Expert Analysis and Prediction
While Carlton is on a nice, three-game winning streak, the Blues will find taking out the elite Port Adelaide Power too tough a task in round 7. Charlie Dixon and Robbie Gray will almost certainly be the best two players on the pitch in this contest and really, Port Adelaide is just too good for Carlton to keep pace with in this affair. Not only have the Power lost just once this season, but they’ve held each of their last four opponents to 48 points or less while Carlton has given up 51 points or more in each of their last five games while allowing 77 points or more in two of those contests. Carlton will be full of confidence in this clash, but it just won’t be enough for them to get the huge upset of the top-ranked team in the AFL right now. Keep it simple and back the better team in this one – Port Adelaide!
