Game Review

Carlton had a resounding victory over Melbourne, who were placed 5th on the ladder.

You may have noticed that the Round orders in this year appear to be slightly out of order - in fact, Carlton's next game after this Round 8 game was the Round 6 game! Please click here to find out why.
