Game Review
The Blues struggled against the middle-of-the road Lions and trailled by 7 points at three-quarter time.
A 3-7 to 1-2 final term allowed Carlton to record a relatively comfortable win, making it 7 wins in a row.
Much improvement would be needed in future weeks, especially against high-flying South and Collingwood in the next fortnight.
