Game Review

Carlton's injury list prior to the match was;
Norman Clark and Viv Valentine strained tendons, Andy McDonald injured collar bone, Gordon Green and Archie Wilson injured ankles, and Alex Barningham injured shoulder.

While Carlton ran out the game comfortably, Geelong only had themselves to blame, inaccurate kicking removing any chance they had of a victory. A wasteful 1.9 in the second quarter left the Blues in the game at half-time, trailing by only 6 points. 7 goals to 1 in the second half for Carlton ensured victory and a Preliminary Final against Essendon the following week.
