GWS Giants vs Carlton Blues match preview
Carlton have had a couple of hard-fought matches already this season.
They drew in the first round when Richmond snatched a goal in the last 17 seconds of the game to tie things up, and also managed to hold out Geelong last week.
Although it's still early days, Carlton's already showing form that might take them to the finals.

The Giants weren't able to come back from an 8-goal second quarter against them, giving West Coast only their third win since July 2021.
And now the Giants will face an even steeper task if they lapse against Carlton, who are currently a stronger side than the Eagles.
Even though the Blues have only ever won once at Giants stadium, we reckon they have enough to take home the points here.
