Former Carlton captain Marc Murphy engineered his side's 33-point thrashing of Gold Coast to put them on the cusp of the AFL's top eight.Michael Gibbons and Harry McKay scored two goals each for CarltonMurphy was a standout for the Blues with a game-high 28 disposals in the 7.18 to 4.3 triumph on Friday night in Darwin.
The victory lifts Carlton to ninth on the ladder ahead of weekend games but they still have a large percentage gap to make up on eighth-placed Melbourne.Teammates Harry McKay and Michael Gibbons, with two goals each, were attacking threats while Jacob Weitering and Liam Jones marshalled a miserly backline.The Suns were playing their fourth match in 15 days — the Darwin fixture came after consecutive four-day breaks — and the gruelling schedule took its toll.
Their total was the club's third-lowest ever with Jack Lukosius and Jack Bowes their chief ball-winners. The Blues dominated the opening term without fully capitalising on the scoreboard, kicking 1.3 to 0.0. The goal came on the run from 40 metres from Gibbons while teammates Murphy and Cripps set the early tone early in the middle.
Imagine if they held a 'whites only round'.
Thrashing?🤔😂🤦♂️
33 is a thrashing
