Carlton Blues vs Sydney Swans Preview
The Baggers are back in the finals for the first time in over a decade and play a team that managed to finish 8th due to umpiring errors in two matches during the season in the Sydney Swans at the MCG this Friday night.
When these two sides last met, the Swans did a number on the Blues defeating them by 26 points at the SCG on a Friday night in Round 11 which had Blues fans calling up 3AW demanding that coach Micheal Voss be sacked.
A lot has changed since then, with the Blues finding their mojo and some believing that they can party like it’s 1995.
Patrick Cripps and Sam Docherty are likely to come back into the Blues side with Tom Papley back in Sydney’s starting line up.
In recent weeks, Sydney has the ability to start strong but fade out in the last quarter, and with the Blues playing in front of a desperate and adoring home crowd, expect them to bring it home in the last quarter not seen since their glory days at Princes Park.
The Blues should go on and win this comfortably in the end, and the 25+ points looks like a good value play.
