Carlton Blues vs Richmond Tigers Preview

Yet again the Blues and Tigers meet on Thursday night and as always, there’s much hype about Carlton’s prospects.

An improved showing in the pre-season, a fit and firing Cripps, new coach, new era – we’ve seen this movie before.

Is this time different though?

I’m not sure.

Richmond did miss out on finals football after a dominant run of premierships, however, most pundits (including yours truly) expect it to be a mere glitch and for the Tigers to resume normal programming.

The Tigers streak against Carlton is currently at 11, with the last six being decided by 1-39 points.

Much like all the other Thursday night, Round 1 openers, expect the Tigers to get a buffer early on, Carlton to fight back and then the Tigers to get on with taking the four premiership points.

More of the same in Round 1 2022, Tigers by 1-39.
