The Wrap Up: Adelaide crush Carlton to end forgettable year on a high

Adelaide have ended their disappointing 2018 campaign on a high note, crushing Carlton by 104 points at Etihad Stadium tonight.

The Blues were annihilated from start-to-finish by a rampant Crows outfit as the embattled club were resigned to its worst season in 117 years.

Incredibly, Brendon Bolton’s side had seven more inside 50s but still lost by a three-figure margin.

Carlton’s paltry two wins is their lowest tally in a home-and-away season since 1901.

Here’s everything you need to know!

The Star: Josh Jenkins

Adelaide forward Josh Jenkins dined out against a hapless Carlton defence.

Jenkins ended the night with seven majors and 19 disposals to end his season a positive note.

The 29-year-old ended the year with a respectful haul of 46 goals.

Medical room: Curnow and Weitering suffer injuries

Carlton duo Charlie Curnow and Jacob Weitering were both casualties from the club’s mauling against the Crows.

Weitering was concussed after a heavy collision with teammate Sam Rowe and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest at three quarter time.

Curnow suffered a knee injury after landing awkwardly in a marking contest during the third term and also took no further part in the final term.

Jacob Weitering (concussion) Charlie Curnow (knee) and will take no further part in tonight's game.
