Game Review

It was goal for goal in the first half, the Blues going to the long break just 3 points ahead. In the third quarter the Blues took control, but an inaccurate 6 goals and 10 behinds to Collingwood's 3.3 would give Carlton a 22 point lead at 3/4 time, though they had 12 more scoring shots. In the last quarter the Magpies kicked 2 unanswered goals while both sides continued to miss shots, to get within 7 points. But the Blues responded with 2 goals before a late Collingwood goal sent the final margin to 16 points.

Brett Ratten and Craig Bradley were the best two players on ground with 31 and 30 possessions respectively. Playing at full-forward, Anthony Koutoufides hauled down some big marks and kicked 6 good goals. Matthew Allan dominated the rucks, while Andrew McKay was given the job on Buckley and broke even with him, each getting 22 possessions.
