Carlton Blues vs Fremantle Dockers Preview
This is a massive game for the Blues on Sunday as they look to claw their way back from an 0-2 start to the season.
So far Carlton has played some strong footy in spurts against Richmond and Collingwood, but much like last year (and the last decade for that matter), the Blues have failed to carry momentum through to the fourth quarter.
Fortunately, the Blues will face Fremantle at an opportune time with skipper Nat Fyfe ruled out due to concussion.
Fyfe’s absence is disappointing for Docker fans following last week’s impressive beat-down over GWS, but there’s still a bit to like about Freo at the line with plenty of experience and leadership still on the roster.
The last two games between these two sides have been decided by less than a goal, and based on everything we’ve seen from Carlton so far, it’s a little difficult to get them anywhere close to -16.5 favourites.
With reports revealing Patrick Cripps is also playing through a mystery injury, there’s a good chance this one comes right down to the wire again.
