Carlton vs Melbourne Preview and Prediction
These two sides have only played against each other at Marvel Stadium on four occasions with Carlton winning three of those.
This game will be important for both sides as they look to get their first win on the board.
Carlton’s loss to premiers Richmond wasn’t surprising but there was signs of maturity and improvement to the side who had seven wins last season. The Blues efficiency and goal threat inside 50 troubled the Richmond defenders particularly in the second half.
Carlton kicked nine second half goals to the Tigers five, a promising sign for the Blues heading into Saturday’s match.
Former Gold Coast Suns midfielder, Jack Martin was best on ground for the Blues with four goals and 17 disposals, whilst talisman Patrick Cripps finished with 10 clearances.
Melbourne, also to no surprise, lost to powerhouse West Coast Eagles. The 2018 Preliminary Finalists finished with 10 more inside 50’s than the Eagles despite having two less scoring shots.
Jack Viney got 34 disposals and six tackles in a dominating performance, something he’ll look to continue with against the Blues.
Both Melbourne and Carlton had a disappointing 2019 season, finishing 16th and 17th respectively.
It will be interesting to see how Eddie Betts fairs in his first game for his old club, Demons fans will be hoping Harley Bennell can make an impact in his first game for the club.
Melbourne haven’t had the best of form of recent, but I think they’ll edge this one in a tight contest.
