Game Review
Carlton trailed a determined Melbourne for most of the game, but came home with more experience to win comfortably by kicking 7.7. to 2.2. in the last quarter. It was the Blues eighth win in a row over the luck-less Demons who had their seventh century score in eight games kicked against them this season. However they have the talent, it seems it is only a matter of time before they put it all together for a string of wins. They are certainly no "push-over" for even the top sides.
