For the Blues and Cats, this could be a grand final preview. The Cats have been superb at either end of the ground, and have clearly benefited from sending players into surgery before the end of last season, and also an extended pre-season, after their bid for back-to-back flags fell apart.

The Blues boast depth they haven’t had in decades, and that’s been on show with a long injury list, predominantly because of soft tissues. Patrick Cripps and Sam Walsh surely were among the Brownlow Medal votes last weekend against Greater Western Sydney, and will look to be dominant once again today.
