The prediction
Carlton began their season woefully, both on and off the pitch, leading to the departure of coach Michael Voss. Since then they have been much-improved as they sit level on points with tenth placed St Kilda ahead of Round 21.
The defending champions the Brisbane Lions are finishing their regular season with a bit of a flourish. The Queenslanders come into this one on the back of a 59-point demolition of Port Adelaide in their most recent outing at The Gabba.
Brisbane have now enjoyed a seven-match winning streak since losing to runaway leaders Fremantle and they should win a potentially high-scoring clash against a now finally competitive Carlton side at Marvel Stadium in Docklands this weekend.
Carlton vs Brisbane Lions tip: Brisbane Lions to win & over 165.5 points
