CARLTON v GWS
Saturday 24 May @ Marvel Stadium
Two thoroughly disappointing sides in general and last start losers are treading a tightrope.
One of them could well be facing seasonal oblivion with a bad loss and a coach at stake?
Carlton amazingly had leads at the first three changes in Sydney in what was a frail, dank and damp affair.
But once the Sydney big names got rolling in the last, the Blues couldn't go with them. Carlton has one of the best top 5 to 6 player groups and did nothing.

Poor in their loss to the Swans, they looked to have turned a big corner over Geelong then gave it all back and more with a horrible effort against Fremantle.
Hard not to be frustrated with the Giants simply as they have much to give and not that many excuses. This game was even at home.
How do you even consider this match could go to a plan? It is just as likely one side blows the other away as a draw.
But GWS is more than capable of kicking a score whereas not sure Carlton is. So Giants to win but who knows?
Match Selection: GWS by 8 points
Suggested Bets: GWS 1-39 @ $2.60
