Game Review
Round 1 of the new season brought about a rematch of the 1986 Grand Final between Carlton and Hawthorn. On that day, the Hawks would convincingly defeat the Blues and Carlton set out to avenge their loss after a full pre-season.
It was not to be. In a remarkably similar game to the previous Grand Final, the Hawks would pump us with a 5 goal to 1 second quarter, and we couldn’t peg them back. We were down by 31 points at the main break, and despite a few threatening moments, the Hawks would kick 22 goals to win by 45 points.
The Dominator, Wayne Johnston, was known to remark to the press that Hawthorn had thrashed us playing as they had in the Grand Final, and that we hadn’t learned anything from the loss. Perhaps fair at the time, but the Blues would only lose 3 more matches all season and would ultimately take the Flag that year; our 15th.
Lack of discipline during the preseason did not help the Blues cause with key players missing through suspension. Ian Herman missed the first round through suspension, and Jon Doritich missing the first two rounds after being suspended for striking future team-mate Greg Williams.
Best for Carlton: Madden, Shine, Kernahan, Rohde, Glascott and Silvagni.
Carlton's main possession winners for this game were Peter Rohde with 23, Wayne Johnston with 21 and David Glascott with 22 touches.
