Last time they met

Round 2, 2018 - Carlton 9.13 (67) defeated by Gold Coast Suns 15.11 (101)

  • Tom Lynch continued his incredible form against the Blues, booting 8 goals
  • Kreuzer was a late out
  • We were reactive to the Gold Coast movement, who were in the midst of a three game winning streak
  • Gold Coast laid 94 tackles
  • The skill errors of Carlton were woeful

What I'm excited about

  • Gold Coast getting their much needed win leaves Carlton in a situation where we could be the more desperate side.
  • This presents as one of the more "winnable" games for the remainder of the season for the Blues.
  • The unstoppable force that is Tom Lynch is out for the season and won't take part this week.
  • Kreuzer should be back and at full strength


What I'm concerned about

  • Gold Coast winning last week could be the catalyst for change that they needed.
  • Playing in the heat is something we struggled with against the Brisbane Lions.
  • Losing Jones and Fisher for the season. Both have been important for our structure.
  • Jarrod Witts is a very underrated ruckman, coming off a 59 hit out game last week.


Team Selection

IN- Matthew Kreuzer | Darcy Lang | Angus Schumacher

OUT- Liam Jones | Zac Fisher | Matthew Lobbe

Kreuzer should be back this week along with Darcy lang who will replace the injured Zac Fisher.

Schumacher had a breakout game in the VFL on the weekend and it could be a chance to get some senior footy into his 2018 campaign with Liam Jones sidelined.

Go Blues!
