Congrats Cooper!

You can see Billy and Ashton are itching for the call up too, both look so excited for their young mate

This is what I’m talking about - yes the results aren’t going our way and it’s a hugely disappointing season but cmon, get up and about would you!!!!

 

[Jatz]

Excited to see Lord get around. Think he'll be a gem for us.

 

[Blue__Balls]

Well, at least now I've got something to look forward to in this game

Unleash the kids!

 

[Soapy V]

So is that it? One debut?

Surely, there will be at least one more to come

I expect Binns to come in. Now Lord confirmed. I think Young & Carroll will play

Means Fantasia & Duridn are real chances

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Time for the Carlton Cubs! Lord, Lemmey, Moir, Wilson, Binns and Big Mirk!! What have we got to loose? About time the dice was rolled in a very un-Carlton pivot

 

[swuzzlebubble]

I expect Binns to come in. Now Lord confirmed. I think Young & Carroll will play

Those 4 are a given with 6 forced changes. It's the other two where it gets interesting and complicated

I doubt that they would announce multiple debutants on the one day, they will want to manage the release of 'good news' stories over a number of days to balance the negativity coming from media and other stakeholders. One thing that the club seems to be good at is managing the PR stuff.

Bringing in Fantasia who hasn't played in 4 weeks is asking for trouble

 

[Accidental genius]

Here we go...the midweek turn from disappointment to excitement is happening

6, I thought it was 7?

Based on the earlier rumour sounds like a minimum of 3. Maybe they are announcing one per day?

Yep. That's my thinking as well. I expect at least one more

Charlie Harry Martin Fog Boyd Saad....?

Possible. I would just expect any to be announced before side is tomorrow night

 

[Opium]

Charlie Harry Martin Fog Boyd Saad....?

Acres looked pretty sore as well. Wouldn't be suprised if he misses

There's a few in that category

 

[Stamos]

Possible. I would just expect any to be announced before side is tomorrow night

Tomorrow will be an extended squad

 

[Soapy V]

Tomorrow will be an extended squad

I know but I still expect the debutants to be named before then

Given Fantasia is a 'Test', they might not have decided on the full team yet.
He'd want to pass with flying colours for us to risk him.
And I wouldn't be risking Durdin off 1 limited minutes VFL match given all the injuries he's had this year. Cotton wool.

Nek minnit..... "Durdin & Fantasia both playing"

 

[Jimmae]

Cowan and Lord into the middle to change things up. Who knows where they could take us. Walsh to the wing.

If Cowan goes into the middle before Kemp goes into there or the forward line, I will scream.

I'm all for it if he's playing off HF and providing width while Walsh starts on a wing.

Fantasia will likely be named and then might withdraw on Friday or Saturday after a fitness test.

Durdin or Fantasia?

 

[Soapy V]

Jack Carroll coming in to play against his future teammates? A lot people in the know believe he's gone at years end and it will be WCE

 

[Jimmae]

Durdin or Fantasia?

Fantasia. Assessing Durdin's shoulder should be easier done.
