Watched the replay. Here's my deep dive into the First Quarter.
50 secs in. Great tackle. Free kick. Garcia 30mt out, 45°, misses by a metre
2 mins in. Croft marks 40mt out. Slight angle. Just scrapes in for a point.
2.50 in Libba on 50mt on his right. Naughton and Darcy hang back. Kick marked by Cox. Naughton too late to effect the contest.
3.30 in. Boundary throw in centre wing. Ŵe win stoppage. Ball gets to Bailey Dale. He doesn't make the distance from 45mt on his right foot. When he got the ball we had no one in the goal square. Freo mark in square.
4.30 in. Kennedy and English BOTH go for the mark. Ball spills. Freo pounce. Lobb is not shoulder to shoulder with Treacy. Kick is perfect.. He misses.
6.00 in. Kennedy has Williams short, on his own but kicks to Naughton in a 2 on 1. Naughton goals. Kick out of mid air.
7.00 in. Boundary throw in. 80 mt out from Freo's goal. English gives up front position to Darcy. Perfect tap to Young who bursts free. Drives Ball deep into pocket. Ball spills from contest to Bolton who kicks brilliant snap goal.
8.30 in. Davidson,, on his left, has a shot at an open goal square from 45 out. Rolls through for a point.
9.30 in. Busslinger marks. Between wing and centre. There's a huge hole in our forward 50 but no one is leading. He kicks to a contest which English doesn't make. Richards can't mark against taller opponents. Stoppage 50mt out. We win it. Davidson centres ball but goes straight to Ryan
9.50 in. Garcia misses a very gettable snap from 20mt out.
11..15 in. Garcia handballs directly to Young who hand passes to O'Meara who delivers perfectly to Amiss on the lead 5mt clear of JOD. Goal. 14 - 4 inside 50 and THEY LEAD. FMD! And if you look at the replay you will see that, as soon as Young got the ball, Amiss began to break away from JOD and run left to be in direct line of sight with O'Meara, leaving JOD trailing behind him. Did he read the play better or is that playing to a system? At this stage. Brayshaw and Serong have had one disposal each.
13.00 in Umpire sucked i. Free kick against Freijah for a push
6.00 mins to go. Croft marks from Naughton. Goals.
From the centre bounce Libba gets advantage call, and with lots of space kicks on his right to a contest when he had Freijah on his own. Ball punched clear. It ends up with Libba again, 48 mt out. He misses on his left. 16 - 4 inside 50s

2.10 left. Banfields shot is marked by English on goal line. He kicks to Lobb, who kicks to Williams who kicks to Darcy who kicks to Bont who is just forward on the centre. We have no one inside forward 50. He kicks to Davidson. Freijah missed the opportunity to block. The kick had too much hang time and Freo punch it over
1.30 left. West caught high. Free kick goal.. 19 inside 50s
Serong had 2 possessions in the first quarter.
