Game Review

An extremely hard-fought victory at the Western Oval.
Virtually nothing separated the sides until mid-way through the last quarter, when three quick goals from Robbie Walls and another two from Swan McKay (both sterling contributors all day) forged the Blues to a winning lead.
Bill Barrot franked his status as a blue-chip investment with another fine performance in the centre.
