Changes vs Hawthorn

[avid blue supporter]

It's probably best you drop Fevola & Waite in my unbiased opinion.

Dream on Bullwinkle and pull the other leg it plays jingle bells.

Now that the Blues have got Waite and Fisher back in the side and the Kids are starting to get some miles and games into their legs, Sunday's game might be very interesting and, after we fix up Richmond you might very well find Carlton sitting 14th one above Hawthorn at 15th

Jesse smith elevated so up all of your noses. Oh that is right I know nothing about footy. Get over your self rightious opinions and tell the facts not what you want to happen. By the way best of luck smitty you deserve your chance totally on form. I hope all these so called carlton supporters can appreciate you for years to come.

is it time for the the FRO?

would love to see him debut this week!
go bower, come on denis, make it happen!

 

[blueboys1]

This is want Denis said
Meanwhile, Pagan said rookie-listed players Jesse Smith and Ryan Jackson are still in the mix to make their AFL debut before the end of the season.

"We would've loved to have played Craig Flint, but he broke his ankle a couple of weeks ago against Werribee and we certainly wanted to give Josh Kennedy the last three or four games, but he's out of business too, now," Pagan said.

"Jesse Smith is knocking on the door and so is Ryan Jackson, but they're still a little way off yet and we'll just see what happens before the year is out."

O hailpin for Chambers. u have to give the guy one last chance. if he stuffs it up this time its time for him to go

How many last chances does he need? Why dont we bring back Sporn as well then we would be guaranteed the PP, chambers, sporn, teague they are not the future of carlton, so why keep giving them last chances?Id rather, Bower, Edwards, Jackson or Smith come into the team, they are our future, the others are our past.

In - Bannister, Teague, Mclaren , Smith

Out- Wiggins (inj)

My first preferance is Smith to come in for Wiggo, but for some reason he does not come in, Bannister is my second option - was stiff to be dropped at first and I reckon he is a good player.

Teague and McLaren can stiay with the Bullants.

 

[Jeremias]

very happy with Smith named on the extended bench-really hope he gets a game, he deserves it.

McLaren I don't mind seeing, nor do I mind gibing Bannister a go. Both will be around for a few more years and could prove to be handy depth players.

Not so happy with Teague being named, hope he doesn't get picked. Nothing against him, is a great guy, but now that he has been found out he doesn't really have a position in AFL footy.

Surely this is the end for Chambers-BOG last week with 6 goals for the Bullants but isn't named at all. Interesting...

It would make as much sense as people calling for Mcgrath to be dropped ....It's hard to fathom that supporters call for players to be dropped just for the sake of playing an unknown ...fair enough if they are injured or not performing ...but to drop a player who has been a good contributor for the last few weeks just because you want to see another youngster play is just inane ...hey how about we drop Walker this week !!!!

 

[Funkalicous]

How can McLaren be named with French and Bryan still in the team? I like McLaren, but team balance comes first.
I didn't believe Bannister deserved to be dropped so his inclusion would be welcomed. No other changes otherwise. A lot of players from last week would be high on confidence, and that's always a good thing to bring into a match.

Let them play, and let's see if they're good enough to win two in a row.

Bryan is on the extended bench, as is McLaren. They could choose one or the other.

You have to be joking. The guy had five possessions against Freo- it he didnt get dropped there would have been some serious screw-up at the selection table last week

I'll be the first to admit he didn't play well against Freo, didn't get much game time either. But the weeks prior he was good in my opinion.

Would of thought Smith would have got a game, since hes now on the list he needs an opportunity to show if he can cut it at AFL level.

 

[jj1978]

I was a bit worried they may drop Bryan.

I'm glad they didn't as it's a good sign he may be with us next season.

Hope your right, ill think hell be with us providing we dont pick up another ruckman ie Meeson in the preseason draft. Hopefully he shows some real form in the last few games as i think he has a future.

The three players you most want to see playing are clanger king Bannister, too small to be a big too slow to be a small Teague, and rookie Smith?

Each to their own I guess.

 

[BlueWorld]

Smith, Teague & Mclaren didn't make the final team.

 

[Chooka1]

I have to agree with you on that one,Mcgrath played a teriffic game last week.
