Carlton Blues vs West Coast Eagles Preview
Winners of four straight, a percentage-boosting win could be on the cards this week for the Blues as they continue their late-season turnaround.
Michael Voss has his side playing a rejuvenated brand of footy, ball movement being the main improvement after so many stagnant weeks of forward half play.
Patrick Cripps has returned to his best, while the likes of Adam Cerra and Sam Docherty have also stepped up a gear in recent weeks.
The injury bug has unfortunately landed a crucial blow with Harry McKay suffering a knee injury in last week’s upset over Port Adelaide, but with Charlie Curnow in Coleman Medal-winning from, Carlton fans shouldn’t sweat too much.
Also on the plus side is a mammoth 108-point win over West Coast when the Blues flew to Perth earlier in April.
After booting nine that evening, Curnow could wrap up the Charlie with another bag, while the likes of Cripps, Sam Walsh, and Blake Acres also walked away with a serious case of leather poisioning.
Defensively, West Coast are trying their best to set up behind the footy and stop the bleeding, but with Blues fans up and about, and the finals back within reach, this should be nothing more than another mauling.
