We really should win this. Just want a thorough, professional and clinical performance - play four quarters.

Warnock is one of their ruckman
White is a bit of utility probably still in and out of there best 22
CARLTON
The experienced Andrew Walker staked a claim for an immediate return to the seniors with an impressive first-up performance with the Northern Blues on Saturday. Playing his first VFL game since recovering from surgery in late February on a pinched cartilage in his left knee, Walker moved freely in a practice match against the NAB AFL Academy at the MCG on Saturday. He finished the game with 29 disposals (11 contested), four marks and six inside 50s. Walker could come in to replace the versatile Simon White, who sprained the medial ligament in his left knee last Friday night and is expected to miss at least four weeks. Others who put themselves in contention for senior selection against Essendon this Saturday were Nick Graham (28 disposals, 12 contested possessions, six marks, seven inside 50s), Mark Whiley (20 disposals, 10 contested possessions, four marks, one goal), Blaine Boekhorst (18 disposals, four marks), Dylan Buckley (15 disposals, four inside 50s, two goals) and Dennis Armfield (14 disposals, four marks, five inside 50s, four goals). – Howard Kotton

I have feeling Walker will play another week of VFL, Armfield will come in though
On the Carlton Board they have the changes as:
In: Walker Buckley Armfield Cripps Warnock Broekhorst
Out: Menzel White Smith Carazzo Tutt Wood
Judging by our board the possible changes floated by could be from any off the following
In: Fletcher Out: Gwilt
(90%chance of happening)
In: Dempsey Out: Howlett
(70% chance of happening)
Other possible but unlikely scenarios..
Out: Cooney or Chappy "rested due to 6 day break"
In: Dagleish or Edwards in for above
In: McKernan/Giles Out:Ambrose
Unlikely as the TRB won't want bulk changes to winning formula
In: Langford Out: Ashby
Unlikely.
Ashby does deserve another game.
In: Kav Out:
Unlikely as to push anyone out of side
Stanton, Gleeson etc are fine in the best 22

I don't think we need to make any "statements" as some in here are calling. Would like to think our round 1 game against the Swams and our sharp victory against the reigning premiers is enough for people to sit up and take notice that we are in fact, a serious football side.
Our biggest footballing statement will have no margin. It will be our controlled aggression, our relentless attack on the ball, our (god forsaken word) structures being used properly.
I'll be happy with a 3 goal plus win. Joe to kick 3, Carlisle 2 and Heppell, Watson, Cooney to be the big ball winners once again.

In saying that, I'm ****ing nervous about this one. We'll see for sure whether this team is serious about competing deep in September
My,my,my how the tables have turned.

He played under half a game and was quite good whilst out there, what's the logic behind this?

Chance of Hurley being BOG against Carlton? Had $40 on him at $501/1 to win Brownlow.
Is Ambrose injured? Otherwise he plays .... and you'll be driven into the turf for even mentioning it again.
He is extremly important to our structure. Go back and look at our forward line against the Roos in that final while Ambrose was in the stands, as was Carlisle. Daniher was in beast mode and with Ryder as number 1 ruck Bellchambers played as KPF. Having him standing there with his arm in the air to call for the ball meant we had a terribly stagnant forward line. We also had zero defensive pressure with a KPF who gets to everything and slams his strong bodied into the contest. Also him constantly presenting creates space behind him for other KPFs to go to work.
He also works up the ground to help with pressure at half back and then runs to provide a link/block through the middle. Late in games he can burn his opponent on that run back to goal as well.
Now that he's taken a contested mark I expect that skill to improve and once that comes together .... LOOK OUT!!!!
I long for the day when he is working alongside Daniher, Carlisle, Cooney, Langford and Laverde. Z. Merrett is now too good to keep out of the forward line.
Regards Fletch, despite a burst in the 3rd quarter Gwilt did OK for most of the match on Gunston. I actually see him ahead of Fletch now for on field effectiveness. However, Fletch will be played enough to get to that magical 400.
I was going to defend Howlett but 8 disposals is real poo. I also thought Ashby came on as sub and was important with the run he provided but needs a rest for all the mistakes and bad decisions he made in that last quarter.
Not sure if Merrett or Goddard are going to miss either.
