Game Review
In the absence through injury of Ron Barassi, this match is celebrated for the debut of future Premiership star Bryan Quirk. Unfortunately, the Blues were well-beaten by a committed South Melbourne team that came from behind with a barnstorming 7-goal third quarter, and held on to win by 15 points.Quirk's three goals from half-forward was at least some consolation on a disappointing day for Blues fans, who saw their team tumble to seventh on the ladder.
Ron Barassi's thigh injury prevented him from training on Thursday, former player and assistant coach Jack Carney was in charge of the session.
