will play his 150th game in the Navy Blue guernsey - the jumper he grew up wearing as a supporter - as Carlton looks to continue its strong run of form from recent months.

Last weekend’s sub, Ed Curnow is the sole omission from the Round 22 team: he has been named as one of four emergencies alongside Jordan Boyd (now available after suspension), Sam Durdin

I'm torn on the Dees. In some ways I think they're vulnerable, in others, I think they're ripe for the taking.

Isn’t that the same thing ?

 

[Taminater]

No Fisher up front. When he has to be accountable he stays involved. That was the take away from last week. His best game in Carlton colours. No Half back, No Fisher. Drop Ed bring in Boyd as sub. If Fisher doesn't back it up you can sub him out for Boyd, If Dow doesn't perform you can sub him out, put Boyd half back and Rotate Fisher Fog through mid field. Boyd as sub gives more flexibility than Ed.

Yeah I like this option. My only concern is if Boyd is sub then that could be 4 weeks without a full game.

 

[Garters]

Absolutely and I think having our own vfl side paved the way to improve player development. We heard about this at the time and it obviously takes time but it’s finally starting to pay dividends.

Luke Power bronze statue discussions too premature?

 

[luke livingston seagull]

Isn’t that the same thing ?

 

[Garters]

If it is raining i think Pitto will struggle in the conditions.He could barely bend or run last week. If JSos was fit to play i would've played him over Pitto this week.
Lets face it,no one's gonna beat Gawn in the ruck regardless of who plays. At least Jack can get around the ground more so than Pitto.
I guess in saying that though its gonna be the battle of the midfields and we're a bit light on in that area with our injuries so a tap ruckman in Pitto would be handy to get it down to our boys first.
Will be interesting to see what Vossy has up his sleeve this week.
No more injuries pleaseeeee.

Gawn Grundy combo would destroy SOS just be virtue of size. Would offer bit more around the ground but need a big lumox like Pitto to provide a genuine body against those two

 

[Jatz]

Isn’t that the same thing ?

Yes it is. Serves me right for thinking about footy at work.

Should've said in some ways I think we're vulnerable (injuries) but they're ripe for the taking.

 

[52Goals4inGranny]

Bad move

 

[Magruder]

But shorts get shorter

#heightest…ferrisb

 

[Aphrodite]

Bad move

Why?

I remember seeing Kieran Perkins win gold in the 1500 on the big screen back in 1996 at one of our games.

 

[NavySteel]

No injury report from the Club yet?

.... will we maybe get some unexpected ins???

 

[Magruder]

Bad move

Extra time and pens may take the game past 7:30… just.

Better off pushing it to 7:50

 

[Aphrodite]

Still waiting.

 

[NavySteel]

Still waiting.

I'm kind of excited, in a good way, at that prospect!!!

 

[52Goals4inGranny]

Why?

I remember seeing Kieran Perkins win gold in the 1500 on the big screen back in 1996 at one of our games.

I wouldn't be giving another football code a leg up.

Swimming is a different matter.

You'd think they would be competing for young girls.

I was referring to Gawn rucking on his own. Gawn and Grundy playing is a different story,we'd need Pitto and TDK.

 

[52Goals4inGranny]

I wouldn't be showing it at all!

It proves the AFl don't give a **** about the women and don't take it seriously

 

[Magruder]

Nah can’t agree. This is nation building stuff.

You may never see your national team in a World Cup QF on home soil again.

It transcends codes, particularly as it’s women’s sport.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Man, I'm pumped just to watch us again. The way we attack everything gets my adrenaline going big time. Incredibly exciting.

The 1979-87 Blues, the 1995 Blues and this team right now.

Haha they do poor buggers - so the secret is - kick the ball along the ground!

Gold.

Cmon this is Carlton. We get the unexpected injury

 

[Red_man2008]

Where’s the Carlton presser this week. Surely Voss and the club had their main session today or yesterday.

No injury report or presser yet. Something brewing or the media team has gone to sleep

 

[Accidental genius]

Luke Power bronze statue discussions too premature?

Thinking he’s got a lot to do with it.

I also like the current selection integrity on display.

Doesn’t matter what your name is, if you bring a team first attitude with pressuring and tackling you get a Guernsey.

I also like the planning/homework that goes into how we tackle each weeks opposition. We’ve hit bullseye each week with our planning over the last 7 weeks.

Either they roll out our best 23 - loading up with all the missing pieces….

Or

…I’d better not say.

 

[curnow inferno]

I should clarify they are holding them all back for the following. So assume the ones that were close or just right are being given another week.

I assume this is referring to cerra and walsh?

Do you have anything more specific to gov, harry, sos and kennedy?
