The Demons and Blues have already played a pair of slobber-knocker matches this season. During the first meetings at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Round 12, Melbourne ground out a 61-44 victory. In the Round 22 rematch, Carlton scored a narrow 60-56 win. Carlton is the hottest team in the league, having won 10 of 11 games.
The Blues will have to play against Melbourne without Harry McKay, who has a concussion. Carlton’s Jack Martin is at the Tribunal Tuesday night, hoping to avoid a suspension.
Melbourne had a large inside 50 advantage during its loss to Collingwood in the qualification final last week but couldn’t score enough to top the minor premiership-winning Magpies.
The Blues have been excellent at getting possession this season. Carlton led the AFL by winning the contested ball by 10.1 per game. Melbourne was one of the few teams to challenge the Blues in this area, winning the contested ball contest in each of the team’s matchups.
The over/under for this match has been set at 155.5 points.

The Power were the best team at scoring from the center bounce during the regular season. Port Adelaide didn’t show any of that spark during its qualifying final. The Power fell behind early and took a 123-75 beatdown from Brisbane.
GWS has been an efficient team away from home this season. The Giants earned a league-high eight road wins this season. Toby Greene has been GWS’ most impactful scorer away from home, registering 25 goals during the Giants’ eight road wins.
Port Adelaide picked up a big 136-85 win over GWS during the regular season. The Power’s victory was an important one. Prior to the win over the Giants, Port Adelaide has lost four straight.
The Power struggled down the stretch this season, losing five of their final eight games. Port Adelaide has plenty of scoring depth to snap out of its current slumber. The Power has three 30-goal scorers. Jeremy Finlayson leads the team with 38 goals but was shut out in the qualification final last week.
Todd Marshall 34 goals and Sam Powell-Pepper 31 have each contributed two goals last week. Green has scored at an incredible clip for GWS this season. He has tallied 61 goals. He has tallied at least one goal in the Giants’ last eight matches.
The over/under for this match has been set at 175.5 points.
