Overview

  • North Melbourne delivered an eight-goal burst across the second and third quarters to secure an 84-73 victory at the MCG.
  • Coach Michael Voss issued a fierce three-quarter time spray that inspired a late Blues rally but came too late to alter the result.
  • Carlton slumped to a 6-8 record and sits two games outside the top eight after failing to score from midway through the first quarter until early in the third.
  • Defender Jacob Weitering overcame an ankle scare to finish the match while key players Harry McKay and Sam Walsh remain sidelined for at least another month.
  • Carlton’s season now hinges on Thursday’s clash with Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval as they fight to keep finals hopes alive.
