Game Review
The Blues 3rd straight win (all by convincing margins) signalled to the football world that the giant had perhaps awoken. Carlton showed complete superiority over a St Kilda team who had began to struggle after a bright beginning to the season.
Craig Davis made it 13 goals from 2 games whilst David Dickson picked up 31 possessions from his wing. Percy enjoyed a day out in the ruck and virtually all contributed to a most satisfactory victory.
