AFL Round 18: Scores, Results, Odds, Squads, and Start Time at Marvel Stadium, Melbourne
Carlton struggles with ball control and skill level in a disappointing match. Tom De Koning's impact is minimal, while McGovern brings some energy when moved forward. Lions show precision in scoring, leading by 52 points. The game could end in a 10-12 goal win for the Lions.

Carlton’s struggle to kick the ball in the front half is difficult to watch. The skill gap between the teams is evident, especially in the poor kicking inside 50 by Carlton. The goal kicking was frustrating, much like Tom De Koning's lack of impact on the game.
Playing forward with Pittonet in the ruck, De Koning failed to make a difference as a target forward. Charlie Curnow attempted to provide an outlet up the field, but De Koning was ineffective as a target. Midway through the term, McGovern was shifted from defence to forward to inject some energy.
Illustrating the contrast between the teams were missed set shots by Moir and Lachie Fogarty for the Blues. Meanwhile, the Lions executed a precise end-to-end play, resulting in a beautiful goal by Cam Rayner. The Lions led by 52 points, and their tendency to play fancy might prevent a 10-12 goal win.
