Game Review

Watching the Sterling Cup night match between Carlton and Geelong, I couldnt help admiring the superb leadership shown by the Blues captain, Wayne Johnston. Johnston, an early casualty with a jarred ankle, returned to the field in the second quarter with Geelong well in control. Through his own endeavour, Johnston lifted his flagging team-mates to a slender one point victory at the final siren. In the slippery conditions, Johnston fed the ball out of packs, supported both the defence and forward zones and capped off a fine game with three gutsy goals.

Geelong's chances diminished when full foward Mark Jackson, resorted to giving away free kicks and thus squandered opportunites in the tense final term. How frustrating for the Cat's workmanlike defence to drive the ball foward only to see it repelled by undisciplined play. Jackson's antics are amusing but he has great abilities and a good football brain, so why spoil it all by resorting to silly tactics when there is a game to be won. Perhaps the answer lies with Richmond, Melbourne and St.Kilda, so it's time to take stock, Jacko, and again be the match-winner we all admired against Carlton in round three. - Peter Hogan Inside Football.

Game Review

The Demons were enjoying a good run and had won six in the row, the last, over Hawthorn had put them into the five. Carlton were the last side to beat them in round 7. Injuries meant the Blues went in with only five of the players who had played the seniors on Saturday and five who had no senior experience. Perhaps for this reason - though they only had 13 players from the previous Saturday - Melbourne had looked the better side all night, but they hadn't been able to open up a decisive lead and although they went to the last change with a 15 point lead the Blues soon booted three in a row to be in front. David Williams kicked his single goal of the evening on the run 19 minutes into the term and it looked like the Dees might steady to win after all, but the Blues fired again to put the match beyond doubt and end Melbourne's involvement in that year's night series.

Sterling effort by the boys
A young and enthusiastic Carlton side put an end to Melbourne's winning run in the Sterling Cup quarter final. The Blues took over in the last quarter, kicking six goals to Melbourne's one to win by 15 points. Carlton had only six players from last Saturday's side and five players with no senior experience. The youngsters were given great leadership by Peter McConville, Spiro Kourkoumelis and Paul Meldrum. Melbourne, also with senior players out, maintained the pressure for most of the game but came up short in the end. - Football Record.
