Game Review
St Kilda's Charlie Taylor (a former Carlton player) was found not guilty of striking Ned Bowen. Ned Bowen was exonerationed on a charge of "retaliating" which begs the question, did he perhaps throw the first one and therefore was not retaliating? Well, that's what I would have argued if I was his advocate.
At the end of this round Carlton were in 3rd spot on the ladder with a percentage of 128.1.
