''Statistically Speaking
Carlton again held top position on the League ladder when they had a 56 point win over the Tigers. Alex Marcou with 25 disposals and 5 goals was Carlton's best player with ex Hawthorn player Barry Rowlings best for the Tigers with 36 disposals. Richmond had nearly 8% more kicks and 6% more marks, but Carlton had just on 10% more handball. - Ray Young Football Record.''
