Carlton vs. Adelaide
May 8th
Carlton heads to Marvel Stadium for a home game against Adelaide for a Sunday twilight fixture which brings to an end Round 8 the AFL season.
Away from head to head and line markets, goal-scoring markets are what will the focus for this game.
Carlton’s tall timber in Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay are going to create all sorts of problems for an Adelaide defence lacking key defensive tall stocks.
With Patrick Cripps, Sam Walsh, Matt Kennedy and Adam Cerra likely to get on top in the midfield battle, Curnow and McKay will get enough of it to cause damage.
McKay is battling a bit of a sore knee, so Curnow will be the forward to back for a bag of goals.
