Carlton erupted with a seven-goal third term en route to a 61-point win over Richmond, 20.11 (131) to 10.10 (70), and major flex from Michael Voss’ side to improve to six points clear inside the top two.
After what’d been a tight first half at the MCG, the Blues exploded in that third term with seven unanswered majors to virtually put the game out of reach — a period the Tigers subbed out Dustin Martin with a lower back issue.
Patrick Cripps (40 possessions, one goal) and Sam Walsh (26 disposals, 10 tackles, two goals) dominated from the midfield, while it impressively came despite Tom De Koning (managed) being a late out and quiet showings from Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay (two goals each).
