? Man, he's just got a job. No, he's still coming in. Oh, who he is. Well, I could have been for the Western goal, I don't know. Get the post three times tonight. What an effort, no, did. Get a good goal. He's been here, given their all. They kicked in accurately in the opening term. Oh, no way. And Adelaide have dominated Stinson the last three quarters. The Portox did throw everything at him. It's been an enormous effort. Nice, well done. Nice. It's a big spread. He had a lot of over. That's what Adelaide does a lot. Cheer for my prayer. That's great. Thumbs up. Still got the job. Yeah. You can all get stuck. He's still in his finger, man. That's an hot figure. Not everyone here remains. Yeah.

Like with the ball, it's happening. He's definitely at the athlete over. But Kroes, name is getting right behind the aside as they work in a long sin-winder break and cook. And he takes off. Yeah, and he liked to lay, takes the bounce. Kick in, so I won't hit the target. That's him. Oh, Timmy. Timmy, come on, Timmy. No, no, no. Oh, no. Oh, it's party time. That trick's becoming a shabby. Oh, get stuck. He's served two more seats and bragging dogs tonight. Oh, goodness. 46-90 to Kroes. The game's there. 30 seconds on the clock. 8-40, 62. So the dog is toy out of trouble. Poor boy. What a clagger. How good, this. What a privilege just to be here and watch it. Everyone has given their absolute all tonight. Richelle, Superstar, Rankins, kick one of the best goals of MSC. And every player on the field is just genuinely cracked in. This has been one of the all-time finals.

Last 19 seconds of the match. McDonald's and Rimmel, what a triple-amerach's foot. Tex Walker's last 19 seconds and Adelaide Oval. Dawson out of the center. Long ball, where's the Texan? It'll bounce his way, but he's lost, got on the way. And he marks it hard back. What a result. What an incredible game. 22 points. Each over. Adelaide, then in the elimination, final classic. And this proud need to be applauded themselves. What a game of foot. Maddie Nick's a smiley in the box. 4.6 90 Adelaide, 9.4. And 68, the four dogs. What a cracker. For Rimmel, what a... And McDonald's. Triple-M Rock's final is foot.
