The game in focus:

The first of three remaining games in 2020, Carlton will be looking to overturn two consecutive losses and build on the sporadic signs shown in recent weeks.

Sydney head into the clash sitting 15th on the ladder but buoyed by its 21-point victory over Melbourne in Round 15.

Off the back of a four- and five-day break, Carlton will be looking to prove themselves in the pursuit of a strong finish to its 2020 campaign.

Blue focus:

All eyes will be on Blues’ debutant Matthew Owies when they line up at Metricon Stadium on Tuesday night.

The eighth of Carlton’s 2020 debutant contingent, Owies will get his chance at senior level after a period of strong form and development in the recent reserves games.

Arriving at Ikon Park ahead of the 2019 season as a rookie, Owies swapped the basketball for a Sherrin to pursue his chance at AFL level.

Owies has shown consistent improvement both at VFL level in 2019 and during hub scratch matches, with his most recent accolade being three consecutive weeks of three-goal performances.

Get excited about:

Bluebaggers will be eager to see what David Cuningham can produce up forward after spending over a month on the sidelines through injury.

One of two returning Blues, Cuningham joins Tom De Koning and Lachie Plowman in addition to this week’s debutant.

Last seen against the Hawks in Round 9, Cuningham provides an integral avenue in attack – he had kicked six goals from his first nine games of the season.

Supporters will have missed his efforts in attack: the dynamic forward-midfielder averaged three inside 50s and four score involvements over his nine rounds.
