R3 Preview: Carlton vs. Western Bulldogs

The chance of a circuit-breaker victory awaits Carlton at Marvel Stadium on Friday night against the Western Bulldogs.

It has been far from smooth to the start of a new season for our beloved Blue Baggers.

The pressure is mounting on Carlton and Michael Voss to get the first win on the board for 2025 ahead of a huge fortnight for the club.

Awaiting the Blues under the bright Friday night lights at Marvel Stadium are the Western Bulldogs. An opponent who will be smarting after losing a close one against the Pies last Friday night on their big, celebratory night.

As we know, the team will have to do it without Harry McKay. But how else can Carlton turn the tide, beat the Dogs, and get on the board for season 2025?

Already, there is plenty on the line.
