AFL 2019 Round 13: Carlton v Western Bulldogs, 7:25pm AEST Marvel Stadium

[Gralin]

​

Where and when: Marvel Stadium, Saturday, June 15, 7.25pm AEST

Melbourne Forecast

Partly cloudy. Slight (20%) chance of a shower. Light winds.

What it means for Carlton: After a morale-boosting victory last week, the Blues will be hoping to show it was no flash in the pan. Another win here could be massive for caretaker David Teague's hopes of keeping the job full-time.

What it means for Western Bulldogs: The bye came at the perfect time for the Bulldogs, who had lost three straight games going into it. Refreshed and reenergised, they simply have to snap that streak against the Blues.

The stat: Due to a quirk in the fixture, this will be the third time the Western Bulldogs have met Carlton in its last 14 games.

The match-up: Patrick Cripps v Marcus Bontempelli
Two of the best young midfielders in the competition, this pair loves playing against each other and are frequently matched at stoppages. Cripps got the better of the dual in round five, winning 37 disposals and 11 clearances.

Who will come out on top in this huge match-up? Picture: AFL Photos

It's a big week for: Harry McKay
The imposing Carlton forward was best on ground when these two sides last met. Simply unstoppable in the air, he finished with four goals, 20 disposals, 11 marks and five contested marks. Another performance like that could lift the Blues to victory.

Big call: Bont to get the better of Cripps

Prediction: Western Bulldogs by 11 points

Will be interesting to see if last week’s win against the Lions was an aberration or the product of change in strategy and structures

 

[Chaisa]

Good thing this was on the same time as a World Cup match, becaue this looks a total bludger.

 

[Hamingja]

We don't get to play Carlton until round 23 and the Dogs play them twice in 8 games.

Your ladder position will be hurting from this.

Could probably be a 150+ point win that.

Could probably be a 150+ point win that.

As bad as Carlton have been since 07 we actually have never really got hold of them to that extent. We'd have beaten most teams in the AFL by over 80 points in that period I reckon but Carlton aren't one of them.

Thats quite an amazijg stat.

Little confidence going in to this match, the Dogs have been terrible for the last 6 weeks or so

 

[flamethrower]

Carlton match up really well against the Bulldogs with their tall forward line against a backline filled with half back flankers, and Beveridge refuses to tag so expect Cripps to crack 50 possies. Dogs will struggle to score as their plan A is to bomb it long - Casboult and Weitering will have a field day.

Prediction: Carlton 19.5.119 Bulldogs 8.17.65

 

[RAPPA]

With the bye and the result last time they met, expect the dogs to come out firing. Bont will have a big one

What’s your VFL team up to that day? May as well have 2 weeks rest before the finals

 

[BG__]

This is the kind of match up that can be really good to watch (both teams sensing a chance to win, get to watch some young stars and future stars, some exciting brand of footy, close game with some scoring) or it can be absolutely ****house with 2 teams spudding it up all night long in a **** show. Hopefully this is the former and not the latter.

 

[Adz]

Unbelievable Dogs we’re favourites. Threw a gorilla on Carlton today.

 

[Drewie11]

Walsh v Smith will be good

Bont gets umpired by another set of rules.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Carlton embrace the gws reserves gag with the orange socks

 

[Art Vandelay_]

That effort sums up Carlton. Soft squibbery from Curnow and they’ve given him a decade of footy.

 

[Bostonian]

It's easy to see why umpires get abused.

You’ll get up. Big game. Need the points. They’ll be stinging after the loss earlier in the year to Carlton.

He'd wreck you though. Make you look physically pathetic with people questioning your manhood.

Caleb Daniel love, I really dont get it, lol.

Nah mate, you’ll win this

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Charlie Curnow gobbing off, wowee - imagine being that s**t & thinking you can get involved in a verbal stoush

Focus on the pill.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Umps have rocks in their heads.
