The Carlton Blues face off against the North Melbourne Kangaroos in Round 15 of the 2025 AFL season this Saturday at the MCG.
Carlton have dealt with injuries as of late - Sam Walsh is out for at least six weeks, Charlie Curnow is managing a calf issue, Hudson O'Keefe suffered a hamstring injury, and Harry McKay is set to undergo knee surgery that sidelines him for at least four more weeks.
The Blues sit 10th on the ladder and are eight points behind eight-placed Fremantle as they continue to push for a finals spot.
Meanwhile, North Melbourne are 16th on the ladder and nearly beat the Dockers last week, falling short by six points in a 67-73 defeat at the Optus Stadium.
The Kangaroos have now completed their two 'home' games in Western Australia and return to Melbourne - ironically for an away game, as they search for more wins in their rebuilding season.
