Carlton has looked a premiership contender at times this season but has hit the skids as they struggle with injuries and whether they are a genuine flag threat.
Carlton has a month to prove the footy world’s faith in them as premiership contenders wasn’t misplaced after winning only one of their last four games.
“Maybe just sort of having to defend for that long took the energy out of us for the last quarter, didn’t seem like we had enough punch to finish the game.” “What we do have in front of us is an unbelievable opportunity, it’s well and truly in our control. We’ve got a month to go and the games become critically important from here.”The Blues, already without injured duo Tom De Koning and Blake Acres, suffered a blow before the opening bounce when key forward Harry McKay withdrew with illness.
Curnow kicked three goals in the first half as he threatened to break the game open but, like many of his team-mates, his influenced waned in the second half. Ken Hinkley’s charges were almost left to rue a failure to seize their opportunity but fought back in style and held Carlton to just one goal in the second half.
