Game Review

Former Fitzroy champion Mick Grace added talent and experience to the Carlton line-up that defeated Essendon by 21 points at East Melbourne. Talked into a comeback at the age of 28 by Carlton coach Jack Worrall, Grace was to provide enormous value to the Blues for five seasons, and play a key role in Carlton’s first two Premierships.

Against the Same Old, Grace was effective at centre half-forward as his new team led throughout. Despite poor shooting for goal, the Blues won comfortably and cemented their place in the top four – although that situation would remain skewed until the postponed round 2 match against Geelong was played later in the year.
