Round 15 Preview

The Carlton Blues have been consistent over the past few weeks, which has seen them near the top of the AFL table. However, the same can’t be said for the Cats who have shown that they can’t perform in big matches and fail to deliver throughout the entire four quarters.

Although the Blues are favourites to emerge victorious, it is hard to see them going into every 20-minute break with the lead as the Cats are likely to start the game strong – an area that they have shown they are good at in recent weeks.

It is hard to see how the Lions are underdogs for the match, considering they have won their past two matches in dominant fashion. However, one can wonder if they can perform away from Brisbane and in a stadium like the Adelaide Oval, where Port are at their best.

A key piece of the Lions’ success has been the trio of Lachie Neale, Dayne Zorko and Josh Dunkley in the middle of the paddock. Easily racking up possessions the trio are at great odds of $3.95 to rack up 25 or more touches each.

The Sydney derby is the game to watch this round, with both the Giants and Swans entering the match in good form. While the Swans are the favourites and will walk away with the win, expect GWS to keep the match competitive.

It’s impossible to go past Errol Gulden in the diposals market. The young 22-year-old has been playing like he has been in the league for 10+ seasons and manages to rack up possessions with ease due to his skill and speed.

Although they remain competitive for the opening three quarters, the Kangaroos have always struggled this season in the last 20 minutes of the game as they run out of energy.

The Melbourne Demons have been out of form for several weeks, while the Kangaroos have been at their best in recent weeks, including pushing the Magpies to the limits last week and only falling to a one-point defeat. Can the Kangaroos finally pull off the upset of the season?

If the West Coast Eagles have any chance of staying competitive throughout the match, they will need to rely on their forwards, who will get them over the line with multiple goals. Returning to the team, forward Oscar Allen is one to watch.

Both teams haven’t won in the past two weeks, and the match could go either way. Due to this reason, an upset from the West Coast Eagles could potentially be on the cards.

The Fremantle Dockers will likely have the majority of possession to begin the game, as they always seem to get off to an amazing and strong performance in front of their home fans.

The Gold Coast Suns have constantly struggled when competing away from home, while the Dockers have always been known as a strong team when playing in the home ground. However, don’t expect the scoreline to be more than 40 points between the two clubs.
