Game Review
Still, this was Carlton's first loss of the season, and we maintained our place on top of the ladder - one win clear of Collingwood.
This game also featured one of Carlton's greatest ever grabs, with Jim Park soaring over his opponent for a speccie you have to see to believe - more on this here.
At the end of this round Carlton were in 1st spot on the ladder with a percentage of 114.2.
