The Blues are definitely warming up and the display against Geelong last weekend has elevated them in the eyes of many punters. There are still inefficiencies that have not been dealt with and against a high octane team like the Crows, my opinion is they will come undone.
Adelaide struggled for any type of ascendancy against the Dockers last weekend but we have witnessed over their first 5 games of the year just how damaging they can be in attack when things are clicking. They return back home where they are averaging over 100 pts per game and have won two straight over Carlton.
My expectation in this game is that Adelaide will force the Blues into making mistakes and will give little leeway in their defensive 50. They are the 2nd best team at restricting opponents from taking marks Inside 50 which will see Carlton struggle for accuracy in front of the sticks.
Take Adelaide to win 1-39 & Carlton to go Under their Team Total. If Darcy Fogarty plays, get on him for 2+ goals. Jordan Dawson at 25+ touches is easy money.
- Adelaide have won 3 straight and 2 in a row in Adelaide vs Carlton.
- Carlton have kicked more points than goals in 4 of their 7 games this year.

Adelaide lost their 3rd game in 4 matches last weekend going down to the Dockers 85-67 in Perth.
The Crows never led in the matchup while the Dockers stretched the lead to 42 points toward the end of the 3rd quarter. Adelaide had trouble containing their opposition midfielders and struggled to gain any ascendancy in their forward half.
Riley Thilthorpe was damaging to start the season and despite kicking three goals in this game didn’t do much else and left the field in the 3rd term with a finger injury. The team overall were way down on their average disposal count as well as efficiency with the ball throughout the game, signifying pressure from their opponent.

The Blues are slowly but surely working themselves back into the fray with their third straight win at the weekend. The game was also their most convincing being it was against the Cats, their previous two wins being the Eagles and Kangaroos which most teams are expected to beat this year.
Carlton were much more effective in their attacking 50 scoring more goals than behinds for only the 3rd time this season. They continue to rank 2nd in the league in Inside 50’s and with the conversion rate lifting, the scoring will continue to increase.
Harry McKay and Charlie Curnow kicked 3 goals each with McKay also laying 2 tackles and having 2 clearances in the game. Sam Walsh once again starred with 30 touches for the Blues.
