McKay kicked two goals after an apparent head knock in his team’s win over North Melbourne, and the Blues now have a quick turnaround to their next match on Friday night.
Carlton coach Michael Voss has defended his club’s handling of Harry McKay after the key forward took a knock to the head late in the third term of Sunday’s win over North Melbourne.
“What I do know is that the protocol is there, and we were notified that we needed to get him off the ground, so we got him off the ground, and he went into those protocols,” Voss said.McKay said post-game that he was fine.“It was nice to get a 10-minute break and then come back on. I was fine,” McKay told Fox Footy.
The Blues face a dreaded five-day turnaround before their match against fellow finals contenders Port Adelaide at Marvel Stadium on Friday night. Blues superstar Charlie Curnow kicked three of his four goals in the third term after his side found themselves well beaten in the first half and trailing by 11 points.But in the second half the Blues lifted their pressure and their urgency, then they built momentum from a miskick by Roos defender Griffin Logue – in his first game of 2024 after turning from injury – turning it into a five-goal run into a 19-point victory.
The Roos threatened again in the last term, with Harry Sheezel’s second goal – added to a game-high 34 disposals – bringing them close, but the Blues pushed away with late goals from Saad and McKay making sure of the win.AFL Photos via Getty Images
