Preview Rnd 14 - Carlton v Western Bulldogs Saturday 4th July 7.30pm @ Etihad

[Blue__Balls]

This team

Tuohy Rowe Jamison
Buckley White Yarran

Docs Cripps Graham

Everitt Levi Bell
Boekhorst Lachie Kreuz

Wood Carazzo Murph

Everitt Curnow Holman Simpson

Out - Menz, Ellard
In - Boeky, Jamo

Expecting to be without Doc and maybe Carrots as well, with reports that both are carrying injuries.

Don't think we would have elevated Johnson if he wasn't going to get a game, so he'll probably take Menzel's spot in the forward line, pushing Boekhorst to the wing. Carazzo's tougher to replace, Whiley is a chance, but it might simply be that Ellard keeps his spot for an extra week (possibly as the sub?).

Fairly big test this week and a crucial game for our opposition so they will be firing you would think.

Holman was impressive in the quarter he got, really did everything to get selected next week. Menzel should probably have the week off if he's sore, problem is that he's a type of player that we are desperate for, in saying this he didn't have a great game. You'd think there would be a spot for Jamison in the side except he's coming from over a year of ordinary form and some long term injuries, fairly satisfied on how he is being managed. Ellard is a guy who didn't play badly but doesn't seem overly damaging, I wonder if Boekhorst is ready for a go. In saying that the northern blues had an easy game. It's sometimes dificult to select players if the team has been flogged or they have flogged another team as it skews their output a little. Johnson kicked a bag but has also been in reasonable consistent form, could be close to getting a run.

Where are the teams FFS...

Back in the good old days

[Navara79]

Blues will go in with two Blaine's this week - Boekhorst and Johnson. Fair chance Sam Rowe will miss. Menzel a definite out. @FOXFootyLive

 

[ESKIE]

May need lachie to go down back

 

[HARKER]

Carrazzo & Docherty out also.

 

[BluesMan]

Blaine x2 and Jamo are in! Excited to see the B's go for it. Sad Doc will miss.

 

[HARKER]

No Judd, Gibbs and Carrazzo...............A few weeks ago, that was our midifeld.

 

[LanceRomance]

No Judd, Gibbs and Carrazzo...............A few weeks ago, that was our midifeld.

Now we have super bell

 

[Styxx]

They don't have Tom Boyd either so that might help us with height down back, have no idea if Redpath is up to it though.

Quietly confident about what performance we put in this week. They won't get nearly.as much licence as Brisbane gave them.

 

[AB_Blue]

Blaine wears 30 now. Must have missed the memo

 

[AB_Blue]

What's with the Rowe talk. If he goes down Hendo to CHB and Jones in

 

[HBF]

Happy with the ins. Pity Doc misses.
Boyd out for them hurts.

 

[Space Cadet]

MC must have seen my 'unleash the Blaines' post

Byrne still injured

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

They don't have Tom Boyd either so that might help us with height down back, have no idea if Redpath is up to it though.

Neither do we.

Best of luck; hopefully no injuries to either side and a good match.

 

[HARKER]

Seems as though neither Boekhorst nor Johnson will start as sub.

Seems as though it may be between Ellard & Holman for now.....and if Rowe does out.....Jones comes in?

 

[JB12]

What's with the Rowe talk. If he goes down Hendo to CHB and Jones in

That would be a bit annoying for Watson.
Jones plays one good game in the VFL and goes straight back into the side.....

 

[HBF]

No Crameri either.
Grant is just about their most experienced forward.

Good get!

Yeh same! I love the doggies when we're not playing them by gf's pop played for footscray in the 50's. This should be a rip snorter

 

[F_therest]

Why are people saying if rowe is out then hendo chb and Jones forward?

Wouldn't we just have white and jamo as key defenders? We only had 2 last few weeks and win.

Keep Hendo forward

 

[Toddy86]

No Crameri either.
Grant is just about their most experienced forward.

Their smalls could give us trouble 2e will have a big job on G stringer!

 

[Styxx]

Tuohy has been decent this year with guys like Betts etc so he probably will get first crack.

If Rowe is out and the matchups go a bit askew White can at least go forward in bursts and swap with Hendo if desperate. Otherwise I would give Watson one last crack, he was not given a sniff this year
