Preview:

For the last five years, it’s been two steps forward and one step back for the Blues. But last week’s loss? That was something else.

A week after taking Hawthorn to the brink, Carlton completely overlooked a down and out North Melbourne side going on to lose by 58-points in front of a very hopeful crowd.

This week things don’t get any easier against the premiership favourites, and if Collingwood’s complete annihilation of Port Adelaide is anything to go by, head coach Brendon Bolton could be in for another long day.

Collingwood look the team to beat this year for several reasons, but the biggest has to be Jordan deGoey. The star forward continues to pull off the unthinkable in front of goal, and when the ball isn’t in his hands, opposing teams also have to factor in the likes of Jamie Elliott and Jaidyn Stephenson – both of which combined for seven goals last week.

The Pies have won two straight against the Blues, both of which came in blowout fashion. Fans will be looking for a response from Carlton this week, and while there’s every chance they keep this game within 30-points, Collingwood’s prowess – particularly in the opening term – should see them over the line.
