Carlton played Geelong at Geelong
The team met at Spencer Street Station at 12.10pm.
The Argus described it as "One of the finest exhibitions of football ever seen on the Corio Oval."
Carlton won in the air and played smart football, but Geelong's defence was resolute.
The Blues were behind at the last change and started the last quarter in sensational style. Dominating in the ruck they slammed on two goals in less than two minutes. Geelong appeared rattled when the Blues added two more goals and trailled by only two points. Just as game seemed in Carlton's grasp, the home team steadied and scored two goals and won by 7 points.

Sanger who played for the seniors last week returned, Brown took the centreman role of Smith/Schmidt who is with the seniors, Bavin took over Brown's place at centre half forward. Watkins returned from the seniors, and Henry was from the thirds.
The Blues led at quarter time by 4 points thanks to their accurate kicking of 5 goals straight. Long kicks, accurate passing and clever position play was displayed by both teams. However, Footscray took a 10 point lead at half time.
The Dogs were soon out to a lead of 17 points early in the third, then Carlton slammed on 5 goals to lead by 19 points at the last break.
Carlton's Hoarey scored within 10 seconds of the ball being bounced pushing the Blues lead out to 25 points.
Footscray's Standfield was moved to centre-half forward and began dominating with the Dog's small forwards feeding off him. Four goals were kicked to level the scores. A rushed a behind gave Carlton the narrowest of leads, then Footscray scored another 5 goals in seven minutes to run out winners by 39 points.
