AN IMPORTANT interstate trip in the books. 

On episode two of The Rundown podcast, Dayna Finn and Maddy Hendrie discuss the practice match against the Crows that officially drew their pre-season to a close. 

A weekend trip to South Australia not only provided team-bonding experiences but saw Carlton face an experienced Adelaide outfit to put their hard work to the test.

While it wasn't the result the Blues wanted, they found out a lot about their mindset, their game structure and their ability to switch things up mid-game.
