Gold Coast Suns vs Carlton Blues Preview
There will be a fair few Carlton fans reading this thinking that this could be the banana peel game that somehow replicates what happened in the final rounds of last season which resulted in the Blues missing the finals.
I’m here to tell you now – YOU WON’T STUFF THIS UP.
The Blues have won their last eight matches and are arguably the most in-form team of the AFL.
Some may think the Suns will have a crack but that won’t happen.
Carlton means business and a nice road trip to the Gold Coast for a bit of Sun and percentage will be just the thing the Blues need heading into the finals.
