What a game of football, what a win for the Carlton Football Club.
From a position of comfort to the most tense, nervy last quarter you could imagine, Blues fans have gone through just about every available emotion tonight. But despite everything the Swans threw at them, the Blues have emerged victorious and will live to fight another day. Sydney will rue a slow start and inaccuracy in front of goal, but Carlton stood up in some big moments tonight. Big individual efforts from players like Blake Acres, Jack Martin and Tom De Koning saw them home, while Jacob Weitering, Sam Walsh and Adam Cerra were all fantastic.
