Injury 2012 Carlton Injury List Update - Keep it all in here

Re: 2012 Carlton Injury List Update

Coming back after a 5 day break due to scheduling, I might remind you. In reality the player would have only been used fleetingly as the sub anyway due to said conditioning and interstate travel.

In such a circumstance, it's not fair on a player to return to the team as the 22nd man. These 'gut busting' players such as Joseph, Collins and Mclean deserve our respect by giving them a full game in the 21.



No, I'm not saying that. A choice between an out of form JR given 19% game time, Bootsma in his first game or as above tokenism to promote Mclean as the sub - I'd back the kid every time. 25-40 minutes game time can mean a heap in terms of development for an eager young kid.

What I'm saying in the future is that we should pick our best 21 and then, astutely, use the sub as a vehicle for introducing our first and second year players.

Your biggest complaint about our youngsters is that by playing a teenager who isn't ready is denying a senior player knocking on the door such as Mclean or Collins. Such a player doesn't deserve to sit on the bench for 3 quarters for an opportunity. We saw last year how the strategy failed last year during Collins' only 2 matches for the year - sub one week, lacking match fitness the next then dumped.

Players knocking on the door deserve the respect of a full game and should replace the worst performed 20th or 21st player each week in a rotational scenario.

hope Kreuzer does OK in a few weeks v Sandilands-otherwise on your bike big fella

Re: 2012 Carlton Injury List Update

There's no way known that we'd throw in more than one debutante in the one game, unless distater befalls us.
I think what TG was getting at was that it would be good if we were in a position to trial some of the kids at various times, but not all at the same time.

Having said that, our priority would be to keep the wins rolling and to rest our keys as required.

Clearly it will be the mids and the rucks that will be worked to be given the time-off.
Forwards and Back-men don't see quite as much action.

Rest them like Freo did a week before they played us at home.

What's tanking?



No need to send our absolute best team interstate to play on the GC two weeks before the finals.

Say what?

There is a balance between continuity and keep players fresh.
Do you think it will fall in place for us perfectly, to rest a dozen players in the one match?

We don't know at this stage as to where players will be sitting in terms of preparation for the finals.
I don't and you don't.

Know the tongue is in cheek but I'd think that would be a match up perfect for Hammer to play the main ruck and have Kreuzer playing the high half forward. .. Hammer has the leap to contest at the bounce and Kreuze would scare Freo running around the field. .. Good learning experience for both rucks though. ..

Re: 2012 Carlton Injury List Update

Any of the insiders got any news on Walker and how he's travelling?

More than happy to leave him out til mid year as long as he's firing come September. A forward line looking like

Betts Hampson Robinson
Garlett Waite Walker

is going to be a headache in anybody's language.

Re: 2012 Carlton Injury List Update

Dylan Buckley was showing off his playing splint on Twitter over the weekend. Maybe a VFL return isn't far away.

Think he played in the intra-club on last week, so not injured anymore.

Doesn't strike me as the sort of person ready to throw the towel in.
Unless someone knows better, he'll be eased back this year and possibly sooner than another 10 weeks from what I've heard.

Don't expect any senior activity, but it would be nice to get some back-ended games leading into the pre-season proper.

Over the moon.

Kerr can take the place of one of our WA Blues.

Who are these WA Blues and how are they different to other Blues?
Is it because they resided on a piece of dirt, cut away from others by an imaginary line?

The way to spot a WA blue both past and present is to check for a mustache. Most WA blues prefer a bit of hair above their top lip.

Carlton greats such as Hunter, Fitzpatrick, the buzz and Armfield are well known wearers and little jeffy and Yazz were fans back in their early days.

 

[Blueboys7]

Walkers a small chance this week, but more likely Vs Essendon.

Why is he listed as 2-3 weeks away then?

 

[Silvagnis]

Re: 2012 Carlton Injury List Update

Poster on another site wrote that Walker is close to returning after he trained this morning and took part in all the drills.

Injury Update – April 10, 2012

Why am I suspicious of Walker's time frame to return?

It seems as suss as Laidler being unavailable for round one.

I wouldn't be shocked if he played against Essendon next week.

If this is the case, I wonder if the club might consider giving him half a game for the Northern Blues this week, and thenm consider him for the Essendon game. I'm sure Carlisle will be keen to see him again.
