Game Review

Alex Jesaulenko scored 8 goals in this final, while Ted Hopkins showed half of what he would do in the grand final after coming off the bench in the second half.

The Blues got out to an 11 point lead early in the last through a goal to Crosswell. Collingwod then dominated for 10 minutes putting on three goals, receiving a couple of free kicks in front of goal, and McKenna missing a few shots on goal. Alex Jesaulenko kicked Carlton's last two goals. One from some very clever play assisted by Ted Hopkins and one from a free kick.

Syd Jackson was let off with a reprimand after claiming his strike was a reaction to a racial slur. Syd later admitted that there had been no such slur. Collingwood have never forgotten nor forgiven this incident.
