The prediction
Carlton (10th) secured a comfortable 34-point win over the West Coast Eagles (86-52) in Perth in Round 14. It marked their second consecutive victory, keeping their finals hopes afloat.
Carlton midfielder George Hewett was superb in the win over the Eagles, collecting a game-high 35 disposals with 17 of those contested possessions, working tirelessly at the contest.
North Melbourne (16th) put together another competitive showing, despite falling just short in a 73-67 loss to Fremantle. The performance continues a trend of improved showings.
North Melbourne's young gun Harry Sheezel continued his fine season in the loss to Fremantle, gathering 32 disposals and kicking a goal.
The last meeting between the two was a demolition, with Carlton thrashing North Melbourne by 82 points earlier this season. Carlton also holds a significant historical advantage, leading 103 wins to 60.
Carlton's recent form and the memory of their convincing showing earlier in the year make them strong favourites. Expect North to be competitive, but the Blues should have too much class.
Carlton vs North Melbourne tip: Carlton to win by 25+ points
