Preview:
The scenes following last week’s huge upset win over the Dockers in Perth said it all: Carlton still believes.
The Blues head into Sunday’s game as the underdogs against a Melbourne side looking to bounce back from their admirable performance against the Lions.
At one stage the Dees looked a real chance at stealing the points, but a sloppy performance from the back line cost them in the third quarter.
There’s nothing left to play for other than bragging rights for both clubs, and although the Dees have won three straight games over Carlton, they’ll have their hands full on Sunday afternoon.
David Teague has instilled some belief into the Blues, and after winning two of their last three games, Carlton will fancy themselves a chance if Ed Curnow can dominate the clearances like he did last week.
There’s still no news on Max Gawn’s ankle, but even so, it’s worth noting three of the last five games between these two sides have been decided by 20-points or less.
The Blues are 3-1 as the line underdog against Melbourne, which makes this generous line look the safest play. Just don’t be surprised if Carlton winds up winning.
