Game Review
The Blues' midfield would carry us through this tough game against 1997 and 1998 Premiers, Adelaide. The modern day legends of Brett Ratten and Craig Bradley, both incidentally to become Assistant Coaches in Season 2007, would poll votes in the Brownlow and deliver the win, whilst Lance's 6 and Kouta's 28 touches and 2 goals would also help.
Stand-in ruckman Trent Hotton, in his first year at Carlton, would also deliver the goods.
