Game Review
The Students led Carlton through the first half before one of their players, Vic Trood, was felled. He was carried unconsious from the ground and grave fears were held for his health. Suspicion centred on two Carlton players Martin Gotz and Alex Barningham. Gotz was charged with assault and found guilty, being fined 10 pounds. He was cleared after an appeal.
University threatened to boycott the return game in Round 13 unless certain Carlton players were left out of the Blues side. Carlton announced they would decide who was to represent the club without any input from outside and they would happily accept a forfeit.
A sick and sorry Trood was quoted a few days after the match as saying "I have no idea what struck me, but it could have been a cable tram".
At the end of this round Carlton were in 5th spot on the ladder with a percentage of 109.5.
