GWS Giants vs Carlton Blues Preview
Everyone has been watching the Giants, hoping for a turnaround, but they remain one of the worst in-form teams, having lost their identity. Facing the red-hot Blues, who have been unstoppable recently, offers a chance to regain form.
The Giants’ defensive lapses, highlighted by their poor performance against the Crows, have been their downfall, conceding 29 scoring shots through Adelaide’s quick transitions. Carlton, with two consecutive weeks of scoring over 130 points, has been dominating games with surge moments.
In their first meeting this year, the Giants led by 20 points before the Blues quickly turned the contest around. To stand a chance, GWS must replicate their quick transitions that previously troubled the Blues.
While both teams have been compared for style and form, the Blues have advanced significantly in their progression, leaving the Giants needing a strong midfield performance to compete.
Head To Head Bet
