Irish player Tuohy kicks 'sensational goal' but Carlton fall to heavy AFL defeat in Perth

Carlton crashed to a 131-62 loss against the West Coast Eagles.

LAOIS MAN ZACH Tuohy grabbed another goal in the AFL this morning but it couldn’t stop his side falling to a heavy defeat against the West Coast Eagles in Perth.

After last week’s 105-78 loss to Richmond Tigers, Carlton were aiming to bounce back but instead they were convincingly defeated 131-62.

Former Carlton player Josh Kennedy kicked 10 goals for the Eagles as they cruised to victory.

Carlton had started brightly with Tuohy catching the eye with his goal, his second in as many games.

Carlton had been in front 37-25 after the opening quarter but trailed 50-37 at the midway mark. Tuohy had been one of their leading players in that period.

But Carlton collapsed in the second-half as the West Coast Eagles took over. Defeat will put further pressure on Carlton coach Mick Malthouse and it’s Essendon next up in Round 3 on 18 April as they seek an opening league win.

Another Irish player is set to make his Aussie Rules debut for Carlton this year

    The lad has a bigger carbon footprint than some whole nations, and he’s goes around virtue signalling, like he’s the new Messiah…

    @Seagoat returns: Why is it irrelevant, because you don’t watch it?

    @Mark: because it is incredibly unrelatable and elitist. It is not relevant as a sport for most, is it even technically a sport

    @Seagoat returns: it’s a motorsport , so yes , hardly irrelevant but as a fan of the sport I see a dim future for the sport in the decades ahead, Honda pulling out of the sport and this story finally making it to the media even thou f1 fans have know about this for a while and its frustrating to see people make these kind of decisions when as Hamilton already said we have enough tracks in the world, they can always be modified to suit as years go by
