Carlton Blues vs GWS Giants Preview
The undefeated Giants face a significant challenge against Carlton, who are eager to rebound from a narrow loss. Despite their unbeaten record, the Giants faced a tough battle against St Kilda last week, almost squandering a comfortable lead. Meanwhile, Carlton fell short against Adelaide in a closely contested match. While the Blues struggled with accuracy in front of goal, their defensive performance raised some concerns, particularly in conceding marks inside 50.
Historically, Carlton has had a mediocre record following a loss, and injuries to key players like Adam Saad and Mitch McGovern add to their challenges. However, the Giants will also miss Stephen Coniglio. With both teams showcasing strengths and weaknesses, the outcome seems unpredictable, but Carlton may benefit from the reduced pressure following their recent loss.
