Preview:
THIS is a crucial game for the Blues and the Demons, who are both winless after the first three rounds and coming off six-day breaks. In tough conditions at Spotless Stadium last Sunday, Melbourne showed commendable commitment for three quarters before being overrun by the Giants in the last quarter. While the Blues’ recent record against the Demons will give them some confidence, they were humiliated against a slick Essendon outfit last Sunday night. Carlton has copped plenty of criticism this week and will need to put in a much better all-round effort to record its first win on Saturday.
