Game Review
Carlton continued their strong start to the season with their second win in a row, this time against Souths at home.A even game up until three quarter time. South could not cope with the Blues' pressure in the final term who ran out comfortable winners. Jack Hale gave a great exhibition of roving.
Carlton sat on top of the ladder on percentage of 139.6 from Footscray, the only other unbeaten team in the competition after Round 2.
