PUNTERS have continued to back Carlton to beat the Western Bulldogs on Sunday at Etihad Stadium, just 12 months on from when the Bulldogs smashed the Blues.
Carlton coach Brett Ratten said this week that last year’s result would be a motivating factor.
“You just think about last year and the way they fixed us up at Etihad and we have spoken about that with the group,” Ratten said yesterday. ”We did look at how they made us chase them and we need to make sure we get the ball in our hands and make it go the other way this time.
