Carlton Blues vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Preview
The Blues and the Roos follow a similar script into Round 7.
Carlton lost by 35 points last week to Fremantle in Perth, while North was on the receiving end of a 60-point beatdown at the hands of the Cats in Tassie.
Despite their loss to the Dockers, the Blues have opened deserving 25.5 point favourites this week back at Marvel, a line that reflects just how poorly the Kangaroos are playing.
North currently ranks towards the bottom in most of the major statistical categories, and as we saw last week, their basic lack of possession and contested footy are two big areas of concern.
The Blues have certainly come crashing back down to earth since their 3-0 start, but this should be a nice game for them to get back on track against the wooden spoon favourites.
Carlton actually lost quite convincingly to North last year, but with Patrick Cripps back from injury and the forward line firing on all cylinders, this is basically their game to lose.
