Game Review
The top of the ladder Blues crushed St Kilda in a percentage-booster (I can't wait until normality resumes).
After a reasonably even first half, Carlton added 15 goals to 2 to finish 102 points to the good.
At 5 wins and 1 loss ,Carlton were atop the ladder with a percentage of 161.3 after this match.
