Game Review

The Cats led by 20 points late in the 3rd term but Jezza's got 2 late goals allowing the Blues the belief that victory was still eminently achievable and, in fact, they powered away in the last.

Jezza now had amassed 15 goals after 2 rounds.

Despite Carlton's success in this era, this team was one of Carlton's youngest ever teams, with an average age of 22 years, 216 days. The were playing 6 teenagers fro the second week in a row, who were Barry Armstrong, Brent Crosswell, Bruce Doull, Phil Pinnell, Robert Walls and Brian Walsh.
