Curnow being re-strapped
He is still on the bench but Curnow looks to have his ankle re-strapped and his boots back on.
The Blues are down a man with Marchbank off with a suspected concussion but it seems a good time to just sit the start forward.
Blues 130, Roos 80 with five mins to go.
Curnow hobbles off
Curnow has left the game and was hobbling as he went to sit down at the bench.
It’s hard to see if he is being re-strapped.
ABC radio reports he has ankle problem and is being treated for it.
The crowd has been listed as 47,565. Good Friday footy wins again.
Blues 130, Roos 80 with six mins to go.
Wardlaw kicks a goal
George Wardlaw continues to show some grit as he pushed up and intercepted a pass from the Blues and booted a running goal.
He has battled an ankle issue and a corked thigh but kept fighting through it.
Quality finish as well.
Blues 130, Roos 80 with nine mins to go.
Hollands salutes on Blues’ debut
Elijah Hollands has won a free kick after being tripped up.
He went back and booted his first goal as a Blue.
The former Gold Coast Sun looks right at home with his brother Ollie.

Cripps on the board
Patrick Cripps has snapped a goal from goal square.
As usual, the Blues superstar was quickest to react.
The umpires did a review to see if it was touched but it was called a goal.
Blues 118, Roos 74 with 13 mins to go.
Marchbank off after head hit
Blues defender Caleb Marchbank is being helped from the ground after flying for a mark with teammate Jordan Boyd but they both went to ground and Boyd’s hip landed at full speed on Marchbank’s head.
I doubt we will see him back today.
The Blues have already subbed Corey Durdin out with Orazio Fantasia on in his place.
Blues 112, Roos 73 with 17 mins to go.
Owies kicks his third
Owies has kicked his third to get the scoring under way in the final term.
The Blues streamed into attack and three of them could have ended up with an open goal.
This could be a very tough last term for the Roos.
Blues 112, Roos 72 with 18 mins to go.
3QT stats
3QT: Carlton 16.10 (106) to North Melbourne 11.5 (71)
Eddie Ford kicked another goal for the Roos, after some gutsy lead-up work from Wardlaw so he has kicked two-straight majors to end the term.
But the Roos still face a big deficit going into the last term with Curnow and McKay giving them big trouble in attack.
