18:00
GOAL BLUES - Yarran runs along the boundary before unleashing a classy finish. The kick from 50 on the boundary was superb! Carlton needed that.

Melbourne have activated their substitution with Evans coming on.

27:00
Melbourne are looking every bit a winner late in the third quarter.
28:40
Jamison is back in the rooms receiving treatment. He needs to be out there for the Blues to have any chance.
30:05
THREE QUARTER TIME - Melbourne lead by 21 points at three quarter time with the Carlton fans booing Malthouse and co. Carlton will really have to turn their fortunes around to get up.

The siren has sounded to end Q3.

BEHIND BLUES - Everitt with a shot from outside 50, but he can't make the distance and it's punched through.
01:16
SCORE BEHIND - Blues (Rushed)
03:00
Spencer looking a tired man early in the quarter but he has led Melbourne to where they are now.
04:00
Andrew Walker has been switched to the goal square to pinch hit at full forward for Carlton.
05:00
Carlton players are getting frustrated with no options inside 50. The supporters even more frustrated with the booing after Carlton elect to go backwards.
06:00
Another Melbourne goal here can make things very interesting. The upset is on and could be a realistic result.
06:40
BEHIND BLUES - Cripps overruns the ball before applying the tackle to win the free kick for holding the ball, but his shot at goal is offline.
07:26
SCORE BEHIND - Blues (Patrick Cripps)
08:21
SCORE BEHIND - Blues (David Ellard)

11:00
BEHIND BLUES - Everitt runs to the 50 and fires, but he misses to the right.
12:00
GOAL DEMONS - We see it but we don't believe it! Carlton score five behinds and Melbourne kick the goal courtesy of Watts who splits the middle from 30 metres.
12:01
SCORE GOAL - Demons (Jack Watts)
14:30
Carlton need to lift and pronto with just over nine minutes remaining. It's not impossible but it is heading towards that direction with every passing second.
14:45
BEHIND DEMONS - A rushed behind to the Demons with Carlton under enormous pressure.
17:00
Melbourne lead by 23 points with just over six minutes left on the clock.
18:45
GOAL BLUES - That was just what the doctor ordered. A good running goal finished off by the ultimate runner in Yarran who taps it with his boot from 3 metres out.
18:46
SCORE GOAL - Blues (Chris Yarran)
20:00
There is no run out there with one on one contests all over the park. They need to be precise whilst Melbourne need to keep their nerve and scrap.
22:00
The clock is ticking on Carlton with just under four minutes remaining. They need three unanswered goals.
23:20
GOAL DEMONS - Pederson kicks a miraculous goal from the boundary and that will ice the game for the Demons. They will win and Carlton will start with 0-4 in 2014.
23:29
SCORE GOAL - Demons (Cameron Pedersen)
25:10
Carlton push into attack for a late consolation but it's not forthcoming. Some serious soul searching will undoubtedly take place down at Visy Park.
27:00
Carlton fans begin to pile out of the MCG with very disappointed looks on their faces. Perhaps they are rushing home to book a holiday in September because they don't look finals bound in 2014.
27:14
Demons Interchange - Cameron Pedersen off due to the blood rule.
28:20
FULL TIME - The final siren sounds with Melbourne recording their first win since Round 14 2013. They have defeated a very disappointing Carlton by 23 points.

The siren has sounded to end Q4.
