    North Melbourne led by 46 points at the last break and while Carlton kicked five unanswered goal in the final term, they were comfortably beaten 13.6 (84) to 10.13 (73) at the MCG.

    Leading by nine points at the first change, Carlton gave up 12 goals to three over the next two quarters as fans turned on Michael Voss’ side and boos rained down.

    Mark Howard added: “Radio talkback could get quite feisty on the way home I would’ve thought from the Blues fans if they can’t lift in this final term.

    “Tough day for Carlton fans.”

    Voss was seen berating his troops to “play their role”, the most simple of instructions, but it was all too little too late.

    The dismal day for Carlton was summarised when a young kid in a Blues jumper was seen bawling after a goal review was called a point for his side.

    “That is a summation of what’s happened to the Blues for that poor young fella,” Howard said.

    “Mum and dad have brought him to the footy today full of hope.”
