Blues turn Giant-killers as finals push gathers steam
Carlton moved to 5-0 under interim coach Josh Fraser as Sam Walsh and Patrick Cripps led a late surge that kept the Blues in finals contention.
- On Saturday, Carlton secured a 23-point victory over GWS at Engie Stadium, defeating the Giants 12.16 to 9.11 to extend interim coach Josh Fraser's winning streak to five consecutive games.
- Carlton's resurgence follows the departure of former coach Michael Voss after just one win from nine games, with players adopting a growth mindset focused on fundamental improvement rather than outcomes.
- Midfielder Sam Walsh chipped in 34 possessions and a goal, while skipper Patrick Cripps recorded 33 disposals and seven clearances. Forward Francis Evans added three goals in the Blues' dominant display.
- GWS coach Adam Kingsley expressed concern after back-to-back defeats dropped the Giants to 6-8, saying "If it keeps going for too much longer, that is going to wane a little."
- Carlton now sits alongside GWS and St Kilda at 6-8, with only percentage keeping the Blues out of the wildcard places as they pursue a top-eight spot.
