From a list point of view, from where you're at, is this a good coaching job to get?

Yeah, I think like the Carrot for North and like the Giants, they kick 14 goals in a quarter.

What do we see with the Giants?

Can they get on a roll?

Taylor's back, Whitfield's back.

You know, they've got some quality still to come back in.

So, to keep them alive with five wins at this point of the year is great.

And then Collingwood's still looming, like they would be huge in a wildcard.

So, I think absolutely it's going to be a winner.

It keeps the season going for longer.

The heroics of Patrick Cripps propels Carlton to a third straight win under interim coach Josh Fraser.

Challenging the imagination what the Blues might yet be capable of achieving.

Vice-captain Jacob Weiderich joins us.

Loads up into the goal square.

The fail safe fails again.

All involved in the score review system unable to correct the howler on a day the umpire's department treated the football world like lemmings.

And the eternal fascination that is Essendon.

The sacking of Brad Scott, the declaration of James Heard and the campaigning to make Essendon great again.

This is the Round 12 edition of Crunch Time.

There hasn't been euphoria from the Carlton community like that since the 2023 semifinal.
