The switch is on for the Blues however their momentum is lost with play held up as Hansen is forced to leave the ground as a result of the blood rule.
06:04
Kangaroos Interchange - Lachlan Hansen off due to the blood rule.
07:10
Daw has been important in the second half and he chimes in with an important mark in defence to temporarily halt the Blues' charge.
08:10
The tempo has been frenetic so far and the big question will be which team has the legs in this final quarter.
10:10
BEHIND KANGAROOS - Adams has a sight of goal and gets his shot away however a desperate lunge from Murphy does enough to affect the kick which squeezes through for a behind.
10:25
SCORE BEHIND - Kangaroos (Leigh Adams)
11:30
Disappointing result for Henderson who marks and takes the man on however his kick into the pocket is to no-one in particular and is forced over the boundary line by the Kangaroos' defence.
13:09
SCORE GOAL - Blues (Bryce Gibbs)
13:10
GOAL BLUES - The ball is cleverly tapped out to Gibbs who, with a touch of class, snaps at goal and finds the major opening to give the Blues some breathing space with the lead now beyond two kicks.
13:28
Blues Interchange - Troy Menzel and is possibly out for the game.
15:48
SCORE GOAL - Blues (Lachie Henderson)
15:50
GOAL BLUES - A free kick to Henderson for hands in the back and he goes back and squeezes through his fourth which is confirmed by a score review after the goal umpire tumbled to the turf.
17:30
GOAL BLUES - After taking the relieving mark deep in defence, Waite streams forward to present a target up forward and, unmarked, he strolls in and toes it through.
18:43
SCORE GOAL - Blues (Jarrad Waite)
19:00
BEHIND KANGAROOS - It looks as though it just isn't the Kangaroos night as the attempted checkside from Cunnington misses to the near side.
20:22
SCORE BEHIND - Kangaroos (Ben Cunnington)
20:30
Petrie is wrapped up in a tackle deep in the Kangaroos' forward pocket however he does well to force a ball up right next to the behind post.
22:20
Still time on the clock for the Kangaroos if they're good enough but they need a six-pointer and they need it now to have any chance.
23:00
SCORE BEHIND - Kangaroos (Levi Greenwood)
23:10
BEHIND KANGAROOS - Greenwood with a shot at goal but he is unable to convert as the Kangaroos' hopes begin to fade.
24:35
SCORE GOAL - Blues (Lachie Henderson)
25:00
GOAL BLUES - Daw spoils Henderson strongly however the umpire rules that he had infringed in the process and, from the resultant free kick, the Blues' forward dobs his fifth.
26:26
SCORE GOAL - Blues (Lachie Henderson)
26:30
GOAL BLUES - Henderson puts the icing on the cake with his sixth goal, his best ever haul, as the Blues march on to what will be an impressive victory, arguably their best of the season.
28:07
SCORE GOAL - Kangaroos (Lindsay Thomas)
28:30
GOAL KANGAROOS - Thomas from right in front of the sticks, pops through his fourth continuing his excellent record against the Blues.
29:52
