Game Review
Blues preliminary final bound after epic win
Carlton has secured a preliminary final berth in the most dramatic of circumstances, kicking the go-ahead goal with a minute remaining to built Melbourne by two points. - By Cristian Filippo, Carlton MediaWhat just happened? Carlton has secured a preliminary final berth in the most dramatic of circumstances, kicking the go-ahead goal with a minute remaining to beat Melbourne by two points. For the second week running, Blake Acres was the match-winning hero, while Sam Walsh was again brilliant with 34 disposals and two goals. The Blues will now head to the Gabba next weekend for their first preliminary final since 2000.
Quarter one
If it looks like a final and smells like a final, it probably is a final — that was very much the case from the moment the ball was bounced in the first semi final. Both teams attacked the contest with reckless abandon, which came as no surprise: Melbourne entered the game No.1 for contested possessions, with Carlton ranked third. Just as was the case the last time these sides played, it was a game which was dictated by swings of momentum, but unlike Round 22, it was the Dees who were on top. The home side recorded the first three goals with Carlton only mustering a few half chances, with Melbourne finding free targets on the counter attack. It wasn’t through a lack of effort for the Blues, who were putting their bodies on the line on every occasion, but they needed someone to settle things down. That came in the form of Tom De Koning, who juggled a mark and kicked truly from the left forward pocket to send the majority of the crowd into raptures: he wasn’t done, winning a free kick and converting from the opposite pocket moments later. It was the reward for effort the Blues needed, providing a shot of confidence as they went into the first change trailing by just nine points. Carlton’s ball-winners were at their physical best, with Adam Cerra, Sam Walsh (both nine disposals) and Patrick Cripps (seven disposals) all busy in the early going.
Quarter two
Carlton carried that momentum into the second term, hitting Melbourne between the eyes with some brute force that has become the trademark of the team’s game. Overwhelming the opposition with their tackle pressure (24-9 for the quarter), the Blues came at the Dees in waves, surging the ball forward and gaining more and more forward territory. Starting his first final after spending the majority of last weekend as sub, Jesse Motlop provided a moment of class, playing on after a mark inside 50 and slotting a banana from the pocket to continue the Blues’ run. Included for his first game since Round 17, Matthew Kennedy didn’t spend a moment playing in the midfield, instead tasked with manning Jake Lever. While Lever still had an influence in the air, Kennedy’s work at ground level was crucial as the Blues took the lead for the first time, assisting great mate Walsh for a goal: the Carlton co-vice captain was everywhere in the first half, adding that goal to 19 disposals and six tackles. Charlie Curnow soon gave the Blues their fifth consecutive goal, but Melbourne managed to stem the tide through Joel Smith: from there, Carlton’s backs were to the wall, but managed to hold on amidst a Melbourne barrage. Jacob Weitering was again supreme behind the ball (eight intercept possessions to half time), while Nic Newman replicated his last performance against Melbourne with 18 first-half possessions (11 in the second term).
Quarter three
It was a welcome sight for the Blues when Sam Docherty ran out ready for action after the half-time break, having come from the ground late in the second term with a shoulder injury. The quarter got off to the best possible start from a Carlton perspective, with Cripps finding Kennedy for the opening goal inside the first two minutes. As had been the trend of the game, a number of Blues needed to go on countless occasions, with the likes of Weitering, Mitch McGovern and Alex Cincotta dropping into the hole and putting their bodies on the line. The seas parted for Blake Acres to mark and goal at the same end as last week’s sealer, but from that point on, it was all Melbourne. Skill errors plagued both sides going forward, with the Blues seeing a number of chances go begging as the all-important next goal was elusive for both sides. Despite the best efforts of Carlton’s defensive group, Melbourne started to get on top, with goals to Bailey Fritsch and Kysaiah Pickett seeing the Dees take back the lead. It was a see-sawing affair, but the second half of the third term belonged to the red and blue, but missed chances and a strong defensive showing from the Blues keeping the deficit to one straight kick at the final change.
Quarter four
The last time these sides played, the Blues kicked a goal inside the opening minute to get the last quarter on their terms. This was no different, with the brilliant Walsh goaling on the run to round out a brilliant all-round performance. Minutes later, Kennedy found Owies who put the Blues in front once again — but nobody in their right mind at the MCG thought that was going to be it. True to form, the Dees rallied, hitting the front and keeping the game locked in their forward half as the Blues were rarely without respite. In a marathon quarter, hope looked to be fading for the Blues, but after a strong tackle from Charlie Curnow, Motlop kicked his second goal from the same pocket to get his team back within a kick. The game was well and truly on edge for the second week in a row, as Melbourne hit the post twice in a matter of minutes - as well as being thwarted by a rushed behind - to give the Blues a sniff. That’s all they needed, when Blake Acres - for the second week running - surged forward to mark and goal. One minute later, the siren blasted with the Blues two points ahead, creating pandemonium aplenty for the 96,412 in the stands as Carlton locked in its first preliminary final since 2000.
Best: S. Walsh, N. Newman, B. Acres, P. Cripps, J. Weitering, A. Saad.
Voss' reaction after semi final stunner
Michael Voss sums up the amazing semi final win over Melbourne. - By Carlton Media.How do you even begin to describe that? Carlton AFL Senior Coach Michael Voss tried. His team were - for all intents and purposes - down and out against Melbourne, before a Blake Acres goal with a minute remaining sealed one of the most famous Navy Blue victories. It saw the Blues lock in a preliminary final (for the first time since 2000) next week against Brisbane at the Gabba, a team and a venue that Voss knows all too well. But, for now, it was about savouring the moment of a stunning semi final win: this is what Voss had to say.
On the emotions post-match:
"I’m better now! The atmosphere in the change rooms was quite incredible. To see the journey we’ve been on to get to this point in time, you see the smiles on peoples’ faces and how excited everyone is. I think we’re all in a bit of disbelief about how it all unfolded, but that was just a cracking game of footy. "It was full of errors and mistakes, but we somehow found a way through some will, grit and courage. We were able to hit the scoreboard in the end, and I suppose that’s what matters — being in front at the end!"
On the heart of the playing group:
"There’ll be a time where we sit back at the end of the year and reflect on all sorts of things. What I will say is without it, we wouldn’t be here. Through that period of time, there were some harsh lessons, some needed lessons to work out what was important to us. We tried to stay true to that, stay present to that and tried to enjoy that little bit of the journey along the way. "They were pretty determined despite what was going on around on the outside: we kept our eyes in and firmly focused on Melbourne. They finished the game last week and would’ve been unhappy with the way they played, and they’re a competitive bunch, resilient and tough in their own right. We knew what we were up against. Melbourne threw a pretty handy punch at the start, their pressure was off the charts early. "To win finals, you have to absorb: we didn’t have our turn then, we had to wait our turn. We were able to counterpunch a couple of times, but we found a way at the end. Somehow we ended up finding a way to win, but that momentum was not with us in the last seven or eight minutes in that game."
On Sam Docherty returning to the field:
"Incredible. It doesn’t surprise me with him though. I spoke to him at half time and said ‘what have you got’: he said ‘I’ll give you everything I have got’. It seemed like it pulled up not too bad, we wouldn’t put him out there if he was under too much risk. He was able to strap it up and get back out there and play. It certainly wouldn’t feel right if we were forging ahead without him. I’m sure he’ll get to work pretty hard on what that shoulder is and get himself right for next week."
On Blake Acres' impact:
"He’s been big for us. He’s added to our defensive integrity. We were specifically looking about what we needed to add to our group last year. We felt like we needed a real power runner on the outside, and he values defence first. Coincidentally, it was the two goals he’s kicked that have helped us. He’s been an incredible addition to our team and he brings a new level of energy. The boys love playing with him."
On another brilliant Sam Walsh finals performance:
"He was brilliant. He was involved in all of those little moments. It’s amazing how good players just found themselves in those moments. There’s been a lot of players that have been waiting and biding their time. It’s taken some time to get to here. "To be able to walk into a prelim is pretty incredible to get there based on where we were, the climb we’ve had to have this year let alone last year. We’ll absorb it for now. We’ll have a couple of days rest and somehow turn ourselves back into next week."
On relishing the win:
"We’ve done that really well. Learning to enjoy your wins is critical, that win was one of the biggest you can be part of — that’s one of the biggest I’ve been part of. To be able to be part of that, you have to enjoy that moment. If that involves a little bit of emotion, if that involves a little bit of joy, take it. Have a couple of days over the weekend to absorb that, and come in on Monday ready to roll up the sleeves and focus in on Brisbane."
On Harry McKay and Jack Martin's availability:
"They will both be available. I haven’t thought that far ahead to be honest with you! "We made it hard for ourselves in that game at times. Contest and defence was probably keeping us in it, but some of our ball movement needs some work. When we were going forward, we weren’t connecting enough. It felt like we were playing the right way enough, but the skills errors were there and we lacked a bit of connection, maybe some predictability with ball in hand. "We’ll have to look at that pretty hard: clearly having ‘H’ up there with Charlie helps us a lot, it alleviates some of the things he has to do having a mate down there that can help him out. What I can guarantee is if Harry is available, he’ll be playing."
On finding a way to win:
"We always take method, but - I don’t normally say this - we take great confidence out of the result we got today. It was unorthodox at times, but we were able to find our way to win. That says a great deal about courage and resilience of this football team, maybe some of the lessons which we’ve learnt over time. "We’re putting that all to work, they’re sticking together and staying really connected as a footy team and staying as present as they possibly can. I feel like I’m boring when I talk about those sort of things, but it’s working. I don’t think we need to change it."
On the last time Carlton and Brisbane met:
"It doesn't hold much relevance at all. If you look at the way Brisbane play now, there are points of difference, and for sure there are points of difference with us. There’s a cohesive unit there. It’s just a different unit . . . it’s not going to pay much relevance to us. Our job is making sure we get us right: we’re confident that if we do that, there’s enough in us. There’s enough in that room to get the job done."
On Tom De Koning's showing:
"He’s been good, Tom. The combination with ‘Pitto’ and Tom has been really important. It’s evolved over the course of the year. Getting that balance of Tom up forward compared to into the ruck, it’s been a continual work for us. They link well together, they complement each other in their strengths."Having a big guy that can go forward to provide an aerial threat, which is what we needed tonight, Tom’s been able to do that. To get a couple of goals out of your ruck is a real advantage to us as a team. There’s a lot left in it, a lot of improvement left in it, but the energy he’s bringing and the relationship he’s forging with ‘Pitto’ has come a long way."
On how he'll feel returning to the Gabba:
"I don’t know! It should be exciting. Without doubt, the person that’s going is a Carlton person."
Dee-saster: Battered Blues steal epic final as Melbourne make unwanted AFL history - Catherine Healey from Fox Sports.
Carlton have stolen one of the most memorable semi-final wins in history, with Blake Acres the hero of the two-point victory over Melbourne on Friday night. In a final quarter arm-wrestle, Demons skipper Max Gawn, Kysaiah Pickett and Bayley Fritsch all blew chances late before Acres popped up to nail the match-winner in the final minute in front of more than 96,400 fans at the MCG. The victory ensures Carlton are through to their first preliminary final since 2000 and now head to the Gabba to take on Brisbane. They had headed into the final term trailing by six points, but refused to die wondering as they wrestled back control for the 11.7 (73) to 9.17 (71) win. For Melbourne, it’s heartbreak as they make unwanted history as the first side in the current finals system to bow out straight sets losers in consecutive seasons. The Dees only have themselves to blame with their inaccuracy costing them dearly as their 2023 season came to an abrupt end. The club will also sweat on the match review with star Kysaiah Pickett becoming “public enemy number one” for his big bump that left Blues skipper Patrick Cripps bloodied.
Quarter 1
There were no late changes for either side, with Josh Schache (Melbourne) and Ollie Hollands (Carlton) named the starting subs.Fox Footy’s Garry Lyon described the Schache sub call over Brodie Grundy as “curious”, considering Schache has only played two AFL games this season. Asked why Schache might’ve been named the Demons’ sub, four-time premiership Hawk Jordan Lewis said: “Versatility I think. The only injury cloud coming into this game was Max Gawn and his toe, so if anything happens in the game with him maybe Schache is that one. We know Grundy is on the outer … but it might provide more structure and height down forward.” It was Charlie Curnow with a big grab over the top of Jake Lever who had the first shot on goal. But his effort from the arc sailed just wide. Melbourne moved the ball with speed and locked it in their front half. When Kysaiah Pickett was taken high, Ed Langdon took advantage to snap the goal from the square for the first of the night. Blake Acres came off worse for wear after a collision with Demon Christian Salem. Blues skipper Patrick Cripps came in to throw his weight around as tempers threatened to spill over. The bad blood continued down the other end of the ground when Joel Smith marked inside 50 - but the kick was reversed when Pickett took Mitch McGovern high in a push and shove. “It’s just silly - you don’t need to do it!” commentator Luke Hodge said. With Lever dominating for Melbourne in defence, it was Joel Smith down the other end who did his dad proud, winning the high contact free kick and converting. Christian Petracca showed his brilliance in the pocket after being called to go, as he nailed the goal from a tight angle. Melbourne were doing all the attacking in the first term as the Blues just couldn’t clear from their back half. But once Cripps found space on the wing and went quickly, he found the height mismatch between Tom de Koning and Jake Bowey - and the Blues big man did the rest on the scoreboard. When de Koning copped a shove from Adam Tomlinson from the very next clearance, he added a second goal in the space of 90 seconds. At the first change, Melbourne had a 21-14 lead.
Quarter 2
Kade Chandler had a big opportunity early in the second as he streamed towards goal and opted to take the shot on himself - but missed. “You’ve just to make the right decision in those situations. I think if you’re running straight at goal, you have a shot,” commentator Matthew Richardson said. A big moment came when Blues skipper Cripps was forced from the field after a big bump from Pickett. “There’s contact - he’s opted to bump,” Hodge said. “I know it’s his head but Cripps has gone off with the blood rule from the head to the back of the nose. They’ll look at that and say as soon as you opt to bump and you get him high, they will definitely look at it.” “It’s just fraught with danger - you’re better off tackling. That should be your first thought now,” Richardson added. “You’re taking a big risk.” Cripps was bleeding from the nose as he made his way to the bench, but luckily for Carlton he was able to return to the contest a short time later. Pickett has already served a two-match ban for a big bump laid on Bulldog Bailey Smith earlier this year. When Sam Walsh and Charlie Curnow kicked back-to-back goals, the Blues were up by 14 points. Smith took his third mark inside 50 and goaled for Melbourne while a score review was all that stopped Alex Neal-Bullen reducing the margin to just two points. The Blues lost inspirational leader Sam Docherty late in the second term with his shoulder clearly dislocated as he sunk to the MCG turf. And Jacob Weitering was hobbled right on half time after getting his foot stuck in a marking contest in worrying signs. At half time, Carlton held a two-point lead, 33-31.
Quarter 3
Heavily booed by Blues fans, Pickett was once again in the thick of the action early in the third, with his set shot missing before appearing to collect McGovern high for the second time on the night. “Public enemy number one tonight with the Blues fans,” Richardson said of Pickett. Smith brought the Dees back to within a point with his third goal, but down the other end Blake Acres had the answer after Docherty - who returned with his shoulder heavily strapped - sent the ball inside 50. Both sides butchered entries forward late in the term as the pressure ramped up. When Bayley Fritsch was allowed out the back, he nailed his quick snap to again close his side to within a point. And the man of the moment, Kysaiah Pickett, put his side in front for the first time since early in the first term with a brilliant snap out of the congestion. “You give him a centimetre and that’s what he can produce,” Hodge said. Demons skipper Max Gawn had a moment he’d like back when he missed from 20m out on a slight angle. By the final change, it was Melbourne leading 53-47.
Quarter 4
The Blues drew first blood in the final term through Sam Walsh to level scores, after just 66 seconds of play. Matt Owies then brought the Blues faithful to their feet with his set shot from 35m out as Carlton opened up a six-point lead. But again it was Pickett who had the answer for Melbourne to level scores, before his quick hands out to Fritsch ensured the margin pushed out to seven points. Only a Lachie Hunter touch on the goal line denied Curnow his second of the night. Max Gawn had the chance to almost put Carlton away when he crashed his snap into the post, while Fritsch also missed with his set shot. “You keep missing, you leave the door open,” commentator James Brayshaw said. A third intercept mark for the quarter to Steven May denied any Blues charge. It took the footy getting over the back of a big pack of players for Jesse Motlop to get on the board and close Carlton within three points with six minutes to play. Brodie Kemp had the chance to put the Blues in front, but ended up sending his running shot out on the full. “That was two panicked plays ... Kemp should have gone to the top of the goal square. Do the percentage plays,” Hodge lamented. Clayton Oliver came millimetres from securing the win for his side with his set shot dropping agonisingly short while Pickett hit the post moments later to extend Melbourne’s lead to five. When Weitering got a big intercept mark and the ball found Docherty on the wing, Acres got out the back and nailed the goal to give his side the lead with just 56 seconds to play. And it took some huge moments in the dying seconds for Carlton to hold on to their two-point win.
Five quick hits from Carlton's thrilling win over Melbourne as Sam Walsh erupts and Max Gawn makes a goal-line blunder
- By Dean Bilton (ABC Sport).Carlton are through to a preliminary final after victory over Melbourne in an exhilarating semifinal at the MCG. But the final result and two-point margin only tell half the story on a remarkable night. Here are five quick hits from the Blues' special night.
1. The winning play
If you're a Carlton fan, how many times are you watching this replay this week? Hundreds? Thousands? It took a combination of bravery, composure and skill for this match-winning play to unfold across the MCG, culminating in the Blake Acres goal that gave Carlton a semifinal victory. It started in the arms of Jacob Weitering, who intercepted the Jack Viney kick and immediately looked inboard. There was Oliver Hollands, the teenager brought on as sub only half an hour earlier. Hollands marked but wheeled onto his right boot in an instant. He had spotted Sam Docherty, but his kick gave Melbourne's Judd McVee a chance. McVee couldn't take it. Docherty held his nerve and the ball, and made the right decision to go as long as possible, where Acres got a bit of help from a Mitch McGovern decoy before marking and slamming through the goal. Perfection, from start to finish.
2. Sam Walsh, superstar
Rumour has it Sam Walsh was spotted running laps of Lygon Street three hours after the final siren at the MCG. This guy is an incredible footballer who has stepped up to the big stage of his first two finals and owned it. His performance on Friday night was nothing short of inspirational. There were some errors towards the end as fatigue started to have an influence, albeit slight, but for the most part Walsh was flawless. His running power is matched by his ability to win the ball and use it well. On this night, he stepped up with two critical goals including the first of the final quarter. If Brisbane are to stop Carlton next week, they'll have to stop Sam Walsh first.
3. What was Max thinking?
Was Melbourne's potential match-winner thwarted by their own captain? Clayton Oliver took a speculative shot on goal from 50 metres out on the boundary with only a couple of minutes on the clock. With the ball mid-flight, it suddenly looked an awful lot like a goal. Max Gawn had two Carlton opponents to thwart on the goal line and looked like he was doing a good job of holding them off. The goal umpire said he thought it was a behind, and they sent it upstairs to check. On replay, it was Gawn's hand that struck the ball and diverted it into the post. Had he left it alone, would it have gone through for a goal? Would Melbourne be in a preliminary final? Or would Carlton ruck Marc Pittonet have touched it instead, and nothing would have changed? We'll never know, but you can bet Gawn is asking himself those questions too.
4. Docherty carries Blues on his dislocated shoulder
One of the most admired players in the league, and possibly the one guy you'd want on your team more than any other. Sam Docherty's shoulder popped out in the second quarter. We could all see it, as much as we wish we hadn't. It's fair to say most players don't keep playing after dislocating their shoulders, but Docherty wouldn't have even considered stepping out. He strapped himself up and went back out there in the second half, playing a critical role on a wing and setting up the winning goal. It's just another awe-inspiring tale in a career that contains more than most. He alone could inspire Carlton to great heights this September.
5. Kossie Pickett's crazy evening
What a night that was for Kysaiah Pickett. From brain snaps to brilliance and back again with every tick of the clock. Let's start with the bump on Patrick Cripps, which will now likely extend his preseason by a couple of weeks. It was the same cannonball motion we saw from him in round one on Bailey Smith — he got two weeks for that one, and can expect the same here. Pickett gave away two 50-metre penalties in the game, and cost the Demons another shot on goal when an off-the-ball free-kick handed possession back to Carlton with Joel Smith lining up the sticks. But in between that, he played some pretty special football. Pickett kicked two and set up a handful of others, dragging Melbourne's stuttering forward line along with him. His game is now a post-script in Carlton's night of nights, but he was very nearly the headline act again.
AFLCA votes: Walsh persists with perfect 10
Sam Walsh has polled a perfect 10 votes in the semi final against Melbourne. - By Rose Zarucky, Carlton MediaMade for finals.
On the back of a perfect 10 votes by the coaches, Sam Walsh has taken the lead in the AFL Coaches' Association's Gary Ayres Award. With the 22-year-old putting together a comprehensive finals performance for the second week in a row, Walsh was best on ground against Melbourne in the nail-biting two-point win. Picking up 34 disposals, eight tackles and contributing 43 pressure acts (the third highest of any player this year), Walsh also produced two goals to lift his side over the line in his pursuit of victory. Sam Walsh has polled a perfect 10 votes this week for the AFL Coaches Association Gary Ayres Award, with the 22-year-old putting together a comprehensive finals performance for the second week in a row.
It was a night where Carlton's leaders did exactly that, with captain Patrick Cripps and Walsh's fellow co-vice captain Jacob Weitering both receiving four votes for their roles in the game. The skipper managed 27 disposals, 16 contested possessions, nine clearances and seven score involvements on a night where he was the first to put his head over the ball and dish it out to teammates.
Carlton won the centre clearances 13-8 with Cripps leading the way, while Weitering was his usual self behind the ball. Taking some crucial marks in defence, Weitering had 10 intercept possessions as well as six rebound 50s, keeping calm under pressure – particularly in the third quarter when the Carlton defence was under siege. Nic Newman also continued his outstanding 2023 with a four-quarter performance, receiving two votes for his rampant pressure. On a night of high pressure, Newman held his nerve and found the ball in all areas of the ground, recording 30 disposals, 11 marks, nine intercept possessions and six rebound 50s: the experienced backman helped his team turn the tide of momentum against them.
