Show Preview
A crowd of 80,000-plus is expected to descend on the MCG for a Sunday afternoon blockbuster between traditional powerhouses and fierce rivals Carlton and Collingwood. Join The Roar for live scores and rolling coverage from 3:20pm (AEST).
After consecutive losses against the Bulldogs and Tigers, Collingwood bounced back to form last weekend with a strong and determined win against the Dockers in the west. Coach Craig McRae has his team performing well, yet inconsistently and they face a tough test against one of the form teams in the competition today.
Carlton enter this match off the back of four straight wins and a solid effort against Sydney in Round 10 that saw them confirm their top eight credentials once and for all. Whilst some may have been expecting a slip-up at some stage, the contest work of the Blues and wins against fellow top-eight contenders like the Swans have confirmed Carlton as a definite player in the race for a top-four position.
There are few match-ups that ignite such passion and with the MCG in full splendour and an expected crowd of around 80,000, we could be in for something special this afternoon.
Team news sees Collingwood enter with the same line-up that claimed the four points against the Dockers, with Jack Ginnivan remaining one of the hottest tickets in town.
Carlton welcome Jack Newnes and Paddy Dow back into a team that continues to impress even without the presence of Harry McKay up front. It will once again be the duty of Charlie Curnow to provide the imposing target inside 50; and based on his form, Collingwood had best be attentive to his presence.
Prediction
Carlton have the consistency of performance on the board that should see them enter this match as firm favourites. McRae has his Pies playing freely and they can present a danger on any given day.
However, the sheer power of the Carlton midfield will most likely prove far too strong for Collingwood’s mids and off the back of superb clearance work, Carlton should run away with a convincing victory.
Carlton by 36 points.
