Game Review

Jack Wrout was carrying a knee injury from last week's match. He was moved to full forward after half time.

After a great win over eventual Premiers Melbourne, this loss to the improved Saints pushed the Blues back into the ruck at 5-5.

At the end of this round Carlton were in 5th spot on the ladder with a percentage of 108.5.
