I listened to the end of the match on ABC Radio.
It was Carlton's first win over Hawthorn at the MCG since 2000. A few players playing in today's game were not yet born when that game in 2000 was played. When that game was played, Princes Park was still a current ground. Since 2000, Carlton had beaten Hawthorn only 3 times, because Carlton were winning spoons and Hawthorn were winning premierships. It's now 4 wins.

"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi final
Sort of understandable considering they have won 3 out of the last 4 premierships....but also not surprising at all, considering they were thoroughly outplayed after quarter time and looked more like Carlton. The Lions do look primed to challenge anyone now.....and that should be the real take out from the match.
Crows are still hanging in there, with a chance of an upset. 5 points down, with 4 minutes to go.
Adelaide taking it right up to the Demons . Great last quarter good pressure being applied by the Crows
Big Tex kicking a goal up by a point with a minute to go
Didn’t help with the tipping but a terrific win by the Crows came back from 16 points down

Crows v Dees was v exciting footy . Ex Croweater , so I was v one eyed , didn’t think they could do it 16 pts down and 7 mins remaining.
Tex could have easily fumbled that mark low down . So he deserved the crack and said (after) ‘I just imagined I was back in Broken Hill “
Saints foreign legion were an embarrassment, not playing finals.
Bloody Crows, local media will be sickening all week now, always best that they lose
Melbourne have started to get ahead of themselves as only Melbourne can.
Well done crows, and Matty nicks. Best game of the round.
Posted on this before, but the Saints ain’t gonna be a top four side this year or the next few. They grossly overestimated both the spread of young talent they really have, and the quality of those they brought in as recruits. A middling side who’ll occasionally make the eight, and that’s it.
You can put a very, very big black Texta through the mighty "aints".
Richmond are ninth. Back where they belong
