Carlton Blues vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
Carlton will have their work cut out as they face an undefeated Hawthorn side this Thursday.
After a surprise loss to Richmond, coach Michael Voss will need a quick fix to counter the Hawks’ lightning-fast ball movement and their ability to score swiftly.
Sam Mitchell’s focus will be on improving clearances after a poor showing against Essendon.
However, Hawthorn’s attacking precision and overall threat make them a tough opponent.
With Charlie Curnow potentially back for Carlton, they will still be up against a Hawks team firing on all cylinders, led by Will Day and Nick Watson.
Hawthorn’s resilience in tight situations signals their genuine flag ambitions.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Hawthorn Hawks to win at $1.45 odds.
