Game Review
There was much anticipation from Blues fans for our first outing in the real season after our Pre-Season Wizard Cup win. Over 40,000 Blue and Roo fans came to the Dome to watch a defensive type game in the heat of late March.
The Blues would be competitive and lead the game for much of the first half, but a greater spread of midfielders and midfield goals would be our undoing. Big Sav Rocca would play a solid game with 4 goals, beating Livingston before the unfortunate "Livo" went off injured in the second quarter.
In a worrying point which would become a trend for Carlton, the two teams would have equal shots at goal but Carlton's conversion was poor, including relatively easy misses to forwards Davies and Whitnall, with 2.5 between them.
Captain Anthony Koutoufides was Carlton's best player, with 32 disposals.
The match was the debut for young Eddie Betts, who would kick 2 goals from 6 kicks.
