Carlton Blues vs Port Adelaide Power Preview
The Blues will be looking to get the Gabba monkey off their back this week when they host Port Adelaide on Sunday afternoon.
Carlton has lost each of its last five games up in Brisbane, but if they turn up to play like they did last week against the Dogs, they should prove tough to beat.
Port Adelaide also bounced-back in Round 6 with a hard-fought win over the Giants on the Gold Coast. The Power have also had their struggles at the Gabba, most recently against the Lions a fortnight ago where they lost by 37-points.
There is good news on the injury front for Ken Hinkley with key midfielder Xavier Duursma a chance to return to the side, while Steven Motlop remains a wait-and-see after suffering a concussion last week.
The Blues have a few key concerns themselves with Patrick Cripps and Marc Murphy waiting on scans at the time of publish.
Port has won its last three games over Carlton, but on the heels of a resounding win over the Dogs last week, you have to like the look of the Blues at the line – providing they field a full-strength squad.
Carlton have covered in four of their last six matches as the line underdog against Port, leaving the +15.5 looking very generous.
