Dockers now 'genuine contenders'; the 'devastating' blow that cost Carlton: 3-2-1.

“I think just in terms of the system and the way they play, we know Carlton have been a really good stoppage team this year. “Been an incredible game from the skipper. trying to get more out of his team,” North Melbourne great Wayne Carey said. Cerra was able to be part of the chain that ended with Matt Owies kicking the first of the match. They haven’t played any of the top teams yet. “The young stars are now standing up for this football club. Twice Lachie Schultz took uncontested marks inside forward 50 and made the Blues pay. You can only beat who is put in front of you and that’s what they’ve done,” Carey said. Carlton are also sweating on Harry McKay’s fitness after he spent time off the ground with a knee injury. Who have they played? Without Pittonet in the middle, Fremantle started to dominate through the middle and kicked six goals to two in the second term. Pittonet had to be assisted from the field after a ruck contest with Sean Darcy, and was subbed out of the game a short time later.

The Blues managed only one goal in the third term of their past three games, so this was a slight improvement with both majors coming from captain Cripps, but with a 32-point deficit, the game was basically lost. Carlton's poor third terms have plagued them all season and the issue reared its head again, the Blues managing only 2.2 against Fremantle’s 4.3 in the premiership quarter, after trailing by 19 points at the long break. Carlton won the disposal count (380-357) but lost the inside 50s (56-38). Minutes later, Sonny produced a trademark moment with a wonderful dribbling finish. The 31-year-old former All-Australian has been down on his usual output in 2022, having kicked 2.6 coming into this game. Fremantle led by five goals after two more from Lobb early in the third quarter, while Cripps kept them alive with two of his own.

Despite having more of the footy (380-357), the Blues failed to get it inside 50 with a 56-38 deficit. On return from his one-week hamstring injury, Carlton skipper Patrick Cripps was the shining light for the Blues with 32 disposals on top of his three goals and found assistance through the ever-reliable Sam Walsh (36 disposals, four tackles) and Adam Cerra (32 disposals, five tackles) on his return to Perth. Brennan Cox was influential in collecting 17 disposals and 12 marks alongside Luke Ryan (23 disposals, 10 marks), while the forwards for the Dockers were potent with Lachie Schultz (three goals, 16 disposals, 11 marks) Rory Lobb (three goals, 11 marks) and Sam Switkowski (two goals,19 disposals) all having their best games of the year.

Cripps, in his return from a hamstring injury, finished the match with 32 disposals and three goals. But it wasn't enough for the Blues.

“You saw the effect that Marcus had on the game last week as a forward. But they didn’t manage another until Josh Kennedy’s snap three minutes into the final term. “But we always believe that we can win week to week regardless, and today was one of those days but Adelaide were just that fraction too good in the end.” “But that’s going to remain a challenge week to week, the mix for him, for us, based on how significantly our forward line is changing and what we need to establish to win games.” “I still felt that as the game wore on he really tried to will us into a winning position and was influential in his involvements. “But (given) the way we started the year with our list in a pretty healthy state, we haven’t got a lot of players to call on at the moment, the next tier are not quite ready. “So we’ve got to continue to nurture and develop the boys who are in the side until we get one or two back who might be candidates to come into the team and help a little bit. “The sticking together pleased me most because we have been in a pretty challenging spot for a good period of time,” Hinkley said. “But we can’t sit here every week and say ‘oh we have had a tough run’. So we have got to own it. Gray, in his third game this season after knee and COVID-19 related issues, limped off in the third quarter with a jarred knee. And when he nailed a long-range bomb in the final term, the Blues had a chance of snatching victory. Carlton twice closed to within 21 points in the final quarter, but the Dockers ended the match with a bang to seal the 14.13 (97) to 9.8 (62) victory.
