Melbourne Demons vs Carlton Blues Preview
The pressure is well and truly on for Michael Voss and the Carlton Football Club as they sink to 13th on the ladder after four losses in a row.
They are also out to $67 to win the 2023 AFL Premiership.
Carlton is not only losing games of football but they have failed to cover the line in seven of their last eight.
Melbourne are having issues of their own and they come into this game having lost two in a row.
Losses to Port Adelaide and Fremantle have been by small margins and they have the wood over Carlton, winning their last seven straight encounters.
The Blues are in desperate need of a response but they have proven time and time again that this is not enough to warrant the effort and competitiveness required.
Clayton Oliver will be missing for the Dees with a hamstring and I do think Melbourne are very short.
At the very least I am expecting the football to be hotly contested at stoppages and when it is in dispute.
I’m also tipping Kysaiah Pickett to kick multiple goals, something he has achieved in six of his 11 games this year.
