1979, September 5, The West Australian, story and photo headlined ” Time likely to run out for Carlon”.  Also photo of Brad Reynolds who will play his 50th game for Claremont in the second semi final.  With Ken Hunter and Robbie Melville he completes one of the strongest half back lines in the league.

Mark Carlon, Claremont’s reliable full back faces a battle against time to be fit to play in the second semi final against South Fremantle.  he has a badly strained ankle and has only a 50x 50 chance of proving his fitness.  If he does not play, his position will probably be filled by Alan Walker. Norm Solomons also confined his training to swimming.
