Where and when: MCG, Sunday, July 7, 1.10pm AEST
What it means for Carlton: The Blues have looked a different side since David Teague took the reins as interim coach, winning two of their last three matches and playing an exciting brand of footy. Victory here will continue to build some nice momentum.
What it means for Melbourne: Having started the year as one of the premiership favourites, defeat will see the Dees slip beneath the Blues on the ladder. That is simply unacceptable and must provide Melbourne with some motivation this weekend.
The stat: Ed Curnow racked up an incredible 16 clearances in Carlton’s victory over Fremantle on Sunday. Only eight players have had more in a single game.
The match-up: Clayton Oliver v Jack Silvagni
Having nullified the impact of Nat Fyfe throughout the second half on Sunday, could we see David Teague trust Silvagni with a role on one of Melbourne’s big-bodied midfielders? Oliver appears the obvious choice, with his work in close crucial to the Demons’ success.
It’s a big week for: Mitch McGovern (Carlton)
With both Harry McKay and Charlie Curnow hobbled by injury, a lot of responsibility falls on the shoulders of McGovern to lead Carlton’s forward line this week. He hasn’t kicked multiple goals in five matches, so must step up to inspire the attack on Sunday.
Father Dougal’s Tip: Blues by 10 points if the Great Bearded one sits out.

CONFIRMED: Max Gawn OUT
Surely everyone is copping a donut with Boak and Gawn being late outs?
Boak, Daniel, Whitfield, Gawn, Cripps.
You’d think so, Andy. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself.
Two donuts for some of my oppts….I dont have boak.
2 Doughnuts along with Cameron covering for Cripps
Missed the carnage, don’t have Boak, Daniel or Whitfield and put Lycett in for Gawn yesterday. Rare benefits of having to buy on the cheap. Did cop the Hore carnage tho to avoid a donut in the mid/fwd..
LATE CHANGES
Carlton: Nil
Melbourne: Max Gawn (ankle) replaced in selected side by Braydon Preuss
FINAL INTERCHANGES
Carlton: Sam Petrevski-Seton, Darcy Lang, Dale Thomas, Michael Gibbons
Melbourne: Angus Brayshaw, Marty Hore, Jay Lockhart, Kyle Dunkley
Tipping an arm wrestle and entertaining match…. Seasons first drawn game??!!
Agreed, Dihi. Both teams missing their best players, will be interesting.
Goldstein
Or
Steph Martin
defo Martin and especially against a reckless GWS….
Preuss if you have the luxury of trades in hand. On the bubble and should go well!
Ok thanks Martin it is then. I have 12 trades
If I was trading Gawn (which I’m not), I’d give serious consideration to Preuss. On the bubble, pretty cheap and could earn some decent cash. Absolutely dominating in the VFL and with Melbs forward woes, he could easily hold his spot, espically if Gawn misses more than one.
Ha… looks like I’m alone on this one. He scored 111 without Goldstein a couple of years ago, and 97 earlier this year. Blues today, then Dogs next week, who opposition ruckmen are scoring well against.
I’m with you Chips!
P R E E U U U S S !! 😉
Lol… never in doubt 😉
I reckon close game. Blues by 9 goals.
Boak Gawn Whitfield thanks for the three Krispy Kremes and first league loss for season yippee.
Whitfield out ??
Was never in. I went early. Can’t see him in line up, I could be wrong.
Was in Thursday, withdrawn on Friday.
Melbourne’s kicking is deplorable. Hope Carlton put this rabble down.
Anyone seen the Carlton Football Club?
SC relevant scores at QT
BLUES
Murphy – 37
Newman – 23
Walsh – 23
Simpson – 11
Setterfield – 9
DEES
T. McDonald – 57
Salem – 39
Oliver – 31
K. Dunkley – 12
Brayshaw – 10
Hore – 5
Picked a good week to finally trade McDonald out of my Tech League side.
Hore done for the day. Dislocated shoulder apparently.
Oof. Anyone still have him?
Yep. Fark. Won’t be able to afford my trades now!
Saw on twitter from SC he is still in 70’000+ team….
UPDATE: Hore has a broken collarbone
Was going Hore to Hurn at the start of the week but changed plans and went Young to Marshall to avoid Boak’s donut. Great
This weeks most popular trade: Hore to Sicily
Actually on that, can somebody that knows how roughly calculate what Hore will be worth after lockout? He’s $409k with a BE of 117 and a score of 3. TIA
Around 342k.
approx. $357k. Can still afford Sicily … just. Phew.
but it has still made what was looking likely a v good score this week, look ordinary and Setters isn’t helping matters either.
Tell me about it AS,was looking like winning most of my matchups due to opp. not covering Gawn,but now Hores score gunna bring me back to the pack.Ffs!
I have hore and sicily
i’ve got logue on the bench. Thinking just wait to logue inflates enough I can merge logue and hore into a premo?
Hore with a broken collarbone. Will be interesting to see if we’ll see him play again before the season’s up.
Seeing though you’re a Dees supporter, bAps, what’s Dunkley’s JS like?
Where’d you get the idea I’m a Melbourne supporter? I’m actually a Hawks man haha.
Ah, sh*t. Misread your comment about whether “we’ll” play Hore again. My bad lol.
Dees have been superb but this umpiring has been baffling
is fanfooty down ?
Yep
Again……
Oliver having a good game for only 16 touches. Watch him rack up 14 to get to 30…
Setterfield is such a dud. Two eases misses and needed to soccer it just then and the Blues were on.
LOL! As soon as I post that he lays a great tackle and goals…
So Preuss is currently on 137, will make over $80k this week and have a BE around -45.
Don’t understand the TDs earlier. If you went Martin instead, you’d still have to use another trade to get Gawn back in, could score less and won’t make nearly as much cash?!?
Guys apparently footywire has live supercoach scores. Anyway, here are the relevant players:

Geesh was tossing up c on oliver or neale…….went neale of course.
Carlton are a rabble.
Melb are in poor form but Carlton only got into the game after Melb lost 3 players (1st, 2nd & 3rd quarters). Blues also lost a player late but should have done better.
A rabble that, in 4 games under Teague, has lost two games by an average of 4 points, managed to score 100 points in both of those losses, and has beaten two top-8 sides, including a current top-4 side in Brisbane. And has done it in the last two games without Cripps, McKay, or Charlie Curnow.
Yep, some rabble.
Plus, stats:
Carlton under Teague:
Points-for: 89 (4th)
Points-against: 87 (15th)
Percentage: 103 % (8th)
W/L Percentage: 50 % (2/4)
Carlton under Bolton (2019):
Points-for: 67 (17th)
Points-against: 90 (15th)
Percentage: 74 % (17th)
W/L Percentage: 9 % (1/11)
We were a rabble under Bolton. Though we may still be a work-in-progress, we’re hardly a rabble under Teague.
Also, “poor form”? A month or so of crapness might be poor form. Melbourne has been like this all year.
That’s not form. That’s just their baseline.
Yep – Melb are in poor form. Void of confidence. Ripe for the picking without Gawn, Lever, Jetta, Melksham, Garlett, Vandenberg etc……..they became even riper losing a soldier in 1st quarter, another in 2nd and another in 3rd. 1 player left on bench had them vulnerable and Carlton could not finish the job. In fact the pattern of the game proves this in that when Melb had full (or close to full) contingent, Carlton never looked likely. Melb are average and Carlton are worse. Looks, smells and feels like a rabble.
