AFL Round 15 Carlton vs Geelong live updates — blog, scores and ...

Carlton skipper Patrick Cripps is mighty impressed by what he's seeing from his side these days.

"It's been a work in progress," Cripps tells Fox Footy of the Blues culture shift.

"As you know, culture takes time and we feel like when you value the right stuff and you work hard, you build good energy at the club and that translates out on the field.

"We enjoy the hard stuff, but we also enjoy the little things as well.

"You're only smiling when you value the hard stuff first, and that's what we're doing."

The numbers show just how much of a massacre this was tonight.

Just take a look at these major stat categories that ended up in Carlton's favour.

Here are your top three players in terms of ball-winners tonight:

Carlton has sent a massive statement to the rest of the competition with that win.

"It was a demolition," says Jack Riewoldt on Fox Footy.

"They have played one of the best games of football we have seen from anyone. They have certainly put another notch in their belt."

"One of the most comprehensive and impressive performances of the year, there's no question about that," Garry Lyon adds.

"The Carlton Football Club has arrived in a big, big way. It was complete."

A man who can't be happy to see Carlton thriving, Collingwood legend Nathan Buckley, can't help but be impressed either.

"We spoke about them pre-game, about how many weapons they have, but they're so consistent across the board at the same time," he says.

"They had 12 goal-kickers across the night. They dominated for all but 15-20 minutes in that third quarter."

Carlton big man Tom De Koning says he was completely surprised when he saw his brother Sam in at the centre bounce.

"Wasn't expecting him to be in the ruck, but it was a pleasant surprise," he tells Seven.

"That's why I had a bit of a laughing moment in there, I thought, 'This'll be great'.

"It was a good battle and hopefully we can have a few more."

De Koning finishes as the top rated player on the ground after picking up 25 disposals, 34 hitouts, seven clearances and 408 metres gained.

An absolute masterpiece from the Blues ruckman.

This Carlton team is legit folks. There is no other way to say it.

Geelong has belted the Blues for what seems like two decades, but this is Carlton flexing its muscles.

It ends up with a comprehensive 63-point win at the MCG and the Navy Blues are UP AND ABOUT.

That is as impressive a win as Carlton has had for maybe an entire decade.

Charlie Curnow has done it again at ground level! 

The two-time Coleman Medal winner has five goals tonight, and three of them have come at ground level.

"Good luck stopping him. You might stop him in the air, but he'll get you at ground level," Matthew Richardson says on commentary.

Not a good sign here if you're a Geelong fan.

The cameras show Tom Hawkins sitting on the bench in a jumper and he's got a crutch between his legs, presumably for that foot injury.

This is Carlton's highest score against Geelong since the 1995 Grand Final. It's been a generational belting at the MCG.

It doesn't take long for the Blues to hit back!

Sam Walsh is Carlton's TWELVTH different goal-kicker as he rams one home on the run.

The Blues have kicked 20 goals tonight, it's been a complete performance from Michael Voss's men.

"He's a machine. An absolute pro," says Matthew Richardson.

Tyson Stengle with some magic at the MCG!

This is a brilliant finish from the Geelong goalsneak, who bananas one through under immense pressure.

He would've liked to have made an impact on this one a little earlier.

Nic Newman joins in on the party!

A brilliant set shot from the left-footer and he salutes this crowd of over 75,000 fans in at the MCG.

This is a major statement win coming up for the Carlton Football Club.

They've absolutely towelled up a fellow finals contender, and it's not really been close all evening.

Charlie Curnow is just SO, SO good at ground level for a guy his size!

That's his second goal of the night that comes virtually playing the role of a crumber.

He kicks his fourth goal of the night to restore Carlton's 50-point lead.

Ollie Hollands becomes Carlton's 10th different goalkicker!

This is far too easy, a lack of pressure from Geelong in their defensive 50 allows Hollands to straighten onto his right boot on the run.

Cincotta with the goal assist, what a night he's had!

Gryan Miers joins in on the party after snapping one through on his right boot.

There's muted celebrations from Geelong, you get the sense that they don't quite believe a comeback is possible.

Carlton's lead at 38 points with just under 10 minutes left.

Gryan Miers, this is one of the best field kicks of the night.

Miers in the middle of the ground actually slips as he kicks it and somehow lands it between three Carlton defenders to find a leading Cameron.

Jezza goes back and kicks his third of the night, a decent outing given the lack of service he's gotten.

The air has gone out of this one now with just 10 minutes left on the clock, surely not enough time for the Cats.

Lachlan Cowan is MOBBED!

The young defender slams one through on the run, his first ever AFL goal, and every single one of his teammates comes over for the celebration.

Carlton's lead is out to a game-high 50 points. They've completely overwhelmed Geelong in the final quarter.

They've done this three weeks in a row now, the Blues!

Against both Port Adelaide and Essendon, Carlton was challenged at the end of the third quarter and came out punching in the fourth.

Once again, Geelong threw down the challenge, and Carlton has responded by kicking three goals in the first six minutes of the fourth term to kill off the comeback attempt.

So impressive tonight!

This Harry McKay is just STREETS ahead of last year's version.

McKay takes a mark in the pocket and goes back and drills the regulation set shot instead of going for the snap as he did in previous years.

"He's settled his mind down, hasn't he?" Matthew Richardson says on commentary.

"He's just more calm in his mind and he's making the right decision."

Just like that, the Blues look like they've snuffed out this Geelong comeback attempt.

That's a huge call from the umpire in the context of this one.

Matthew Kennedy takes a mark on the wing and he's crashed into by Max Holmes who is a second late on the spoil attempt.

No mercy from the umpire, as he calls for a 50m penalty, and Kennedy kicks the goal.

Carlton back out to a 33-point lead.

Here we go! One quarter to go at the MCG.

All the big names in the middle. Chris Scott has sent Tom Stewart forward, interesting move.
