Game Review
The Dockers transitioned well from their defensive midfield tonight, achieving an inside 50 from 56% of chains and scoring 4.2 (26) from the source, whilst limiting the Blues to just 1.2 (8) from their defensive midfield. Fremantle were unstoppable from the centre today, scoring 5.1 (31) from 17 centre clearances. Their total of 31 from the source is their most since Round 1, 2019. After trailing by 41 points at the 12-minute mark of the quarter, Carlton has been dominant, scoring 5.2 (32) and having 10 of 12 inside 50s.
