The game in focus:
Carlton will be under no illusions heading into Sunday’s clash at Ikon Park: with two wins after five rounds, four points must be secured to give themselves a chance of a third consecutive finals berth.
Despite a winless start to their 2021 campaign, pride will be on the line for the Cats as they look to record their first victory before the season draws to a close.
With returning star Maddy Prespakis and co-captain Katie Loynes making their way back into the line-up for this week, the Blues’ have a golden opportunity to put themselves back into finals contention.
What to watch:
This is the week to keep your eyes on the reigning league MVP (as if they weren’t already).
Missing last week’s clash with North Melbourne, Prespakis will be eager to play her part in getting the Blues’ season back on track with a win at home.
Averaging 21 disposals in her four games in Navy Blue so far this year, Prespakis will be looking to pick up right where she left on in the centre.
Equally as determined will be veteran Katie Loynes: known for her grunt around the ball, the skipper will be a force to be reckoned with.
