Carlton’s games have been trending up in scoring, with five of their last six going over and two of their last three clearing this total. The removal of Michael Voss and the appointment of interim coach Josh Fraser should free up the Blues even more and produce more scoring in both directions.

The Dogs’ games have swung wildly in scoring but their last two at Marvel totalled 216 and 186 points, and their last five have averaged 192.5. The loss of Tim English in the ruck should also equalise the clearance battle and give both teams a good crack at generating territory from the middle.

Take the over and cheer on the goals.

Harry McKay played his best game in a long time last week and will enjoy facing a Dogs backline without Lobb and O’Donnell. Ben Ainsworth has hit his stride in navy blue, kicking eight goals in his last five games.

The Blues leak to outside midfielders so Riley Sanders should bring up his seventh straight 25-disposal game.
