Game Review

Carlton's second very close loss in a row must have broken the hearts of the players, in a season we spent largely out of the race for the finals - indeed we were last at Round 13. It was neck and neck for most of the match, with Melbourne extending their 1 point buffer and 3 quarter time by another point to take the game and move into the top 4.

Fraser Brown was our best with 28 possessions and 3 tackles.
