We should have\u00a0a packed house under the lid at Marvel on Sunday for this 9<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0vs 10<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0blockbuster.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dogs were underwhelming and resembled everything but a finals team in last week\u2019s 23-point defeat to North Melbourne, while the Blues\u00a0put St Kilda to the sword nice and early in a 44-point demolition job.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Injuries are again the storyline at the kennel\u00a0with Tim English suffering a knee injury last week, which\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0bode well against a Blues team that\u00a0has been one of the best at controlling possession and limiting turnover.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those two improvements under Josh Fraser have made a massive difference when it comes to ball movement and increasing scoring\u00a0chances, and\u00a0given the Dogs forward line has been misfiring for weeks, this\u00a0shapes as\u00a0a very\u00a0tough test.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Carlton to Win\u00a0@\u00a0$1.72<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Value:<\/strong> Carlton 1-39\u00a0@\u00a0$2.30<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
