Carlton Blues vs Geelong Cats Preview
Carlton can still make finals, but Geelong will give those Blues fans who have spent hours upon hours on the AFL Ladder Predictor a reality check once this game is over.
Even without Jezza Cameron, the Cats should be able to get the job done in this one.
Granted, Carlton has conjured up a couple of good wins of recent but no internal/external review is needed to prove that they can’t match it with a Geelong side that’s on a mission.
One thing to really look forward to in this game is a couple of big forwards doing their thing.
Even with Jeremy Cameron’s absence, Tom Hawkins can still kick a proper bag on one end, and Carlton’s Harry McKay on the other.
Hawkins is averaging 2.5 goals per game, Harry McKay 3.1.
So, to keep it interesting and more importantly, a bit of value I’ve gone with a simple two-leg same game multi – Tomahawk 3+ goals, Big Harry 3+ Goals at the $4.20 on offer.
