PhilA is back ... thankfully with my drink ... no pie in sight

That's cos he ate it on the way up

[locky801]

Mini League done ... St Pauls won

Umpires and now North back out and "PLAYING TO WIN" is blaring out over the PA

A Roosters win would see every SANFL with a win after Rd 3 and the Eagles on the bottom

A Magpies win would see them with back to back victories for the 1st time since 2009 and back in the top five.


PhilA is back ... thankfully with my drink ... no pie in sight

I think we are about two - three minutes away from the start of the 3rd quarter.

Probably no pies left

[Big Phil]

Both sides back on the ground, going through their warm-ups...

Now heading into positions, the 2nd half about to get underway with your 'caller' Phil Herden...

Should be a good 2nd half of football...

Gallman taken without the ball, gets it to Allan with 'a' where the ball ends up going out of bounds again...

Maggies in control of the ball at half back, Dolling involved in a 1-2 play, ball out of bounds over in the north eastern pocket...

Mielkejohn soccer out of air, clinch at 50 had a runner but handball missed

OOB Half forward flank for Magpies, AllAn gets free

Another North Free for Delvin, about to hand off but 25m penality

Make that 50m against the Port captain, AllAn long kick, Alleway drops an easy one 30m out.,

Miller tries to clear, poor turnover, Backwell top of 50 chips to D Amrstong

Kicks 45m slight angle but falls short, push in back against Port not paid ball up in square.

Rucks to it, Port clear

Cheers.

Have North finished a game this year with a full bench in tact?

[Big Phil]

Butcher at half back for the Maggies comes down the centre wing, grandstand side where North have numbers at the contest and clear to their half forward line...

The ball goes out of bounds in front of the vocal home crowd, a bot of argy bargy at the moment, both sides firing up a tad...

Free kick to Ackland from the boundary thrown in sees the Roosters go in 50 before Dolling clears defence for the Maggies...

Slattery turns the ball over on the wing for the Maggies before the Roosters go inside 50 only to have the Maggies take it back out again...

Casey Carr bombs inside 50 for the Magpies, McIntyre phumps the ball through for a rushed behind to the visitors...

Score check - 10 minutes into the Premiership quarter

North - 8.6 = 54

Port - 6.6 = 42
