Richmond Tigers vs Carlton Blues Preview
Richmond play their second Thursday night blockbuster in a row against bitter rival in Carlton.
The Tiges head into this clash having won five of their last six with their only loss coming via a six point loss to Sydney just before their bye.
Carlton stumbled against Collingwood but bounced back with a win against Essendon last Friday night.
They managed that victory despite having just one more scoring shot than the Bombers, while losing the centre clearances 8-13 and contested marks 7-13.
Carlton is in a good position through 14 rounds, sitting a game clear in fourth and just one win off equal top spot.
As of writing, this preview the Tigers are slight favourites in a market that changes by the minute and this is a game that has plenty of consequences for both the winner and loser.
I’m tipping a close one.
