Richmond have dropped their kicking efficiency in the third quarter with Carlton upping their rate. It makes for an interesting finale to this match. Got to love footy on a Thursday night.
28:40
BEHIND BLUES - Anywhere will do for the Richmond defence. It goes to Jamison outside 50 and he runs in. It looks good off the boot, but it clips the post.
29:30
Gibbs has been paid the free kick and he will kick after the siren. Crucial shot at goal coming up.
30:15
Gibbs fails to register a score and it's 23 points at three quarter time. Back for the final quarter in a few minutes. Put the kettle on and settle back. The final quarter is set to be a beauty.

Another Carlton opportunity goes begging with Waite kicking it out on the full.
