Brisbane Lions vs Carlton Blues Preview

Back in Round 1, the Blues pulled off a dramatic one-point win over Brisbane after trailing by 46 points, and now they meet again at the Gabba for a Preliminary Final rematch.

Carlton’s recent form is shaky, with wins against only lower-ranked teams, but they may welcome back key players like Charlie Curnow, Harry McKay, and Sam Docherty. The Lions, nearly at full strength, are focused on efficiency after recent losses to the Giants and Pies.

Brisbane’s goalkicking woes could be Carlton’s chance, as the Lions rank poorly for shot accuracy. Curnow and McKay will be crucial for the Blues, while Brisbane’s speed and transition play are their strengths.

While the Blues have struggled against fast-paced teams, the Gabba’s smaller ground suits them. If Brisbane squanders chances, Carlton’s firepower and fan support could make the difference in this critical clash.
