Game Review

Essendon would reverse the result from earlier in the year and take the points against Carlton. The winner of this game would have edged out the other for the Top 4, and as a result, the Bombers were in the box seat for the finals.

Carlton had to hope for others to lose and have a massive win in Round 18 to have a chance.

At the end of this round Carlton were in 6th spot on the ladder with a percentage of 111.3.
