St Kilda Saints vs Carlton Blues Preview

Fifth and seventh meet under the roof on Sunday in what is a huge clash between two sides hoping to launch a late assault on the top four.

Carlton’s resurgence has been nothing short of outstanding over the last six weeks, rattling off as many wins in succession – the most recent over heavy Premiership favourites Collingwood.

Patrick Cripps and Charlie Curnow have been at the forefront of the turnaround, and they should have revenge in mind after suffering a 22-point loss to the Saints earlier in the year.

Whether St Kilda takes confidence away from that game remains to be seen, but after finally kicking a triple-digit score in last week’s victory over Hawthorn, the Saints might finally be coming good at the right time.

Speaking of scoring, that’s arguably been the most impressive part of Carlton’s game – amassing 14 or more goals in every game of this recent winning streak.

There’s no doubt defensive mastermind Ross Lyon will be cooking up a scheme to combat Curnow, but after tearing apart Collingwood in the second half last week, the Blues almost look unstoppable right now.

Belief is huge at this time of year, and it’s hard to think of a team playing with more confidence right now than Carlton.

Considering the Blues have also given up the third-fewest points in the league, this does shape as a huge challenge for a Saints side with plenty left to prove.
