Match Report

Carlton underlined its premiership credentials with a thumping 91-point win over Brisbane on Easter Thursday. The young Lions were good early – taking a two-point lead into the first break – but the Blues powered away for the remainder of the game. Carlton kicked 18 goals to three after quarter time to completely deflate Michael Voss’s side, who were coming off a big win over Melbourne in round one. Blues skipper Chris Judd was simply brilliant, along with the reigning club champion Marc Murphy, finishing with 33 and 30 possessions respectively. Andrew Carrazzo combined a tagging role on Lions champion Simon Black with 31 disposals of his own. The Lions’ night was soured further when it was revealed that Black was likely to be sidelined for a month after breaking his hand. That means Black’s planned 300th game against Gold Coast in round four would have to be pushed back. Undoubtedly the highlights of the night were provided by Carlton livewire forward Eddie Betts. He brought down two stunning contenders for Mark of the Year, with fierce debate in the post-match analysis surrounding which grab was better.

COACHES COMMENTS
Michael Voss (Bris): We know we've been smashed. They were spectacular at times with some of the things they were doing. They were clinical with their ball movement and some of the individual brilliance they had.

Brett Ratten (Carl): History would say the best defensive team has the greatest success at the end of the year. We think that if we can defend first and then attack we'll get our reward. If we can make sure we can keep the opposition to the numbers we are chasing … we're going to be hard to beat.

Umpires: Stevic, Grun, Pannell
