Preview: Carlton v West Coast

By Jonathan Healy, Sportal

VENUE & TIME: Etihad Stadium, Friday 29 May, 7.40pm (AEST)
HEAD TO HEAD: Played 32, Carlton 16, West Coast 16
LAST TIME: Carlton 17.11 (113) def West Coast 10.14 (74), Round 7 2008 at Subiaco Oval

WALKING WOUNDED: Carlton has lost key big man Jarrad Waite for the season after he injured his knee against the Crows last week, while Andrew Walker (shoulder) and Robert Warnock (foot) won't be back for at least six weeks. Simon Wiggins (hamstring) and Andrew Carrazzo (finger) are a fortnight away, while off-season recruit Chris Johnson may be available for selection after a thigh complaint. West Coast will regain important goal sneak Mark Le Cras after he was a late withdrawal from last week's clash against Collingwood, while Beau Waters (elbow) is gone for the season and Brent Staker (hand) is three weeks away.

FORM: Carlton has won just one match in the last month, with that victory a thumping win over arch-rival Collingwood. Last week they didn't kick a goal in the first half and eventually went down to the Crows by 44 points. West Coast has had a disappointing fortnight, with a narrow loss to Sydney followed by a poor performance at home against Collingwood its two most recent results.

WHO'S HOT: Tough to find any Carlton players that performed well last week, but young defender Paul Bower was certainly among his side's best. The 21-year-old took some telling marks in the back half and ended the match with a career-high 25 disposals. Likewise, it was tough to find anyone who played four good quarters for the Eagles against the Pies last week. Ben McKinley booted four goals - albeit that some of them came when the match was over - but the 22-year-old has kicked 17 goals this season and certainly looks a bright prospect.

WE THINK: Carlton has been very disappointing during the past month and will be keen to hit back here, but it would be unwise to underestimate this youthful West Coast side. The Eagles have some good key forwards - Josh Kennedy and Ben McKinley - and if their midfielders can break even with their Carlton counterparts then it is anyone's game. But Carlton skipper Chris Judd is sure to be fired up for a big performance against his former team and the Blues can sneak over the line. Carlton by 16 points.

Q4 29:37 - Fulltime: Carlton have run out 41 point victors & in the end they did it easily, it was their 2nd quarter performance that set & sealed the match for them. They will now move in to the top 4.

Q4 27:30 - With a 41 point lead Carlton seem content to go through the motions in the final two minutes of the match.
