Carlton Blues vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
Carlton faces an uphill battle as they take on an undefeated Hawthorn this Thursday. After a shock loss to Richmond, Michael Voss must quickly devise a plan to counter Hawthorn’s fast ball movement and ability to score on the run. Sam Mitchell will look to improve clearances after a rough outing against Essendon, but the Hawks’ precision and attacking threat make them formidable contenders. With Charlie Curnow potentially returning for the Blues, they’ll still be up against a Hawks team in top form, including standouts Will Day and Nick Watson. Hawthorn’s resilience in tough situations points to a team with flag ambitions.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Hawthorn Hawks to win at $1.45 odds.
First Goal Scorer
