Game Review
Although Hawthorn put up stern resistance to Carlton throughout this match at Princes Park, their wayward kicking for goal let them down and the final margin was an accurate measure of the difference between the two teams. After this game, Carlton was 8 points clear of Footscray on top of the VFL ladder.
At the end of this round Carlton were in 1st spot on the ladder with a percentage of 126.3.
