Carlton's finals hopes hinge on this final round showdown with St Kilda. The scenario is straightforward for the Blues: win, and they're through! However, facing the red-hot Saints poses a significant challenge.
Michael Voss' team delivered their most impressive victory of the season last weekend, traveling to Perth with 18 players sidelined by injuries and securing a remarkable 65-point win over West Coast.
Unfortunately for the Saints, despite playing some of their best football in 2024, their late-season surge might be in vain as they sit 14th on the ladder. They’ve won five of their last seven games, including a couple of upsets against top-four teams.
St Kilda's most recent surprise victory was against Geelong last weekend, where they outscored their season average by 31 points, overcoming a 33-point halftime deficit to win 107-89 against the Cats.
