Preview:
All eyes will be on Harris as she returns to the venue where the now iconic kick photo was taken and while the market isn’t available at time of publish, it might be worth having something on her to be first goal scorer of the match.
The match itself has both Carlton and the Western Bulldogs coming off losses last weekend and both teams will be desperate to win to stay in the hunt in this conference B clash.
Carlton sits 4th on the B conference ladder and the Dogs 5th and both will need to get a win to get into the top three which would put them in the zone to qualify for finals come the end of the eight round season.
The Western Bulldogs were outclassed by Melbourne last week in the trying and windy conditions of the Whitten Oval.
The Bulldogs were accurate, but they only scored 2-0 (12) for the entire match and Aisling McCarthy found herself leading the disposals with 15 and six tackles.
Carlton’s 15 point loss to Collingwood was a spirted affair but they struggled to take their chances up forward and were chasing the Magpies for the entire game.
The Blues and Tayla Harris have been the story going into this round and both teams appear evenly matched going into this game on paper.
Expect Carlton to come out all guns blazing and this match to go down to the wire.
The line of -5.5 reflects that.
