Where and when: Giants Stadium, Saturday 18th June at 7:25pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Round 15, 2020: Giants 6.12 (48) def Carlton 5.9 (39) at Metricon Stadium.
Last five H2H: Giants 4 – Carlton 1
Match Preview: The Blues launched sweeping reviews after their disappointing loss to West Coast so it will be interesting to see how the team reacts today. The Eagles know how to pull unexpected wins out but the Giants are not as resilient and they know how to disappoint their handful of fans. The Giants are clearly the better list at present but if the Blues get a sniff, and kick straight, they could undoubtedly upset the Giants.
So how badly do the Giants want the win and will they give the Blues an opening?
Thommo Watch:
Carlton
Sam Walsh, Cripps and Docherty are the most popular Blues although a few teams still have Dow stinking up their benches.
Thommo’s Tip: GWS by 20 points (tipping record 19.5/37).
No late changes.
Subs:
GWS – Lachie Ash
Carlton – Jack Newnes
Ahhh fck De Boer tagging Walsh
Jelly injured but back out there
How good would it be if the AFL pissed these stupid byes off & just gave all teams the same 1 week off
Just saw a decision against Owies that should have been play on……
The ball was knocked from his possession before he was tackled.
The umpires couldn’t have seen that from where they were….LOL
Is Walsh on the bench to deter De Boer tag?
Getting a football lesson from 1 of the best
De boer starting @ 1/2 fwd each time & then moving on to Walsh according to the commentators
If Briggs could hold on to a few of these marks he’d actually be putting together a decent scoring half.
Glad the SCT team convinced to trade in Whitfield @ the moment
De Boer is one good tagger shutting down Walsh. now get off him haha
sad time to be a blues supporter 🙁
Carlton are looking incredibly poor. Second rate at almost everything and they look hopeless everywhere.
DeBoer has Walsh in his pocket, restricted him to one touch in almost 30 minutes but the other Carlton mids are doing nothing to help him.
Seriously this is hopeless footy for a team that should be well rested. Giants haven’t needed to get out of 3rd gear.
Greene reported
Someone tell me how Kelly was kept to 2 disposals in 3rd quarter?? Tagged? Me sad
he rolled his ankle in the first quarter i think its affecting him.
Gimpy after an ankle injury and subsequently not in and around the contest as much. Definitely isn’t running as freely as he normally would.
I Put the C on him
This is the Worst round ever
stinks like rotten fish
We should all get
An extra 1 million to spend
& 4 more trades to to make up for it
Estimate on Walsh $ change?
He’s done well for a 2 nd yr player
Swap to an improving Rowell for cash gen will tempt a few
Rowell has posted a 54 and a 70 since returning from injury. Meanwhile, this is Walsh’s worst score for the season (next lowest is 89) while being tagged by one of the top 3 taggers in the game. If someone trades Walsh for Rowell, they’ll get what they deserve.
Common blues can we just have some fairdinkim effort 4 the rest of the year please Mick the desperate Carlton supporter
