Show Preview
A grand final spot is on the line for Brisbane and Carlton as they lock horns at the Gabba in a preliminary final blockbuster. Join The Roar for live scores from 5:15pm (AEST).
Just three teams remain in the race for the AFL premiership and one more will be eliminated this afternoon when the Lions and Blues meet in Queensland.
It has been yet another solid season from Chris Fagan’s men, built off the back of a still improving defence and a dangerous front half led by Charlie Cameron, Joe Daniher and Eric Hipwood. Lachie Neale has again been critical, with Josh Dunkley and Hugh McCluggage his supporting crew around the contest.
Jack Payne is a significant loss for the home side heading into the match, yet otherwise, the Lions look settled across the field and the return of Darcy Gardiner in the back three means they have a capable replacement.
After early season chaos at Carlton, with fans furious that the improvement which they had hoped for not arriving under Michael Voss, the team suddenly took off into the stratosphere. Staying the course and sticking to a simple process-driven approach finally turned the Blues around a corner that fans have longed for, and wins against Sydney and Melbourne in the finals have proven that Carlton now have the steel to compete on the big days against the best teams.
Harry McKay, Jack Martin and Jordan Boyd have been recalled, with Matthew Owies among those unlucky to miss.
Prediction
If we thought last night’s one-point win for Collingwood over GWS was special, it is possible that this match could in fact take things to another level. Charlie Curnow is poised to produce a career-defining match to add to an already stellar finals series.
Something tells me this match will be on a knife-edge heading into the final term and see the Lions running away in the final minutes off the back of a midfield that eventually wears down Patrick Cripps and Adam Cerra.
