Carlton Blues ends GWS's perfect record in the league

The Greater Western Sydney saw their 100 percent record in the 2024 AFl season come to an end following their defeat to the Carlton Blues on Saturday, April 20.

GSW had won all five of their matches, but the Gaints produced a resounding victory, which saw them win three of the four quarters. The Giants' perfect start to the season put them out as possible early-season contenders for the 2024 premiership. However, the loss showed some lapses in the team, which they would need to work.

Despite the loss, GSW is second in the AFL table after six round of games in the 2024 season. They have the same number of points as third-placed Carlton Blues (20) but have a superior points difference (57).
