Geelong Cats vs Carlton Blues Preview
This is perhaps the most exciting matchup of the season so far. Despite being the underdogs in this contest, expect Carlton to hand the Cats their first defeat of the season.
Geelong’s form this season is quite strong, but Michael Voss has done an incredible job coaching the Blues, improving their forward line and midfield significantly.
Not to mention key players like Harry McKay and Charlie Curnow who will almost certainly cause havoc for Geelong’s defense. Their brilliant duo of Marc Pittonet and Tom De Koning have breathed life into Carlton’s midfield. Expect that to continue on Saturday..
However, this will be no easy victory for the Blues, so expect it to be a close game.
