My Prediction
Brisbane Lions by 28Oh, would you look at that, it's the Carlton Blues pitting their wits against the Brisbane Lions in round 18, a delightful little tussle if I've ever seen one. The Brisbane Lions are prancing around with an impressive 11-4-1 regular season record, positioning themselves comfortably at #2 in the AFL 2025 standings. On the other hand, the Carlton Blues have been staggering around like a newborn foal with a considerably less flattering 6-10 record, leaving them squatting at #12 in the AFL 2025 ladder.
If we cast our memories back to some of their previous encounters, it's been rough sailing for the Blues with the Lions romping home victors in three out of their last four matchups. And let's not glaze over the Blues' recent unsuccessful venture against Collingwood where they were dealt a heavy blow, losing by a significant 56 points.
Looking at the Lions, they've had a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to their most recent results, a bit like my aunt Mabel's rum and raisin cookies - sometimes they're absolutely delicious, sometimes they're a little bit too heavy on the rum. Despite a couple of minor blips, they managed to triumph against Port Adelaide and Geelong, proving their opponents wrong and causing many a sleepless night for their foes.
Given these circumstances, one might tend to lean towards the Brisbane Lions in this particular matchup. And by 'lean', I mean 'fall headfirst into a hay bale', because the odds are looking as lopsided as my uncle's DIY see-saw. Now, I don't possess a crystal ball, heck, not even one of those fancy Magic 8-Balls kids seem to love so much, but it seems to me that the Brisbane Lions are set to come out on top in this game, and my intuition rarely lets me down, well, except in my last three marriages.
