Game Review
Harry Vallence missed this match through injury, and the ever-threatening Tigers took full advantage of his absence, drawing away after quarter time to inflict Carlton's second loss of the season. Mickey Crisp was superb for the Blues, with 6 opportunist goals from a half-forward flank.
At the end of this round Carlton were in 1st spot on the ladder with a percentage of 119.5.
