Blues Hit with Huge Setback Ahead of Hawks Clash
Alright, footy fans, let’s talk about the big game tonight—Carlton versus Hawthorn at the MCG. Just when the Blues were looking to bounce back from last week’s disappointment, they’ve been dealt a massive blow. Star forward Harry McKay is a late withdrawal due to illness, and that is going to shake things up for the Blues in a major way. McKay has been a key target in Carlton’s forward line, and his absence means Lewis Young steps in to fill the gap. Can the Blues adjust their attack in time?
Now, let’s talk about the Hawks. They’re coming into this match flying high after an impressive start to the season. They’ve already got eight points on the board before several teams have even played a second match! But it’s not just the numbers—it’s the way they’re playing. Hawthorn is bringing speed, aggression, and a scoring punch that has made them an early contender for a top-four finish. If they can maintain that attacking style, Carlton is in for a real challenge tonight.

As for the team selections, Carlton has named Cooper Lord as their substitute, while the Hawks have Jack Gunston filling that role. Speaking of Gunston, he’s making his return alongside Changkuoth Jiath, adding some serious experience and firepower to the Hawks' lineup. Jiath has had a tough couple of seasons with injuries but is finally back in action after a hip issue kept him out of the first two rounds. On the other hand, Hawthorn has had to make some changes, with Jack Scrimshaw out due to suspension and Sam Frost omitted.
For Carlton, this game is about making a statement. They let a 41-point lead slip against Richmond last week, which was a nightmare start to their season. Now, with their back against the wall and McKay sidelined, it’s up to Charlie Curnow to carry the forward line. The dual Coleman Medalist is back in action, and Blues fans will be hoping he can turn the tide. But is one man enough to lift Carlton against this red-hot Hawks side?
As the teams take to the field, anticipation is building. It’s a wet night at the MCG, which could shake things up even more. Will the slippery conditions favor one side over the other? Can Carlton prove they’re still a force to be reckoned with, or will Hawthorn continue their dominant run?
Stay tuned, because this one is shaping up to be a cracker!
