Show Preview
It’s Carlton’s first final since 2013 as they take to the MCG to battle Sydney in a bid to keep their premiership dream alive. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:50pm (AEST).
The Blues will have to overcome a significant head-to-head record deficit, as Sydney has won 12 of the past 14 meetings between the two teams.
Carlton’s defence is ranked fourth in the league, but their offense has been inconsistent in the home and away season. The Blues’ key forwards duo in Harry McKay and Charlie Curnow will need to be at their best to overturn this statistic this evening, while welcoming back Patrick Cripps and Sam Docherty from injury will also help.
Sydney’s offence is ranked seventh in the league, and their defence is ranked eighth. They have struggled at the MCG this year, winning just one of their three games at the venue.
The Swans’ midfield is their strongest area, and they will need to control the ball to win the game. Sydney also has a wealth of finals experience, with Luke Parker alone having played in 22 finals.
Ultimately, this match will be decided by which team can execute their game plan better. Carlton will need to ensure they are at their best to overturn their poor recent record against the Swans; however, I believe the Blues will get it done and advance to next week’s semi final against Melbourne with a four-point win.
