Sydney Swans vs Carlton Blues Preview

Sydney and Carlton are set to clash under the Friday night lights at the SCG, with both teams fighting to keep their finals hopes alive. The Swans, sitting at 3-6, face a steep challenge to revive their season after a narrow 71-63 loss to Essendon last weekend. Meanwhile, the Blues come into the contest riding a wave of momentum, having claimed four wins from their last five outings — including a strong 77-62 performance against St Kilda. Harry McKay starred in that match, racking up 19 disposals, 12 contested possessions, 10 marks, and three goals.

Despite Carlton’s current form, recent history isn’t on their side at the SCG. They’ve managed just one win at the venue since 2012, losing 10 times by an average margin of 39.2 points. Sydney dominated their most recent encounter in Round 10, 2024, securing a 117-65 victory behind a standout display from Chad Warner, who notched 28 disposals, 561 metres gained, 14 score involvements, and three goals.

With both sides teetering on the edge of finals contention, this matchup looms as a must-win.
