Preview:
Patrick Cripps promised the Blues would play better last week, and that’s exactly what they did.
Carlton led the Pies by a goal at three-quarter time, right before Collingwood went on a five-goal surge to win by 29-points.
It was a disappointing ending to another game Carlton should have won, but it was still encouraging from a side that many gave zero chance.
It was quite the opposite for GWS last Sunday as the Giants extended their losing record at the G’ to 2-16. Leon Cameron’s side were flat and lethargic in their 33-point loss to the Hawks, and with both sides looking to turn their form around, we should be in for a fascinating battle.
The Giants are 8-3 against the Blues since they entered the competition, and a more impressive 7-3 as the home favourite.
Carlton, meanwhile, have provided tremendous value against the line over the last 12 months with a strong 8-3 record as the underdog.
Still, Carlton will need more than just a monster effort from Cripps to win this game, and with many doubting the Giants’ credibility as a top four side, expect GWS to open this game with plenty of energy and storm ahead early.
