Carlton Blues vs Geelong Cats Preview
Carlton will look to continue its unbeaten start under caretaker coach Josh Fraser when it faces Geelong at the MCG on Friday night. The Blues have won their first two matches since parting ways with Michael Voss, including a 92-58 victory against the Power last Saturday night. Captain Patrick Cripps put together another stellar performance under Fraser, finishing the game with 32 touches and a goal. Meanwhile, Geelong claimed a huge win over another premiership contender last Saturday, beating Sydney 107-80 at GMHBA Stadium. Lawson Humphries (33 disposals) and Max Holmes (35 disposals) were destructive in gaining territory for the Cats, combining for over 1500 metres gained. Carlton has enjoyed recent success in this matchup, winning the past two meetings between the clubs, including a 94-76 victory in Round 7 last season. Cripps starred across those contests averaging 35.0 disposals, 16.0 contested possessions and 11.0 clearances.
