Carlton Blues vs Gold Coast SUNS Preview
Carlton returns to Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon searching for a response after consecutive defeats threatened to derail its finals push. The Blues sit outside the top 10 on percentage despite winning seven straight matches earlier in the season and cannot afford another slip-up against a Gold Coast side whose campaign has unravelled.
The Suns have now lost eight consecutive games after falling to the Western Bulldogs, with their finals hopes effectively extinguished despite entering the year as genuine premiership contenders. Ben King endured a frustrating afternoon in front of goal last week but has previously enjoyed success against Carlton, booting six majors when Gold Coast claimed a 19-point win in this fixture last season. For the Blues, victory is becoming increasingly critical as a tightly packed race for the finals and Wildcard positions enters its decisive stages.
