A huge game for Jack Steven with 39 possessions, Fisher 27, Dal Santo 26, and Riewoldt 25 with 13 marks and three goals. THIRTEEN marks. 10 marks for McEvoy, including a few telling defensive grabs, and laid 8 tackles, while Montagna laid 9. Goals: Riewoldt 3, Milne and Saad 2, singles to Armitage, Milera, Siposs, Roberton. Not so impressive for the Blues. 27 possessions to Judd, 25 to Armfield, who was electrifying at times. 10 marks to Henderson, who dragged them back into the game with three goals. 8 tackles to Robinson, who tried hard in midfield. Goals: Henderson 3, Garlett 2, Hampson, Walker, Simpson, McLean
13 May 2013Saints won the possession count 388 - 305, and contested possessions 147 - 134, tackles 81 - 61. Carlton won the clearances 44 - 33, and inside-50s 51-41, and dominated the hitouts 55-29, but couldn't make them count. St Kilda defensively just took marks and cleared, and there wasn't much Carlton's forwards could do with that delivery. 11.11 to 9.14, so Carlton actually had one more scoring shot. If they'd converted a bit better, they could have won despite all the factors that were against them.
