Carlton got their season back on track last week and will be looking to build even more confidence against the young GWS Giants. We’ll have live scores from 1.10pm AEST.
The two coaches of these teams have clashed during the week over the Blues’ selection tactics.
Giants coach Kevin Sheedy warned the Blues not to take his side lightly as the suggestion Carlton would rest a number of their stars gained momentum.
When the team sheets came out, Chris Judd, Matthew Kreuzer and Jarrad Waite were all left out.
Carlton coach Brett Ratten defended the omissions, saying the best available team was selected.
On the field, the two teams appear destined to end the year at different ends of the ladder, so it will be tough for the Giants to get close.
But GWS have performed well the past two weeks, holding the Western Bulldogs to a goalless first quarter and keeping Adelaide honest a week earlier.
Jeremy Cameron has been the big talking point out of the kids following his five-goal haul last week. Tomas Bugg has also been in magnificent form.
The Giants have joined the Blues in making a raft of changes: Rhys Palmer, Dean Brogan, Tim Mohr, Setanta O’hAilpin are possible inclusions, while Josh Bruce, Shaun Edwards, Jacob Townsend, Adam Treloar and Adam Tomlinson are out.
Carlton are coming off a hard-fought eight-point win over Fremantle last Friday.
Freo played a defensive game but the Blues were up to the challenge and would’ve won by more if it weren’t for a late rally. Chris Judd was well held, but Kade Simpson, Marc Murphy and Mitch Robinson were all prominent.

Carlton will come away with a soft win, but there should be plenty made about the lack of effort from the Blues in the first 2.5 quarters. They swanned around thinking it would be easy, but were shown up by a side that actually wanted the ball and wanted to prove something.

Yeah, Once GWS ran out of talls, and felt the effect of playing with a smaller bench, Carlton played some excellent footy.
But when the game was there to be won, Carlton went missing.

Its been a brave effort by GWS, but they’ve run out of height, and didnt have enough strength to start with.

Giles goes off from the blood rule, and Davis is overmatched in the ruck. Quick hithour, fast kick and Thornton marks low in the hot spot. Goal to Carlton. Lead is now 25 points

Almost a goal of the year dancing along the boundary line by Betts, but couldnt quite thread the kick. 25 points.
Next goal is important

Brogan has a dinged wrist, but is still on the field.
The Blues are playing great when they have time and space. Unfortunatly for them, they are playing the GWS Giants.

Balls locked up in the GWS forward line. Tough, hard stuff

Ian Whitchurch said | 1:44pm | Report comment
Giants are sharing the ball around a lot, but making errors that a more experienced Carlton side turn into goals.
Cogs and Adams have been busy, with four marks each and 8 and 9 possessions, while Sentanta provides a target up forward.
Carlton need to pull the finger out and kick straight.
