They'll do it if they're forced to.
Two injuries
Warnock has to play if fit as he is still on a steep learning curve
Houlihan has to play if he has the Ants form, simply because he is in our best 22 and is a skill-based option we can't afford not to have at our disposal. He may go in for one of the injuries (Laidler?) so it may be down to three.
McLean and Ellard are possible to play because it is against Port and the MC have to be sure before they cull one or both of these from the senior and possibly into oblivion.
Curnow will come in if fit, maybe for the other injured player (Duigan)

We'll see.

I'm going for:
In Warnock (Hampson)
Houlihan (Laidler)
Curnow if fit (Duigan)

Houlihan plays his best footy up front but has played a lot out of the back 6 in the last two or three seasons. Players of his skill can help penetrate the press by foot and thus control the midfield a bit more. The front half looks settled ATM so unless there is an injury there I think he will go to the HBF.

Gibbs Yarran Houlihan Scotland = best footskilled backline in the comp.


You don't rate Scarlett Enright Mackie Hunt Kelly Milburn Taylor?

Scotland is a poor kick and doesnt run hard enough.

That is one of the reasons that we lost to Geelong.

2nd or 3rd quarter, cant remember which, but, when the game was there to be won, he ran out of legs and couldnt push forward to get inside 50 to receive the pass that he originally setup.

If Scotland is so good, why did he kick it on the full against Melbourne. Please explain?

Exactly, because good players NEVER kick out on the full.

Judd got caught holding the ball, he is clearly too slow.

One thing I enjoy about Talking Carlton compared to Bigfooty is its civil, well balanced attitudes.

I feel bigfooty is for keyboard warriors who are under 25 and Talking Carlton for those who may have differing opinions but are able to discuss them with an I can agree to disagree attitude.

For what its worth I have noticed that both Smurph's and Judd's games have seemed to have improved with Brock's inclusion. They are being a lot more damaging with their disposals. Whether that is coincidence or not I am not in a position to say but I am sure the club is.

I like Ellard and believe that his endeavour needs to be rewarded in order to show the up and comers what is required and that hard work and guts goes a long way to being able to keep your place or to at least get a shot.

I love Robbo's enthusiasm and my mates and I just call him the Psycho now. I have never seen a player so completely mad and without a shred of self preservation. He is important to the team but either needs to stick to hand passing or become self aware when he has that 2 extra seconds to steady himself and make the right passing by foot option. The pass to Walks in the Saints game shows he has a decent enough kick, its the grey matter that can let him down at times.

Going forward it is a really, really tough call with certain players commanding a spot in the best 22 I can only see 2 of Ellard, Brock, Curnow and Robbo in the team. My personal view is that they all have their advantages and disadvantages and that if fit maybe a team by team selection is required. All up its better to be in that position with the depth rather than having to pay players when they are not 100% because we have no choice.

Recruiters need a huge pat on the back for the job they did this year. Will look back in a few years time and see the recruitment 2008-2011 as pivotal.

Rhino I like your passion and can see why you are a charging but remember we are all die hard blues here and trolling, thank god, is kept to a minimum on this beloved blue forums.

GO YOU MIGHTY BLUES ... geez its great to be where we are at this moment ... lets enjoy and appreciate the good time rolling around ... again thank god!

Surely that's a joke?
He's probably the most reliable field kick in our team?

It shouldn't matter who is injured this week, a win is a must

The club's stance on our injured is that Laidler might miss but the others seem OK.

Our list looks really thin if we have more injuries to add to the underdone players available.

1.Laidler (patella)
2.Duigan (muscle)
3.Russell (hamstring tightness iced)

4.White (leg)
5.Lucas (inj)
6.Curnow (AC)
7.Casboult (was LTI and taking Tuohy's opportunity to play)

and the following underdone returning from injury:

8.Kreuzer
9.Bower
10.Houlihan
11.Henderson
12.Austin
13.Mitchell

and rookies who can't be elevated till round 12:

14.Tuohy
15.O'Keefe
16.Twomey

Take out 16 players from the list and we are really thin on talent.

Duigan missing worries me, especially if Laidler and Russell miss through injury.

I'm no authority but I can't see why Warnock would miss this Sunday after a 9 day break. So he replaces Hampson, unless Ratts wants to work over Brogan with 2 very tall athletic ruckmen.

If Laidler, Duigan and Russell miss Joseph would be a dead set certainty.

And the other 2 spots would have to be made up of Houlihan, Henderson, and to a lesser extent Bower (did OK today in his 1st game back)

I hope injuries are not a big concern for the remainder of the season. We've taken a few too many hits on our list thus far this year.

The most consecutive games we have won in the last 10 years has been 3. That's the hoodoo.

We need to win 4 in a row, this next one being win No 2. This is our big chance to break the hoodoo.


Then we can focus on 5 and 6 in a row before we meet Colligwood again. Salivating for that to happen.

He reminds me very much of Fraser Brown in his early years. Browny`s disposal and discipline was ordinary at times too but he proved to be such a vital part of the side.
