North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Carlton Blues Preview

The stage is set for an intriguing battle on Good Friday as North Melbourne prepares to host Carlton at Marvel Stadium. Despite a loss to the Hawks last week, the new-look Roos have been competitive in all their games this year. Meanwhile, the Blues are still undefeated but their performances have left a lot to be desired.

While Carlton managed to get the job done against GWS on the road, it was a low-scoring and error-filled game that suggests they still have room for improvement. North Melbourne had their moments against the Hawks, but it appeared they ran out of legs in the fourth quarter after traveling south to Tassie following their game in Perth the previous week.

Furthermore, North Melbourne conceded an unsightly number of uncontested marks to Hawthorn, an area that has been a strength for Carlton this season. Although returning to Melbourne after a few tricky weeks on the road will benefit the Roos, there are doubts about their defense after giving up 25 scoring shots to a Hawthorn team that isn’t that strong up forward.

Both sides will look to improve on their performances last week and get on the scoreboard. While scoring points hasn’t been a significant strength for Carlton so far, it is worth noting that Harry McKay and Charlie Curnow combined for seven goals when they last met North Melbourne.

In conclusion, the game promises to be an exciting contest, and I believe Carlton will come away with the victory. Betting on the over could also be a wise choice as both sides will aim to score more this week.
