Geelong Cats vs Carlton Blues Preview
Don’t be a fool like yours truly and write off Geelong, especially when they are playing at home.
The Cats go into this game coming off a 61-point demolition of Hawthorn at GMHBA Stadium last Friday night and will go in firm favourites against Carlton at the Cattery this Saturday night.
It is easy to forget they did actually finish on top of the ladder after Round 23 last season and looked on the way to beat the Tigers at half-time of last year’s preliminary final.
Geelong had no problem scoring last weekend and perhaps the shorter quarters mean they can get more out of Gazza in his old age.
Carlton and the Teague Train must be operated by a private company, given they tend to turn up late.
The Blues came back from seven goals down to eventually lose to the Dees by a point last weekend.
It would have been an amazing comeback, but they know they need to play four solid quarters of football and not just rely on the Dom Sheed method.
They have no chance of an upset over Geelong at the Cattery.
This will result in a 0-3 start to a season for the eighth consecutive year.
Carlton needs to get a winning-culture for the green-shoots to spring up, there’s plenty of signs to be hopeful – but it just won’t begin in this game.
Cats by plenty.
