After nabbing the first two points of the game, the Saints were shutout thereafter as Carlton proved too strong across the ground. The result, a 7.6 (48) to 0.2 (2) scoreline and mini revival of the Blues&#8217; season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-talking-points-1\">TALKING POINTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-new-equal-low-for-st-kilda\">A new (equal) low for St Kilda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Much was made of Carlton&#8217;s scoring woes coming into this bout, deemed somewhat of a danger game against the winless St Kilda, but it was the Saints who were comprehensively shut out in attack. Despite registering two minor scores within four minutes in the opening term, <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"64839\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/keeley-sherar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keeley Sherar<\/a>&#8216;s first senior goal set Carlton in motion and the Blues never looked back. It not only saw St Kilda suffer its sixth defeat of the season, but also equalled the competition&#8217;s lowest-ever total &#8211; 0.2 (2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gee-a-bit-of-speed-in-midfield-is-nice\">Gee, a bit of speed in midfield is nice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Carlton has been bereft of a spark in midfield this season, but seemed to get the balance right on Saturday. Complimenting the hardness and ball winning prowess of <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"30785\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/madison-prespakis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Madison Prespakis<\/a>, <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"31040\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/mimi-hill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mimi Hill<\/a> and the electric <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"29732\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/georgia-gee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Georgia Gee<\/a> satisfied the Blues&#8217; need for speed.

Finally, Carlton had a target deep in attack and with <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"86746\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/jess-good\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jess Good<\/a> doing her bit in the ruck, perhaps this is the combination to carry the Blues forward until they fill the void through draft and trade period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-four-quarter-effort-relieves-carlton-s-blues\">Four quarter effort relieves Carlton&#8217;s blues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is no secret that Carlton fans have been suffering of late, with their side competitive in patches across the last month, but ultimately overwhelmed when the whips begin to crack. Upon hitting their stride on Saturday, the Blues buried St Kilda in arguably their most complete performance for the year. Even when Carlton didn&#8217;t score &#8211; in term three &#8211; its defence held up and also kept St Kilda scoreless within the same period. It looked a much more balanced, settled Carlton side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-next-week-1\">NEXT WEEK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>St Kilda&#8217;s chance to bounce back comes quickly, with a fixture against Greater Western Sydney arriving on Wednesday.
