Western Bulldogs v Carlton Preview, Marvel Stadium

Both these teams are coming off bitterly disappointing losses. The Bulldogs were blown
away by Port Adelaide, while Carlton flew out of the blocks against GWS before losing
comfortably. But the Blues have far more breathing room by sitting in second, while the
Bulldogs have a fight on their hands just to qualify for the finals. Carlton will be without
defender Mitch McGovern, while stars Charlie Curnow and Jacob Weitering have pulled up
sore, but are expected to play. Carlton will be desperate to give captain Patrick Cripps the
perfect 200th game.

TIP: Carlton by 14 points, Cripps to have 30 or more possessions
