Greater Western Sydney Giants vs Carlton Blues Preview
The Giants and the Blues played out a thriller when they met at Metricon last year and there should be plenty of feeling about Saturday’s game in Sydney.
As far as the finals are concerned, this is a must-win game for these two clubs with time quickly running out.
Currently sitting 10th, the Giants still find themselves six points off Richmond for a spot in the eight, and it’s fair to say last week’s lucky draw against North didn’t help matters.
Carlton, on the other hand, has even more work to do sitting 14th.
The Blues have won only one of their last five games, although there was a bit to like in back-to-back losses to Sydney and West Coast before the bye.
There’s no denying GWS has held Carlton’s number since they entered the competition though – evident in the fact the Blues have won only three of their previous 10 meetings.
In that time the Giants have posted a perfect 4-0 record as the home favourite, which includes a 3-1 record at the line.
The bye could see Carlton come out firing, but sometimes a week off is enough to create some rust.
With the Giants likely eager to prove a point following last week’s rough outing in Hobart, GWS looks a good bet to get one back.
