May 29, 2016 3:45 PM
TWO MEN down before half-time, including inspirational skipper Marc Murphy, Carlton has caused a massive upset, defeating Geelong by 19 points at Etihad Stadium on Sunday. The Blues won their fifth game for the season, 16.8 (104) to 12.13 (85), beating the Cats for the first time in 15 attempts at the Docklands venue.
With midfielder Liam Sumner also sidelined due to injury from quarter-time, the Blues embarrassed Geelong by running and tackling harder, answering every challenge despite having just two players on the bench for the vast majority of the game.
The Blues' pressure was outstanding, forcing a fumbling Geelong into mistakes and uncharacteristic turnovers and then using superior speed to capitalise on the scoreboard.
