Brisbane Lions vs Carlton Blues Preview
Brisbane still stand a chance at finishing on top of the ladder as they also look to build on their momentum heading into the finals.
A victory over the Swans last week was enough to ensure a home final over the opening two rounds, but with goal-kicking still proving a problem, Chris Fagan will be hoping his side can right some of their wrongs before things get serious.
Carlton’s season is over after losing to the Crows last Sunday and it’s tough to see them squeaking out a win.
The Blues have notoriously struggled at the Gabba in recent years, so it comes as no shock to find them as +25.5 underdogs in the market.
Carlton are 0-3 in their last three games as the away underdog against Brisbane and they’ve also allowed the fifth-most goals in the league.
With the Lions looking to make a statement and maybe grab the top spot, don’t be surprised if they pile on some points here.
