10:18pm AEDT- Carlton 69 defeated by Brisbane 109

JONATHAN Brown kicks his fifth and the NAB Cup premiership cup is heading north.

The siren sounds at the Dome for what is the club's first silverware since the 2003 premiership win.

Carlton gave very little after half-time.

THE Lions look home at the Dome.

They have kicked the first two goals of the term, through Ash McGrath and Rohan Bewick, and lead by 28.

It looks like curtains for the Blues.

9:50pm AEDT - Carlton 67 trail Brisbane 82 at THREE QUARTER-TIME

THE scoring dried up late in the third term, but it would not have worried the Lions.

They head into the final term with a 15-point lead.

It would have been by more had they not blown a few chances late in the term.

The Blues seem tired - can they fight back in the last?

COMETH the hour, cometh big Browny.

11 minutes remain in the third term.

GREAT start to the second half by Brisbane.

Patrick Karnezis gets on the end of one, running onto it to kick a goal from 40m out.

Jack Redden then decides to get in on the act, snapping one that bounced and bounced its way through.

Jonathan Brown then kicks his third after winning a free for in the back.

Three quick ones and the Lions are back in front.

8:44pm AEDT - Carlton 47 lead Brisbane 41

Josh Green kicks a very important goal to halt Carlton's run.

It has been all Carlton this quarter, but the Lions now trail by only a goal after Green's six-pointer.

And what a goal it was.

He received a handball from Ash McGrath deep on the boundary and proceeded to kick a banana goal on the run.

That's Green's second goal.

8:35pm AEDT - Carlton 42 lead Brisbane 34

THE Blues have gone bang.

Carlton kick the first goal of the second term through Levi Casboult.

Bryce Gibbs gathered and booted it long to Casboult, who was able to out position Daniel Merrett.

Then Nick Duigan runs through the centre and makes no mistake from 45m out.

The run-on continues with a supergoal to Zach Tuohy.

Brisbane have stopped.

8:18pm AEDT- Carlton 21 trail Brisbane 33 QUARTER-TIME

THE Lions lead at the first change, but the Blues are back in this.

It started with Eddie Betts, who kicked a badly-needed goal for the Blues.

The Lions kicked four goals in a row before Betts weaved his magic, snapping a terrific goal from the pocket.

Then Bryce Gibbs kicks a nine-point supergoal after drilling a long one from outside 50.

Great mini fightback by the Blues after the Lions skipped away.

8:09pm AEDT- Carlton 6 trail Brisbane 33

THE Lions are on fire.

Ash McGrath missed a sitter before Daniel Rich snapped a great goal on his left foot to extend the Brisbane lead.

Then big Jonathan Brown takes a strong grab and goals.

If that was not enough, James Polkinhorne followed it up with a great snap goal.

The Lions are being well beaten in the possession count, but look much more dangerous when going forward.

Carlton need to steady here with four minutes remaining in the first term.

7:57pm AEDT - Carlton 6 trail Brisbane 13

THE Lions are up and about.

Carlton have dominated the early going and are winninng the football.

Yet the Lions have jumped ahead through Josh Green.

The young Lion took a great one-handed mark 15m out in front of goal and made no mistake.

Then Dayne Zorko kicked a great, long goal from outside 50.

Here they come.

PRE-GAME

Superstar Chris Judd makes his first appearance of the pre-season tonight - and what a time to do it.

Make no mistake of it, the Blues want this and see it as the perfect way to launch their new era under new coach Mick Malthouse.

But the Lions, who are still aggrieved this match is not being played in Queensland, decided a long time ago they wanted to win the NAB Cup.

If they win, it will be their first piece of silverware since the 2003 premiership win.
