Gold Coast Suns vs Carlton Blues Preview

Sporting an eight-game winning streak, the Blues are the hottest team in footy right now – a remarkable statement given how the club was trending toward the midway point of the season.

Carlton claimed another big scalp last week with a four-point win over Melbourne, and confidence should be high again this week coming off a 59-point massacre over the Suns earlier in the year.

Sam Walsh looks to be another week away, but there is good news on the Harry McKay front with the Blues’ star forward a chance at returning.

It has to be noted that the Suns are a different beast at home though, and they’d likely relish the chance at playing finals spoiler over these final two weeks.

The current line reflects that, but given the Blues have allowed the fewest points to opponents this season, this shapes as a difficult day for a Suns side potentially still missing Ben King.
