Game Review
Carlton defeated Hawthorn in the Match of the Day by 26 points and are now sitting on top of the ladder. This was a tough match with both sides all out to prove their superiority of Princes Park. But the Blues had too many outstanding players on the day and registered their first win following three losses to the Hawks. Their 16.15 was the highest by a Carlton side in the last six matches against Hawthorn.
