There’s been an eruption in activity here.
Matt Carroll flew over the pack for a strong mark in front of goal and converts, but three straight for the Blues ends when Mitch McGovern’s mis-kick at half-back is pounced upon by the Saints, leading to a Mitch Owens mark and goal from about 25m out.
That was a momentum killer.

But McGovern makes amends minutes later with a fine left-foot snap from about 45m, the Blues’ lead extending to two goals. Just goes to show how important the mantra “next play” is.
The Blues have 4.1 from six inside-50s this term.
