Where and when: Marvel Stadium, Sunday August 4, 3.20pm AEST
What it means for Carlton: It’s another valuable opportunity to build momentum to finish the season. Having won five of seven games under David Teague, the Blues have the chance to potentially leapfrog the Swans and move up another spot on the AFL ladder.
What it means for West Coast: Top spot is in the sights of the Eagles. A game behind the Cats, they might look at this contest as an opportunity to close in on the minor premiership and potentially secure a handy percentage boost. They’re starting to look ominous.
The stat: Remember when there were doubts about West Coast’s ability to win on the road, particularly in Victoria? The Eagles have won their past eight games at the MCG and Marvel Stadium, dating back to the start of 2018.
The match-up: Jacob Weitering v Josh Kennedy
Kennedy returned to form with seven goals against North Melbourne last week, while he has a fantastic record against his former side. He’s kicked bags of 10 and six against Carlton in recent years, with Weitering likely to be handed the task of quelling his influence this week. Weitering is one of this year’s big improvers, but can he stop Kennedy?
It’s a big week for: Liam Jones
Stopping Kennedy will be hard enough. Then there’s Jack Darling. And Jake Waterman. And Willie Rioli. And Liam Ryan. If the Blues are to overcome the Eagles, they will need a defensive masterclass. Jones could be key to this, should he continue to play loose in his ‘safety’ role in the backline and act as the side’s main interceptor.
Father Dougal’s Tip: Eagles by 15.

What shocker of a start for Yeo. 5 points from 66% de. 5 clangers, 3 frees against from 3 pos and 3 tackles. Playing on Cripps.
Yeo 42 point quarter, now 47. Keep going Yeo.
Amazing effort from Yeo,after such a horrid start to finish with 110 points.
Very last decision to trade Walsh to Bont!Hope Bont comes to the party after Walsh’ start.
Flying Ryan. Courageous mark!!

there have been 50pts over-allocated, so expect some scores to go backwards after scaling.
