Carlton Blues vs Greater Western Sydney Giants Preview
Barring the unlikely event West Coast beats Brisbane at the Gabba, the Giants are basically guaranteed a finals spot no matter what happens this weekend.
If they defeat the hapless Blues and both the Lions and Pies win, GWS can venture as high as seventh, setting up a huge ‘Battle of the Bridge’ Derby next week against rivals Sydney.
Not surprisingly, the Giants will head into their finals home and away clash as the heavy favourites against a Carlton team that is basically counting down the days until season’s end.
After another lost year, David Teague’s days are basically numbered as Blues head coach, and with so much uncertainty going on off the field, it’s hard to imagine the players’ minds will be focused entirely on this weekend’s game.
To make matters worse, the Giants won by 36 points over the Blues when they met back in June, extending GWS’ winning streak over Carlton to four.
Coming off two huge wins over Geelong and reigning premiers Richmond, the Giants are probably as close to a lock as you can get.
