Preview:
The Blues were right on the verge of triumph last week before everything went pear shaped in the third quarter.
Carlton held a six-goal advantage over the Hawks in Launceston, only to allow Alastair Clarkson’s side to erase the lead in the fourth quarter going on to win by five-points.
Despite the loss, things still look promising for the Blues, which is more than you can say for North Melbourne right now. The Roos find themselves second from the bottom with one win to their name, surrounded by criticism and question marks with very little to play for.
If you act fast you should be able to snag the Blues at a handy price this week. The bookies are struggling to separate the two, although it is worth noting the Roos own four wins on the trot over Carlton.
The Blues went without Charlie Curnow last week, which left much of the workload in the hands of Mitch McGovern and Harry McKay. Patrick Cripps was unbelievable tallying 28 disposals, not to be outdone by veteran Dale Thomas.
North have the pieces to win this game, but it’s their belief that causes question. Ben Brown has looked a shell of his former self so far this year, while North still look incapable of weathering a momentum storm.
Everything points towards a Blues win this week. Sunday’s game marks the first time in 12 months Carlton have entered as the favourite, so make sure you take advantage of the odds.
