Carlton Blues vs Collingwood Magpies Preview
The anticipation is high as tickets sell out swiftly for this historic clash between Carlton and Collingwood. Carlton’s struggles with inside 50 efficiency were evident in their loss to Geelong, while Collingwood faced early challenges at the stoppages against the Bombers. Michael Voss has highlighted the Blues’ defensive lapses, leading to shootouts early in games. Collingwood aims to exploit turnovers and improve their stoppage performance to contain key players like Cripps and Walsh. With Charlie Curnow posing a threat and Elliot and Mihocek in form, the Pies seek midfield support to secure victory. The outcome of this tightly contested match will provide insights into both teams’ current standings. Based on past encounters, Collingwood may have the edge to unsettle Carlton’s season once again.
