Carlton are facing a nervous wait on the fitness of key pair Tom De Koning and Sam Walsh after reclaiming second spot on the AFL ladder with a 19-point win over North Melbourne.
De Koning (foot) and Walsh (back) were both hurt in a bruising encounter as the Blues were made to fight all the way to secure an important 16.11 (107) to 14.4 (88) win at Marvel Stadium on Sunday.
