Show Preview

Two sides desperate for a win meet at the SCG as Sydney host Carlton to begin Round 11. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:50pm (AEST).

Sydney were able to break a four game losing streak last weekend against the Kangaroos whilst the Blues were outclassed by the Magpies who are at the top of the table.

The Swans have only won one of their last five matches, which includes a 93-point loss to the reigning premiers Geelong and two consecutive losses at the SCG. Last week’s late effort to beat the Kangaroos was impressive, but tonight’s match will be a chance to get their season properly back on track with a win before the bye.

The Swans also lost the clearance count by 20 against North Melbourne last week, and Carlton’s clearance game is among the strongest in the competition. However, they will be pleased with Lance Franklin’s return to form with three goals last week.

Carlton have lost five out of their last six games to find themselves outside of the top eight, and clinging to hopes of a long-awaited finals berth this season. However, they will match up well in the forward line, as the Swans have several injuries down back.

Tonight will be a great chance for Charlie Curnow, Harry McKay and Tom De Koning to have plenty of it with greater opportunity to score.

Poor weather is expected in Sydney in the afternoon and we are likely to see quite a greasy surface on a cold Friday night.

I am tipping the Swans to take back the SCG with a seven-point win.
