BOTH Carlton and Richmond have hit form in recent weeks, but only one can win when the two sides meet under the IKON Park lights on Thursday night.

The Tigers are flourishing with a fully fit Ellie McKenzie and Monique Conti running rampant in the midfield, while Katie Brennan has hit a rich vein of form, kicking three goals against Sydney last week.
