Carlton will hope to repair up their woes in entrance of objective as they goal to proceed their undefeated begin to the AFL season towards North Melbourne in spherical 4.
The Blues have two wins and a draw from their three video games however their skill to land the killer blow has come into query after they coughed up a late lead of their draw towards Richmond after which let GWS maintain final weekend’s conflict shut regardless of dominating massive parts.
Carlton’s accuracy was a serious flaw towards the Giants, kicking a woeful 9.20 and needing a present late objective by way of a controversial dissent free kick to carry on for a 10-point win.
Blues boss Michael Voss mentioned returning to Marvel Stadium was unlikely to make the distinction.
“The sticks are the same width apart so not much changes there for us,” he mentioned.
“We’ve just got to make sure we put (shots) through the big ones a little bit more.
“We’re at all times on the lookout for little alternatives to enhance. There’s some fundamentals within the recreation we want to have the ability to get proper.
“It’s pretty important we don’t tar the whole performance with the same brush and we look at parts of the game we did really well.
“Clearly out of that recreation we weren’t capable of end our work, so we hope that modifications within the medium time period.”
Fans will again be robbed of the chance to see twin brothers Ben and Harry McKay square off, with the Kangaroos’ Ben still sidelined with a foot injury.
Remarkably, the twins have never faced each other in the AFL despite being on lists for eight years.
But perhaps a midfield battle between Carlton’s Patrick Cripps and North’s Luke Davies-Uniacke will suffice, with the Kangaroos gun back after missing last Saturday’s loss to Hawthorn with a calf injury.
Voss suggested Carlton would not send a tag to Davies-Uniacke, but said his side would need to work hard to curb the 23-year-old’s influence.
“He’s actually an actual centrepiece for them in there,” Voss mentioned.
“They’ve had some actual stoppage dominance during the last little time period.
“His performances – he’s been pretty impressive, he’s been very powerful.
“It’s a particular look ahead to us.”
