that has left the Blues only a game adrift of the top eight, and may have ended the Dockers’ finals hopes.The Blues’ pressure was enormous in what was a complete performance. Essentially, the high-priced big boys, Patrick Cripps, Sam Walsh, Harry McKay, Charlie Curnow and Weitering, those who club CEO Brian Walsh did not name specifically but had said earlier in the season had left the salary cap “top-heavy”, are now doing the heavy lifting.
