Description: | Many Carlton supporters who went to Princes Park this day thought they would see Bruce Doull's 300th game for the Blues, but they were misled. This was in fact Bruce's 297th match, due to a change to how games were recorded in the VFL records. Originally, when interstate games were held at the same time as home & away matches, players selected for their states were credited with a home & away game. Because this was changed and representative games were recorded separately, Doull's actual 300th game occurred in ((Round 19, 1983|round 19, 1983 against St Kilda)) - a 100-point win that was a more fitting result for the great man.
