North Melbourne vs Carlton Blues Preview

Coming off a bye, the Blues aim to extend their unbeaten run against winless North Melbourne.

Despite a promising start from Alastair Clarkson’s young Kangaroos against Fremantle, they faltered in the second half, resulting in a 26-point loss.

While Carlton sits at 2-0, their performances have been less than stellar, narrowly escaping defeats against Brisbane and Richmond.

Although North has shown glimpses of promise, their defensive vulnerabilities remain a concern, conceding an average of 10 goals per game.

Facing formidable forwards like Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay poses a significant challenge for the inexperienced North backline.

While Carlton has room for improvement, they still appear a class above North at this stage.
