Carlton vs Richmond Preview
After finally breaking through for their first win of 2021, Carlton will look to make it back-to-back wins as they face the yet-to-win-a-game Richmond at Ikon Park this Saturday.
It was very much the Maddy Prespakis show at Moorabbin last weekend as the Blues cruised through for a 24 point win over the Saints.
Prespakis put on a show with 24 disposals and a goal, as last years AFLW MVP could very much be favoured to back it up this season.
At the beginning of this season, many had pencilled in Carlton as a contender for the flag so last week was very much a shot in the arm for their prospects.
They are the unbackable favourite against Richmond, although, they should not underestimate the Tigers.
Don’t get me wrong, the Blues will win this.
It’s how they will win this – especially if they want to give the old percentage a bit of a boost.
Out of the four teams yet to win a game, Richmond is clearly the best of the bunch but the Tigers probably wished the league put them against a non-establishment top 8 contender side in the current drip-fed fixture format.
The Tigers were plucky in their 17 point loss to Collingwood but have some serious inaccuracy woes – kicking 4.7 along with a few shots that fell short or went wide. They even held the Magpies scoreless in the last quarter but couldn’t capitalise. Richmond AFLW is still very much a work in progress and that first win is coming, but it won’t be this Saturday.
