Game Review

All VFL matches will now start at 2.15 pm.
The Blues, defending champions, bolted to a commanding lead early but failed to crush the Hawks who had struggled into 11th position in season 1947.

An adequate but hardly convincing start to 1948.

.* Monday's Age had Umpire Coward as the central umpire.
