We'll endeavour to run through the form, incorporate appropriate stats and also supply a betting prediction which won't always just be who will win.

CARLTON v BRISBANE

Thursday 10 July @ Marvel Stadium

Another fascinating decision to have Carlton kick off the round but as it turns out, there could well be plenty for the news breakers.

Ironically it could precipitate a call on Michael Voss and if so, it would come against his former club as Captain and Coach.

Carlton just can't get out of their own way. Their form is bad on the park and not much better coming from off it. It appears the drums are beating.

Nothing changed last week against Collingwood. It's no disgrace to lose to the Pies in their form but near 10 goals hurts the cause.

Match Carlton Brisbane Ground
Last time they met      11.5 [71] 14.15 [99] Gabba
Last 10 matches 2 wins 8 wins  
Notes 2 of the last 3 meetings have been in Finals in Brisbane.
Carlton has not been high scoring in this fixture with only 1 x 100+ points since 2013.
Brisbane themselves were not atop their game for the whole course against Port Adelaide but in the end held a comfortable margin.

They started slowly but once the John Denver singalong began, they all joined in. As is often the case, the opening quarter margin becomes the reality at the end.

There are deficiencies to iron out and maintaining that that forward structure will work in September could be questionable.

But they are still a good side and as long as they play decently that should hold the Blues at bay. Suspect Carlton might come out swinging though. They've led early in games many times this year even when losing.

Match Selection: Brisbane by 35 points

Suggested Bets: Carlton to lead at Quarter Time @ $2.80
