Game Review

The Blues ran all over a lethargic Fitzroy in the first half. Wholesale changes on each line at half time, re-invigoured the Lions who out scored the Blues. Carlton hung on for the win.
Don Nicholls dominated the half forward flank and with Graham Gilchrist provided plenty of drive into the forward line.
