Richmond Tigers vs Carlton Blues Preview

An 11-1 record in Richmond’s favour suggests this isn’t a great rivalry, but make no mistake, there will be plenty of feeling in the air on Thursday night at the ‘G.

The Tigers will take to the field with revenge in mind after losing by 25 points to Carlton back in Round 1, while Damien Hardwick’s side won’t be short on motivation with a spot in the top eight up for grabs.

Carlton also has plenty to play for with Brisbane, Melbourne, and Fremantle all on the bye.

Depending on the margin, the Blues could find themselves on top of the ladder at the end of the round, a deserving reward for a team that has won four of its last five.

The last time these two sides met the Blues stormed home in the final term on the back of Patrick Cripps. The skipper kicked three to start the year, and Carlton should feel even more confident this time around with superstar midfielder Sam Walsh on the field.

Up forward, Carlton has only grown stronger with Charlie Curnow leading the Coleman Medal chase, while Sam Docherty is enjoying a purple patch at the minute with 30+ disposals in his last two games.

The Blues arguably boast the most impressive midfield in the competition right now, and that could be the deciding factor again. Carlton’s disposal efficiency has been among the best all season, while their work around the clearances – as the Tigers found out in Round 1 – has been second to none.

Richmond should feel good knowing Tom Lynch is likely to play, but there are still concerns around Dusty’s health.

With a chance to prove themselves against another flag contender (again), the Blues should prove tough to beat with plenty of confidence on their side.
