Carlton Blues vs Melbourne Demons Preview

In order to win a premiership you must be playing your best football at the business end of the season and that’s exactly what Carlton is doing.

And while I can’t believe I just said the word ‘Carlton’ and ‘premiership’ in the same sentence they now hold the longest winning streak of any team in the competition.

So close is the competition that it remains a possibility that Carlton get the double chance by finishing in the top four as does the scenario that they miss finals completely.

After this they head to the Gold Coast where the Suns have a good record and close out the home and away season against GWS who may also be fighting to extend their season beyond August.

Melbourne bring their own winning streak into this contest, five in fact, and they too may be timing their run perfectly.

Max Gawn playing as the lone ruckman has been a masterstroke and Clayton Oliver is still to return to the team after an extended stint on the sidelines.

Both sides have issues up forward with key personal missing but both have found other avenues to goal and are scoring plenty of points.

The Dees have won their last eight straight games against the Blues and I’m predicting that continues.
