With new coach Mick Malthouse at the helm, the Blues have had narrow losses to both Richmond and Collingwood.
Cats defender Josh Hunt says the combination of two losses and a smart coach at the helm could pose problems for the Cats.
“I think that any side that is coached by Mick Malthouse is a threat. He just gets the best out of his players.” Hunt said.
“He’s one guy that won’t like being 0-2 and knowing a few of the Carlton blokes they won’t be either.
Scott Gullan who covered Sunday’s loss to Collingwood for News Ltd was equally cautious of a wounded Blues.
“They were maybe a little unlucky to lose on Sunday.” Gullan said.
