Carlton can start ‘dreaming’ after big guys star in ’10 mins of crazy’; GWS sweat on Toby’s latest hit— 3-2-1
Carlton may begin “dreaming” of September success, according to Fox Footy’s David King, after delivering GWS their first loss of the season in magnificent circumstances at Marvel Stadium on Saturday.
With big timber Harry McKay (three goals) and Charlie Curnow (three goals) “catching fire” in a third-quarter blitz, Carlton produced a remarkable comeback to win 17.15 (117) to 15.8 (98).
“I think you can start dreaming if you’re a Carlton supporter,” he remarked.
“This is a serious outfit now.”
The only negative aspect of Carlton’s triumph was Zac Williams’ injury, which involved a blow to his ailing achilles.
The Giants not only lose, but their captain, Toby Greene, is in hot water after a heavy bump late in the game.
In the final period, Greene chose to leave the field and make contact with Jordan Boyd, which raised concerns.
Fox Footy’s Anthony Hudson fears the action is similar to that of suspended Bomber Peter Wright, who received a four-game suspension earlier this season.
Quarter-by-Quarter Match Report
Final teams have been announced for today’s twilight battle at Marvel Stadium. There are no late alterations, and Jack Carroll (Carlton) and James Peatling (GWS) are the starting substitutes.
Peatling, GWS’s last-minute hero against St Kilda last week, came on as a substitute and continues to do so today.
The Blues and Giants are feeling each other out right now, since there hasn’t been a major in over five minutes.
Brent Daniels scored the first goal of the game with a nice set shot.
“When they win possession of the ball, they are gone,” Fox Footy’s David King remarked of GWS’ devastating counter-punch transition.
The Giants’ strong transition culminated in another goal, this time by Jesse Hogan.
Matthew Owies kicked Carlton’s first major off a set shot, and Matt Cottrell’s nifty left-footed snap added to the score.
