Preview:

A 10-point loss to the Bombers has just about put a line through Sydney’s finals chances.

Sydney will look to bounce back this week against the Blues at home, but if you’ve caught a glimpse of Carlton over the last six weeks, you’ll know nothing comes easy against David Teague’s young and inspired side.

In a game they really should have won, the Blues somehow lost by five-points to Melbourne last Sunday. Carlton was the better team in front of goal, but a lacklustre third quarter was enough for the Demons to scrape home in the end.

For desperate Blues fans, the signs are certainly promising. Carlton’s pressure has been enormous over the last month, while it was encouraging to see Jack Silvagni boot three goals last week.

Unfortunately, the Blues lack form at the SCG. Carlton hasn’t won in Sydney against the Swans since 2011, while the Bloods have won their last three games at home.

The good news for Carlton is they probably won’t have to worry about Buddy Franklin this week. The future Hall of Famer has booted 16 goals in his last five games against the Blues, but will likely miss his third straight game with a hamstring injury.

Following the disappointment against Melbourne, the line looks a little generous this week.

The Blues are 7-3 as the line underdog over the last 12 months and considering the Swans have won by an average margin of 23-points at home this year, it’s worth backing Carlton to keep this game close.
