Melbourne vs Carlton Preview

Melbourne and Carlton were involved in some close games in front of more than 90,000 fans to kick start the finals action.

The Demons featured in the Qualifying Final against Collingwood and despite some inside-50 domination, they were unable to get over the line against the Magpies, going down by seven points.

The following night, Carlton did enough to hold on against the Sydney Swans by six points, eliminating last years Grand Finalists in the process.

Carlton were led by some strong performers in the middle of the ground with Sam Walsh, Blake Acres and George Hewett all picking up 25+ disposals. But the Blues will be without Harry McKay due to concussion, while Jack Martin copped a ban from the Match Review. Jack Silvagni is a chance to replace if he gets up from a knee injury.

Melbourne lose Angus Brayshaw to concussion and Jacob Van Rooyen to suspension. The Demons were kept in the Collingwood game courtesy of a best-on-ground performance by Max Gawn, while Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca found plenty of the ball. They will just need to capitalise on their forward entries more effectively.

Both sides have some tall timber down back and this could go right down to the wire, much like last time the two sides met, which was as recently as Round 22. That resulted in a controversial four-point win to the Blues. The task at hand gets no easier for the winner of this game and a date with Brisbane at the GABBA awaits in the Preliminary Final, while the loser can farewell season 2023.
