It’s back!
The AFL returns with a Thursday night blockbuster between old rivals Carlton and Richmond.
Carlton have won three of its last five matches against the Tigers, but expect this one to be a tight affair.
Richmond will go into the clash as favourites on the back of its extremely impressive back-end to the 2014 season while the Blues were disappointing both last year and in the NAB Challenge.
The match will be won and lost in the midfield, with both sides possessing excellent ball carriers.
Carlton’s Chris Judd, Bryce Gibbs and Marc Murphy will go up against Richmond’s finest in Trent Cotchin, Brett Deledio and Dustin Martin.
Both teams will be chomping at the bit to get their respective seasons off to a flying start, but just who will come out on top?
This match promises to be a cracker so make sure you tune in!
