Official Match Report
Milestone games to former skipper Scott Freeman (200) and current skipper Dale Beeson (100) were not enough for the Roos to stop Railways bursting out of the blocks. Despite some better footy and closing the gap to 17 points at three quarter time, Railways with ruckman James Staples in awesome touch, and Kody Kelman kicking 11 goals the Panthers had enough poise in the final term to extend the margin to 37 points by the final siren. Half forward Meshek White also chimed in with three goals and took a screamer of a mark and included some Alan Didak like party tricks to round out a solid afternoon for himself.
