Carlton Blues vs Richmond Tigers Preview
Carlton and Richmond will go head to head in what has become their traditional round 1 time slot on a Thursday night.
There has been a lot of hype around Carlton in recent weeks but Richmond will be a true test to see where they’re currently at.
The Tigers have probably flown under the radar this pre-season, there are a lot of questions to be answered about whether the tigers will bounce back after a pretty disappointing season last year.
I get the feeling that Carlton will come out all cylinders firing this year and a win over Richmond could give them the confidence to go on and finally play finals this season.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Carlton Blues to win at $2.53 odds.
First Goal Scorer
First Goal Scorer: Harry McKay at $8.50.
