Carlton head into Sundays game against the hawks off the back of consecutive poor games against the Saints and Brisbane. Hawthorn are coming of a shock loss against Brisbane. which could see their finals chances take a huge hit. The blues are on track to claim this years wooden spoon while Hawthorn are 1 game outside the Top 8.
Recent history has the Hawks clear favourites as Carlton has managed just 1 win against them in the past 15 games.
Both teams are missing key ruck man, with McEvoy and Marc Pittonet both injured with the latter a game time decision. Carlton has its own ruck issues with Matthew Kruezer missing majority of our last game with a heart issue while Andrew Phillips is sidelined with a hamstring complaint.
The key to Carlton winning is to nullify Hawthorns lynchpin in James Siciliy. Ed C has a big role in running with Tom Mitchell and hopefully we can make the most of attacks with Charlie and Harry to stretch the Hawks D!
Forecast- Hawks by 37 points
