Racing and Sports will provide analysis of games in the 2024 AFL Season.
We'll endeavour to run through the form, incorporate appropriate stats and also supply a betting prediction which won't always just be who will win.
RICHMOND v CARLTON
Sunday 30 June @ MCG
The old rivals will be toughing it out but with one of them right in the pecking order, it looks a fairly obvious result.
Richmond put their hands up for about 25 minutes of footy in the Dusty 300 game and then Hawthorn ran all over them.
Even after a break, can they get up again when the opposition will really want it more? Beating Carlton would be a lovely little sidelight.
Martin couldn't join in his own party with just 13 disposals and no one scored more than 1 goal either. The dangers were not obvious.
Now they face a side with many and varied threats indeed. Carlton hit the go button midway through Q2 and Geelong had nothing in reply.
Also when Curnow and McKay nailed 8 between them, few sides will stem that tide. You can see that easily happening again.
| Match | Richmond | Carlton | Ground |
| Last time they met | 12.9 [81] | 12.14 [86] | MCG |
| Last 10 matches | 7 wins | 2 wins | 1 draw |
| Notes | Carlton has only scored 100+ points once since the Elimination Final of 2013 | ||
| Only twice since that 2013 Final has the margin been greater than 5 goals – so close games up to now | |||
Just watch Carlton do the business. They are very much a momentum side and a big score is possible.
McKay averages 2 goals a game against Richmond – give him one more versus a stretched backline.
Match Selection: Carlton by 50 points
Suggested Bets: Harry McKay 3+ goals @ $2.05 @ bet365
