Game Review

This wretched loss at the Western Oval didn't just signal the conclusion of Carlton great Bruce Comben's career, it also saw the end of promising youngster Chris Pavlou's all too brief foray into the VFL.

In the middle of his best year of football, Pavlou wrenched his knee in an incident on the boundary line, and was forced into premature retirement at the age of only 22. For more on Pavlou and this game, click here.
