If he hates to lose so much he should develop a thicker hide and ensure that he is playing each week and not getting suspended. I don't believe that I am being irrational in expecting him to show his commitment to the team and not do his block everytime he gets niggled. I expect much more from a leader and an experienced player at Carlton.

HOW COULD YOU DROP CARAZZO AFTER THE FORM HES BEEN IN. AND IF LONG KICKING IS WHAT IS NEEDED AT SUBI, CARAZ IS A MUST. IVE ONLY EVER SEEN THE GUY RUN 10M AND THEN KICK IT LONG AND STRAIGHT

Shippy_cfc can you take your caps lock off (or stop shouting)!

Depends on matchup's really. If there was someone he could exploit then go for it.

We tried him at CHB Vs Melbourne in the first game of last year. We lost by 108 points, it wasn't a success, but he did kick our first goal. If he could run forward, create and exploit someone then go for it

Put simply Houlihan is not accountable enough to play CHB. IMO he shouldn't be playing back at all, his talent lies in finessing the ball into the path of a leading player. His defence work over the last couple of seasons has been passable at best. Should be on a wing or perhaps center/midfield

No chance Houla will be at CHB. Not big enough. Think he might have passed his audition for the midfield last week.

I don't think anyone WANTS to drop Betts (or Davies for that matter) nut its simply a question of who are the form players and who will benefit most from the run in the magoos. Neither of these blokes has had full games yet this season and probably are just scratching a bit for fluency because of it.

You have to admit though its a good situation to be in, to be made even more difficult when Scotland, Thornton, Livo and Prenda are all due to return. AND we have guys really performing in the reserves and putting their hands up for it.

Interesting times indeed...

I think a few players may have been on the edge of being droped based on the form they showed in the last few rounds. I do think Sporn may have saved his spot with the game he played. Johnno and also Karl.

Betts AND Davies I am not so sold on now that T-Lo is in the side.
Betts OR Davies sounds better.

Bowyer and Johnno both played a good games and should not be droped.

For me i dont think T-Bird will be back this week and i also think that we will only make one change this week and that will be Campo in and maybe Walker out.

Next week Scotland, T-Bird, Walker and Banno may all come in to get some fresh legs in the side after we have had 2 hard road trips.

Wouldn't think so!

Agree that Campo will be in but Walker could not lose his spot on his efforts, especially going to Subiaco. We need his pace, and he needs to know that his hard running performance will be rewarded.

It was hard running and fast ball movement that set up our Wizard Cup sucess.

In recent weeks our midfiled rotations have been limited by injuries to Walker and Chambers directly and Kouta and Stevens indirectly. They have both been spending significant time back due to Thornton and Livo.

Now we are in a position to start the running game again, especially if Thornton is ready!!

Where better than the wide expanse of Subiaco. Bring on Freo...
