Carlton Blues vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
The injury woes continue for Carlton, who face the Suns after a loss to the Swans. Despite injuries, Carlton remains competitive, but they’ll need a big effort against a strong Suns side, especially after their impressive performance against the Cats in Darwin.
The pressure is on the Suns to prove themselves away from home. In their last clash at Marvel in 2021, the Suns emerged victorious.
Expect a determined Carlton side, eager to bounce back from a subpar performance against the Swans. The midfield battle will be crucial, with both teams possessing a mix of physicality and skill.
Carlton must improve defensively, as the Suns lead in inside 50s and intercepts per game. The Blues need to utilize their small forwards to alleviate pressure on key players like Charlie and Harry.
With home advantage and the Suns’ struggles on the road, Carlton should prevail, but the Suns won’t go down without a fight.
