Sydney Swans vs Carlton Blues Preview

The game of the round by a comfortable stretch, this is one of the Blues biggest tests so far and on the Swans fortress, it’s no easy task.

The Swans are in red-hot form with their only loss unexpectedly against the Tigers, but otherwise, they’ve been able to capitalise and execute in patches, which wins them games.

However it’s hard to say that they’ve been perfect, they are beatable, which was proven last week when the Dockers simply kicked themselves out of it because the entries inside 50 do come.

The Blues bounced back massively against the Demons, kicking the first six goals to set them up, even with the Demons late surge.

It is easy to forget this was last year’s Elimination Final matchup, where it was the Blues fast start that again did the work for them when the Swans came back late.

So even though the Blues struggle with fast offensive teams, they do know how to shut down the Swans.

It’s the Cripps, Kennedy, Hewett contested style against the Swans Gulden, Warner, Heeney get and go uncontested style.

Typically the Blues fare well early in these games at the SCG but fall off late, so if the Swans get off to a quick start it could be over even earlier.

With a big Swans crowd at the SCG on Friday night, it should be a cracking contest, but the speed the Swans produce at home is draining and should get them home.
