Sydney Swans vs Carlton Blues Preview
The game of the round features the Blues facing a tough test against the Swans at their fortress.
Sydney is in great form, with their only loss coming unexpectedly against the Tigers. They’ve capitalized well in patches, despite showing some vulnerabilities last week when the Dockers couldn’t convert their inside 50 entries.
The Blues had a strong rebound against the Demons, kicking six early goals to set up their win despite Melbourne’s late surge. This matchup recalls last year’s Elimination Final, where the Blues’ fast start was crucial.
Although the Blues have struggled against fast offensive teams, they’ve shown they can contain the Swans. It’s a contest between Carlton’s contested style led by Cripps, Kennedy, and Hewett, and the Swans’ Gulden, Warner, and Heeney’s uncontested play.
The Blues often start strong at the SCG but fade late. With a big Swans crowd expected, Sydney’s speed at home should secure their win.
