THE GWS Giants lead Carlton by 21 points in an entertaining first half at Spotless Stadium.

Carlton led early, but GWS took over midway through the first term thanks to a pair of classy goals from Dylan Shiel and a clinical finish from the impressive Devon Smith.

Scores were level at quarter time, but the Giants moved things up another gear in the second term and Jon Patton kicked the final two goals of the half to generate the handy buffer.

Patton is thriving in the absence of Jeremy Cameron and he has taken eight marks to go with his two goals.

After starting at the substitute player the past two matches, Stephen Coniglio is the leading possession winner for the Giants with 14 and Mitch Robinson has 17 disposals for Carlton.

Carlton received a blow before the game with captain Marc Murphy injuring a hamstring in the warm up and he was replaced in the side by Dennis Armfield.

Prime midfielder Kade Simpson has struggled to have any impact on the contest and finished the half with just three disposals.

Carlton is winning the clearances and the inside 50 count, but GWS has built its lead on crisp ball movement.

Meanwhile, St Kilda will try to win back respect against West Coast at Etihad Stadium before North Melbourne bids to consolidate its hold on a top-eight spot against Melbourne in the MCG twilight encounter.
