Carlton were the favourites in this contest and, from quarter-to-quarter, were ahead the whole time, and we get to hear The Song for the eighth time this year!!
The Brisbane side are a shadow of their former selves; half the side that once caned us by more than 100 points during the reign of Denis Pagan. What will it take for those who make such decisions to call it on Vossie’s tenure? Maybe they don’t have someone to fill those shoes, and it’s the devil they know versus those they don’t...
Any which way you look at it, the end results at Etihad Stadium this afternoon were:
Carlton 4.4 8.8 13.9 19.10 (124)
Brisbane 2.3 3.5 4.8 9.9 (63)

Next week, Carlton (now 3rd) has Sydney back here next Sunday (#AFLBluesSwans) – there’s still the Carlton-Sydney hoodoo but Carlton have the edge this year, and should take the four points. Brisbane (still 15th) have Richmond at home on Saturday night (#AFLLionsTiges), which should be a win for the Tigers.
