Game Review
On the upside, there was the following week’s clash against struggling arch-rivals Collingwood to come. Essendon no doubt believed that they had Carlton's measure after this game, but the two sides were destined to meet again in the finals - with disastrous results for the Bombers. Carlton fell to 10th at this point, with a percentage of 92.7%.

Milestones
Debut: Simon Fletcher - promoted off the Rookie List, he gathered four possessions and two marks wearing number 31. It was a modest start, but Fletcher would go on to play every match in 1999 up until the Preliminary Final, beginning an 84-game career that stretched to 2003.Brownlow Votes
