Blog log from EF of 2024: Brisbane vs Carlton

Neale is at the feet of Daniher for a throw-in to 25m but hits the post with a snap on the burst. (Q1 5:25)
Neale roves near CHF, baulks past Newman and gives to Wilmot to blazes wide left. (Q1 5:58)
Rayner marks on the point of the centre square and wheels for a kick long to the square, Daniher is there but watches it skid past him for the first goal! (Q1 12:29)
That kick was swerving to the left but took a nice off break to miss the left goalpost. (Q1 13:15)
Daniher marks 50m out on a slight angle and fades a left-to-right drop punt straight over the goal umpire’s cap. (Q1 19:49)
Ashcroft sets up Lohmann to snap his first goal from 35m on the flank. All the ball in Brisbane’s half. (Q1 21:40)
Another centre clearance to the Lions marked by Hipwood, melee erupts so Hipwood gives a Joe the Goose special to Daniher for the goal. (Q1 23:44)
Cameron marks a McCluggage pass near true CHF after Andrews starts a rebound that seems a bit too easy in Q1 of a final. Charlie misses left. (Q1 27:27)
Morris takes a contested grab over Cowan in a pack 25m out on a slight angle for another one. One-way traffic. (Q1 28:29)
A 50m penalty against McKay in attack sets up a Berry mark over Docherty 45m out just before the QT siren from a Starcevich inside 50 kick. Berry doesn’t score. (Q1 32:40)
Cameron pounces on the spillage of a smothered Docherty kick in the pocket and curls through the goal. It’s a procession down that country road. (Q2 6:04)
Ah Chee is on the end of another flowing move through midfield for a goal from 40m in front. (Q2 10:24)
Rayner has the sit on Cerra for a specky 30m out for another one. No sign of any let up so far. (Q2 13:19)
Bailey marks a Zorko pass from the centre in the pocket 30m out after winning a raffle with Lohmann, he slots the set shot drop punt. (Q2 15:23)
Morris grubbers from a pack 25m out on the flank but it’s wide right. (Q2 18:24)
Two Lions stuff up an easy intercept at the Blues hotspot, Durdin gives to Cripps who finally puts the Blues on the board with a snap goal from 20m. (Q2 24:34)
Cripps provides a crumb for Fantasia who snaps a wobbler straight through off a step from 30m on the flank. (Q2 27:00)
McKay beats Lester to clunk a pack mark near the hotspot but burns a fairly easy set shot. (Q2 31:24)
Ah Chee misses the first set shot of second half junk time. (Q3 1:03)
Hewett marks a repeat inside 50 kick by Young 45m out on a slight angle and just clears the pack on the lien for a goal. (Q3 5:13)
Om another repeat inside 50 Walsh gives inside from the HFF to Elijah Hollands, he snaps across the body off the left from 40m for another one for Carlton! (Q3 7:38)
Blues from the centre as well through Newman’s long ball, McKay beats Andrews to mark untouched 40m out on a slight angle, he kicks truly! (Q3 9:15)
Morris leaps for a mark at the top of the square from an Ashcroft kick, he rams the kick into the left goalpost! What!? (Q3 14:04)
Lohmann is over the back on a downhill play, Saad’s chase forces a loose Joe the Goose, McGovern’s chase forces Lohmann to fumble the chance, rushed behind! (Q3 15:16)
Finally the Lions get the goal they have pushed for with Ah Chee not missing from point blank range running to the goal line. (Q3 16:24)
Hewett to Cripps for the next centre clearance which lands in the breadbasket of Kemp 40m out on a slight angle, Andrews again a few steps behind. Kemp misses to the right. (Q3 17:44)

McCluggage passes to Lohmann who shanks from 35m on the flank for no score. (Q4 11:59)
Starcevich intercepts the resultant rebound and passes to McCluggage 45m out on a slight angle. Predictably, that kick flies right and OOTF. (Q4 12:42)
McInerney juggles a mark in front of a pack 45m out near the boundary, Carlton players and fans didn’t like it but he shoots short… Lohmann marks and goals! (Q4 13:59)
That is the official sealer, after Carlton had got within some sort of touching distance but never quite closed the gap to something realistic. (Q4 14:41)
Rayner takes a pack mark in the pocket 25m out and kicks off junk time with the goal. (Q4 16:25)
Docherty snaps an extremely well-received garbage time goal. (Q4 17:33)
