Game Review

Carlton pull off an impressive, hard-fought win away from home, overcoming a game-defining breeze through their effective intercept game. In the last quarter, they managed two goals from midfield intercept chains; six of their seven goals came from intercept chains through the match. Walyalup had the breeze in the last quarter but was unable to capitalise on the territory dominance. They registered 13 inside 50s in the last quarter but scored just five times - a conversion rate of just 38%. Despite the breeze, the Blues kicked a score from 66% of their forward 50 entries in the last quarter.
