Carlton beat West Coast by 65 points last season, without Charlie Curnow or Harry McKay, still scoring 99 points. The dual-threat could be reunited in the knick of time this week and it is predicted that they will run ragged in the forward 50 and lift the Blues to their first win of the season and in a big way.
West Coast’s backline and defensive structure is in absolute tatters and presents the perfect opportunity for Carlton’s attack to find the spark that saves their 2025 season.
The last two times Charlie Curnow has faced the Eagles he has kicked 10 goals and 9 goals in two matches played in 2023.
- Carlton have beaten West Coast by an average of 76.8 points in their last 4 matches.

- Charlie Curnow has kicked 19 goals in his last 2 games against West Coast.

Carlton threw away another lead, this time against the Pies on Thursday night, scoring just 17 points in the second half after a 1-point third quarter, to lose to third biggest rivals 63-46.
With a 38.6% efficiency inside 50 it is no wonder why, failing to get any real quality forward entries against Collingwood, taken just 4 marks inside the area. The Blues are strong at centre and the stoppages ranked fourth in the AFL with 39.6 clearances per game, however true chances are failing to present themselves with Carlton below the league average with 51.7 inside 50s per game.
Despite their winless start the Blues are doing plenty right, keeping their opponents under 83 points in all four losses and it is just a matter of time before their attack finds its feet in 2025, with the return of Harry McKay a potential boost this weekend.
