The siren sounds and the Swans' theme song blasts out around Etihad Stadium, in the end they were just too good for the plucky Blues who simply couldn't match the Swans on the scoreboard.
GOAL BLUESWith minutes left to play the pace has gone out of the game and the Blues are finding it a little easier to score, Murphy wins a free 30 out right in front and puts the ball through.
BEHIND BLUESWaite has the ball 48 out hard against the boundary line, he pushes his kick wide for yet another Carlton behind.
BEHIND SWANSThe Swans' forward line is deserted and yet somehow the Blues still manage to turn the ball over to Malceski who's long raking kick rolls wide for a point.
GOAL BLUESCasboult has had two successive shots on goal, both missing, however the second one is bought to ground where Garlett gathers the ball and runs into the open goal.
GOAL SWANSJetta tries to gather the bouncing ball, he misses, turns around and tries again...this time successfully, he twists and turns through opponents before kicking it across his body, goal.
Murphy has a shot on goal and misses everything sending the ball sailing out on the full, free kick Swans.
Mike Pike has hobbled off after turning his ankle in a ruck contest against Kruezer.
GOAL BLUESGibbs kicks a much needed goal for the Blues, however they still trail by 31 points with time running out.
Collins is tackled by DennisLane and spills the ball in the goal square, Dennis-Lane pounces on the loose ball and is in turn tackled and is ultimately penalised for dropping the ball.
GOAL SWANSFrom a complex chain of hand ball on the last line of defence the Swans go coast to coast, streaming forward they get the ball to McGlynn, 30 out, who dobs the goal.
GOAL SWANSOnce again Sydney with the quick reply, this time it is Mumford who marks 35 out and has no trouble guiding the kick through.
GOAL BLUESThe Umpires are red hot on the ball carriers fending off tacklers and once again they have no problems awarding the free. Waite kicks his third courtesy of the free.
Carlton win the first centre clearance of the final term, however the Swans pounce on the ball carrier to force the ball out bounds for a throw in.
The siren sounds with the Blues still pushing forward, they have certainly taken it up to the Swans today but they just cannot translate all that work into score board pressure.
SUB CARLTONJamison is being subbed out with that possible hamstring injury, he will be replaced by Davies.
GOAL SWANSJack grabs the ball outside 50 and lets fly with a long, long shot...the ball is shepherded through and the Swans lead is back out to 32 points despite all Carlton's hard work.
SUB SYDNEYBolton's knee is being wrapped in ice and he will be replaced by Dennis-Lane
GOAL BLUESArmfield and Hannebery clash, both players only had eyes for the ball but Hannebery's trailing arm caught Armfield and he is awarded the free...subsequently kicks the goal.
Bolton has hyperextended his knee and has hobbled off, let's hope it is not too bad with 300 games beckoning. At almost the same time Jamison has limped off with what looks like a hamstring.
Carlton have upped the ante once again and are attacking in waves, the Swans' ball carriers are suddenly finding there's nowhere to run...now all the Blues need is to score.
Carlton have to work so hard to get into a scoring position and then seem to squander their opportunities while the Swans seem to be able to flow forward and score all too easily.
BEHIND BLUESMcClean 45 out running into goal hits the post, Carlton just cannot seem to catch a break.
BEHIND BLUESWaite has a ping on goal, the ball drifts off line and through for a point.
BEHIND SWANSWhite is unfortunate to kick the ball out on the full, close to the point post, as he crashes to the turf, from the resulting free kick McGlynn cannot curl it back far enough one point.
Bolton hits Kruezer's leg with his foot as he attempts a kick, the veteran limps off grimacing. Kruezer is apparently unhurt.
BEHIND BLUESA long kick into the forward line is forced through by the Swans' defenders for a rushed behind.
GOAL SWANSHannebery once again works his way into space and takes a diving mark in front of the pack, his second goal of the game puts the Swans 34 points in front.
BEHIND SWANSA rushed behind comes off hands and the Swans go out to a 28 point lead, this is not the start the Blues were looking for.
GOAL SWANSThe Swans with the first goal of the second half as McGlynn gets a dubious free kick after he is taken high by Armfield, who was carrying the ball.
The Blues finished the first half on a roll, they will be hoping to start the third term same fashion.
The Blues looked gone early in that term however they kicked three unanswered goals with good chances to kick two more as half time closed in to trail by 21 points.
BEHIND BLUESGarlett has the ball 50 out wide on the flank as the siren sounds, he will go back and take the set shot. Garlett's kick comes off hands and through for a rushed behind.
Richards takes yet another mark in defence, this time running with the flight, he has been rock solid in defence so far.
GOAL BLUESMurphy goes in-board to the running Armfield, he hits the jets and blasts through fifty before kicking a long goal...great play, the Blues have looked much better in the last ten minutes.
BEHIND SWANSPike is lurking on the outside of the maul, a Jack hand pass his him in the chest and from a standing start the big ruck man pushes the ball wide for a behind.
BEHIND BLUESCasboult with a poor kick sprays a set shot wide and the Blues creep another point closer. When you're team is working so hard to create chances you need to kick those.
GOAL BLUESA great tackle in the centre of the ground sees Carlton force the turn over and get the ball quickly forward. Catching the Swans on the counter Waite kicks an easy goal.
