Game Review
Carlton had a resounding victory over Melbourne, who were placed 5th on the ladder.
You may have noticed that the Round orders in this year appear to be slightly out of order - in fact, Carlton's next game after this Round 8 game was the Round 6 game! Please click here to find out why.
At the end of this round Carlton were in 4th spot on the ladder with a percentage of 141.0.
Footnote
Field umpire Scott held up play for quite sometime in the first quarter while having his ankle strapped by the trainers.
