Carlton v Geelong – Friday Night Preview, MCG

Both teams are fresh off the bye and set for a MCG blockbuster, just eight weeks after they
played out an entertaining thriller, won by Geelong. But the Cats have fallen away since
then, losing five of their last six games. Geelong captain Patrick Dangerfield will return from
another hamstring injury, giving a huge boost to the Cats’ struggling midfield. Carlton
famously fired after their mid-season bye last year, but are in a completely different position
this time around, sitting second, just behind rampaging ladder-leaders Sydney.

TIP: Carlton by 11 points, Patrick Cripps for 25 or more possessions
