Game Review

Carlton's Paul Schmidt and North Melbourne's Sel Murray each kicked 7 goals in this high-scoring shootout at Princes Park. The Blues won by more than eight goals, but Murray's effort for the Shinboners was spectacular.

Frank Gill's 200th match. He now joins a select trio to have played 200 games for the Blues. The other two are Rod McGregor 239 games and Harry Vallence 204.

After this game, Carlton's percentage improved (117.9), but we still sat in third spot on the ladder.
