Game Review
The Carlton teams of this era were famous for their third-quarter onslaughts - the 'Premiership quarter' according to coach David Parkin. And in this match against a plucky Sydney team at Princes Park, the Blues slammed on eight majors in a whirlwind third term, to break the Swans' will and run out winners by 44 points.
