Game Review
Carlton had the difficult task of journeying to Adelaide to take on the Crows, who were outside the 8 on percentage and needed the win to remain in finals contention. They played like they needed to, scoring a comprehensive 53 point win over the Blues, who were never really in the match.Carlton had few winners but Brett Ratten had 24 possessions, while Craig Bradley and Ryan Houlihan each had 19. Matthew Lappin was the only multiple goal kicker.
With this loss, Carlton fell to 6th place.
