It’s crunch time for David Teague and the Carlton Blues as they head to the mighty MCG to take on premiership contenders the Geelong CatsTune in with live scores on The Roar from 4:35pm (AEST) to see whether an upset can be sprung.
Sitting 13th, the Blues’ season appeared done and dusted just a fortnight ago. But consecutive wins over Adelaide and Fremantle, plus the struggles of Richmond and West Coast, has seen the door creak open slightly for them to make a shock run for a finals berth – if they’re good enough.
Teague did best the Cats and Chris Scott in his only match as coach against them, a two-point win early in 2020 at GMHBA Stadium. In that match, Eddie Betts was electric with two goals and a key hand in some big moments, while Patrick Cripps was awarded the three Brownlow votes for 24 touches and a pair of majors. You suspect both, plus the returning Zac Williams from suspension, will need to be at their best again to take down the Cats.
Geelong are smack in the middle of the developing logjam among top-four sides, with only percentage separating the third-placed Brisbane and fifth-placed Port Adelaide. However, a win here would open up a gap to the Power, in so doing giving the Cats a foothold in the top four.
At times this year, the Cats have looked the premiership favourite; at others, like in their thumping loss to the Lions a fortnight ago, they’ve looked short of a gallop. They’ll be tested in this match, too, with key forward Jeremy Cameron and captain Joel Selwood both out with injury.
