Fremantle Dockers vs Carlton Blues Preview
The venue for this game is up in the air as i type this with Fremantle fleeing Perth’s lockdown earlier in the week.
Really tough game to pick though and although I suspect Carlton will open as narrow favourites, this is a real 50/50 game.
In Perth, I’d be backing Fremantle but given it’s now likely to be played in the eastern states, I’ll swing to the Blues.
Market Update: I said in the earlier preview that I’d back Fremantle if this were in Perth and it seems punters agree. The odds for this game have flipped since it was announced this game would take place at the MCG.
Carlton have moved into favouritism at $1.84, Fremantle are out to $2.00 with online bookmaker Sportsbet.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Carlton Blues to win at $1.84 odds.
