It’s a blockbuster Sunday afternoon match, as the Carlton Blues and ladder leaders Port Adelaide clash at the Gabba. Join The Roar for live scores from 1:05pm (AEST).
Carlton’s perennially disappointed fans are watching their side produce a nice run of form this season, with the Blues beginning the round inside the top eight for the first time since 2013. Last Sunday’s win over the Bulldogs was perhaps the team’s best in recent years.
Today’s clash remains a tricky encounter – Carlton haven’t beaten their South Australian opponents since 2016.
Port Adelaide, barring a loss against Brisbane a fortnight ago, have been excellent, with that loss remaining their only defeat of the season. They have not, however, defeated a top-eight side in 2020. That makes this clash an important one for Ken Hinkley and his men in their hunt for a position in the top four.
Neither side has a positive win-loss ledger at the Gabba. The Blues are narrowly ahead in total wins at the venue; a caveat being that Port have drawn clashes at the venue twice.
Port will not have the services of either Brad Ebert or Cam Sutcliffe, who are out with suspension and injury respectively. Former Lion Sam Mayes – who is confirmed to make a Power debut – is among several inclusions.
Carlton are potentially handing debuts to former Tiger Callum Moore and draftee Matthew Cotrell, who are among several potential inclusions.

I know you guys lost but you were bloody great. If you keep playing like that you'll make finals for sure.

Don’t need to convince me. A number of teams playing good footy Just thought this game was more like a finals game

This game was different, perhaps better but both were good. But the fact remains there are plenty of good games in the AFL at the moment, as long as Collingwood or Richmond aren't involved, even Sydney had a good one this weekend.

Only for Freo supporters AD. This was a much better quality of game. This is how footy should be played.

We've had two Saturday games and two Sunday midday games. Explain that to me?

This was a much better game than that in every aspect. That was a weird game, this was high quality attacking footy from two good teams that will most likely play finals. The other was a scrappy affair.

This was a better game. Unrelenting. I liked that both teams attacked despite the pressure. Unfortunately we couldn’t stop big Charlie. I saw him out walking the dog yesterday in Adelaide. Jokingly thought I should have got my Labrador to tunnel him. I wish I had of LOL.

Why was Carlton playing an SANFL side? Surely you meant Port Adelaide Power ???

If the lower tier teams like the Swans , Collingwood and tigers would play footy like it was played today the AFL would be in a better place
