Game Review
Carlton were in control of this game for the bulk of the match and were 20 points up at the final change. Coach Wayne Brittain was not dissatisfied with the commitment shown by the Blues and believed they were the better side on the day but the Hawks effectively stole this game with a goal after the siren.
Stephen Silvagni played up forward and kicked 4 goals from 9 marks. Brett Ratten kicked 2 goals from 28 possessions. Andrew McKay was Best on Ground with 3 Brownlow votes. Adrian Hickmott had 25 possessions and 9 marks.
The loss would cause Carlton to fall from 4th to 6th on the ladder.
