Game Review
Carlton would comfortably dispose of their lower ranked opponent, welcoming 2 new Blues at the same time.
This was our 15th win over Melbourne in a row, but our golden run over them would break in the next year or two.
At the end of this round Carlton were in 3rd spot on the ladder with a percentage of 132.8.
