Game Review

Making a welcome return for their first matches of the year were Stephen Kernahan (who would boost the attack with 3 goals), Stephen Silvagni, Fraser Brown (1 goal) and Matthew Hogg (2 goals).

A more accurate Collingwood would make better use of its opportunities in the first half to take a 13 point lead at the long break, despite having 2 fewer scoring shots. But it was Collingwood's turn to be inaccurate in the third quarter, scoring 2 goals 7 to the Blues' 6 goals 1, which would see them take a 5 point 3/4 time lead. A 3 goal to 1 final quarter would see the Blues run out 17 point winners.

Anthony Koutoufides with 32 possessions was judged Best on Ground. Craig Bradley was very good with 24. Ang Christou and Andrew McKay at half back had 21 and 20 respectively.

The win put Carlton into the 8 for the first time that year.
