Carlton Blues vs Port Adelaide Preview
This Friday night clash features two struggling teams, making it a tough one to call. Port Adelaide has struggled to dominate a weakened Richmond and faces a short turnaround from their last game, while Carlton has been inconsistent but managed a narrow win against North Melbourne.
In their previous meeting, Carlton overcame Port Adelaide in the final quarter. Port generally performs well at Marvel Stadium, but their form has been shaky, particularly in contested situations where Carlton has an edge.
Port’s success hinges on Charlie Dixon’s performance to alleviate pressure from Mitch Georgiades. Carlton needs to shut down Port’s midfield scoring to stay competitive. Given the tight margin and Carlton’s short break, a close contest is expected, making a bet on a narrow margin a prudent choice.
