Melbourne vs Carlton Preview

The Round 9 opener sees 8th placed Carlton take on the 4th placed Melbourne outfit. The Blues will keen to rejoin the winners list after suffering two straight losses, with those coming against Geelong and Collingwood.

Michael Voss’ side were in the contest deep in the match against the Magpies last weekend before a late Nick Daicos goal consigned them to a six-point defeat. Harry McKay booted four goals, while Sam Walsh produced his fourth straight 30+ disposal game since coming back from injury.

Melbourne come in with the superior win-loss record, having won six of eight, while the Blues are five from eight. The Demons managed to become the first side to defeat Geelong this season, holding on by eight points at the MCG last weekend.

Max Gawn was dominant in the ruck, while Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver both had 25+ disposals. That pair face off against Walsh and Patrick Cripps in the middle and the battle inside Carlton’s forward 50 will also be decisive with Steven May and Jake Lever lining up on McKay and Charlie Curnow.

Hard to split these two sides and Melbourne will be keen for revenge after bowing out at the hands of Carlton in a two-point thriller in the Semi Finals last season. Three of the past four games between the two sides have been decided by a goal or less and we might be in for more of the same on Thursday.
