Carlton Blues vs St Kilda Saints Preview
Unlike the Lions, the Blues past their round 15 test against Fremantle to keep themselves in touch with the top four.
Sam Docherty and Sam Walsh continue to get plenty of the ball, combining for 70 disposals in their win over the Dockers.
The two pronged attack of Harry Mckay and Charlie Curnow are providing plenty of headaches for opposition defences and Adam Cerra returns for this clash.
The Saints have been the big sliders in recent weeks having now lost their last three straight.
They have gone from fourth to 10th in that time with losses to Brisbane, Essendon and Sydney.
St Kilda dominated the ruck contest 45-22 but only narrowly won the clearances (36-33) but 75 turnovers and just five marks inside 50 is concerning.
Their reliance on Max King is a problem and they have kicked just 23 goals in their last three games.
Carlton has covered the line in their last six games at Marvel stadium.
