Game Review
Carlton's half-forward line dominated this match. Brent Crosswell was Best on Ground, Syd Jackson kicked six superb goals, and Robert Walls was a focal point all match at centre half-forward. The Blues won by ten goals, but it should have been more, because we coasted in the second half.
