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

Petty out

Brown come in for him maybe?

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

I’d normally be worried about resting players and I’m still a bit apprehensive but playing as we have the last 7 weeks with so many forced chances has me almost convinced that anyone who comes in can adapt to our system and play their assigned role.

 

[Bryce Bubbles]

<touch wood>
Reasonable chance we're at full strength (less Mirkov/Williams/Philp) for GWS.

How the **** is Mirkov and philp in our best 22(full strength)?

 

[Arr0w]

How the * is Mirkov and philp in our best 22(full strength)?

They don't have to be, just adds to depth

 

[CupperTea]

Feels strange to even say this, but is McKay still an automatic selection when he’s fit? Big call for them to make considering how we’ve been playing. I’m not sure McKay, TDK & pit can all fit?

Harry is a walk up start

Harry is a walk up start

With TDK & pit also in the side? And then throw in SOS?

Great to have options, but Harry won't miss if fit

Just got to hope the day comes when we have everyone available.

 

[Jimmyonesix]

fish was good today but when saints had clearance dominance he was lost as a defender and didn't know when to go his man or pressure up .. I feel boyd as that extra defender to drive off half back safer option..

 

[kreuze_missile]

Ok, how did you two feel about the form of Fogarty, Docherty, and Owies? They were s**t, and I'm putting it down to fatigue.

We should be picking the 22 best fit footballers available. We're at the very end of our depth chart right now with no-one banging down the door to come in.

If any of them are fatigued to the point they can't compete they should obviously miss, but I'm not interested in plugging holes uncessarily at this point in the season.

 

[Arr0w]

First week of finals, even Williams

Unfortunately this is a unicorn for any side ..

Seemingly ran around on his own all day.

Got to wonder who his opponent was and what impact they were having.

I know he had at least 1 kicked on him.

Doc is a great player, so he battled through, but he was knackered and on 74% game time to try and keep him going for next week. I don't think he'll come up. Owies was solid, but his pressure quickly fell away. We're seeing some of the same problems from the first half of the season, so to challenge an in form team we need to rotate a little bit.

Longer term, the squad will be fitter, but right now we're breaking a cycle that's gone on for seasons.

Doc won't miss, neither will Owies

Like Acres needed a rest?

7 in a row Jim, time to get on board

We really missed Harry today especially with Charlie being tag teamed and that get out kick on the wing.

He's a Coleman medallist.

Hes 100% auto selection.

I'm sure Charlie would have loved him out there tonight. If they wanted to double team Charlie then Harry would get off the leash.

Otherwise both their jobs are easier.

Harry and JSOS in. Pitto Out. For me thats our best structure.

Tell TDK he's the man and let him loose and back him in.

Good luck to anyone who tries that crap on us when we have two coleman medallists running around.

 

[bluebaggerjuls]

since when were cerra and mckay going to be fit for the melbourne game. I thought we were looking at round 24 at the earliest

Wait, are we allowed to play Philp and Williams given we freed up spots for them?

Philp has probably already cleaned out his locker.

Not exactly an answer to the question I asked…

[Skull Face]

No need to rush anyone back for this, keep playing the system and we will be in with a shout and if we lose its not going to effect us too much. Walsh and Cerra back vs GC to secure finals and hopefully beat GWS to secure a home final.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Not exactly an answer to the question I asked…

The answer is yes they can play.

But we'd need to take whatever Category B rookie we promoted back off our senior list.

I don't even know who that is..?
