Game Review
Carlton's midfield runs deep
Heading into Friday night's match against Collingwood without young gun Sam Walsh and losing Adam Cerra halfway through the game, one could be forgiven for expecting the Blues to struggle at the contest against the Pies' midfield. But what played out couldn't have been further from that expectation with the Blues winning the clearances by 10 and the contested possession count by 33 in their 17-point win over the Pies. Granted, Cerra set the tone early, winning six clearances in the opening half, but the rest of the midfield rose to the occasion. Captain Patrick Cripps finished with seven clearances, substitute Paddy Dow five and Blake Acres four. At the contest, Nic Newman, George Hewett and Cripps combined for 31 contested possessions, an encouraging sign for the Blues as they eye off a first finals series since 2013. - Gemma Bastiani
