Isn't it amazing when you put a few games into a kid.

The "Perc Bentley Cup" sure as shit would have more meaning than most of the other trophies the league pulls out of their arse.

Hederson gone for the year. Confirmed at CFC.com. Groin surgery (adductor release) this week. Should be right for pre season.

Isn't that the same surgery that Judd had? Seemed to take Judd a year plus to get full speed & movement back?

Right decision. We need to stop putting band-aids on these guys and get them ripe for next year.

I'm told made a lot worse by game against North Melbourne. In the end no other decision. Too vital a player.

Hard to believe we are playing this week with the lack if discussion in this thread.

I'm coming over so I for one have significant interest in this game. More than normal

Hoping of course for a win. Eek another one out before we put the cue in the rack. Though it may be too late...

Good move.
Jamison, Kreuzer and who ever else needs it should go in now.
Be smart and do a West Coast.

You know, I've been thinking this for about 5 weeks now.
There's no point getting all "Henny Penny" about it, because, let's face it, Injuries happen and this season is very very similar to the West Coast season of 2010.

I love my blues, but it's not the end of the world.

As a Liverpool supporter in the EPL i am very used to saying next year will be our year. In the case of Carlton, i truly believe this to be the case.

Assuming Robbo is okay only two changes:

Warnock for Bower
Robbo for Dale

Casboult in the fwd 50, 206 90% ruck duty

Possibly Armfield as sub

It will be easy to tell when it's our year.

We'll beat the Hawks twice.

I hope Essendon* folds.

I highly doubt that Knockers has the tank to run 90%.

It wont happen by just hoping and wishing - things need to be done from the Board down to the Football Department first.

OK lets say he gets 5-8 min chop-out each qtr - whatever the splits are, with Levi in, it means we have some halfway decent structure up forward

Usually after a win Ratts reverts back to safety mode....hopefully this won't happen this week....I'd like to see another newbie or two this week....the kids give us some spirit and unpredictability whether by default or not....it's what's needed at the moment....

Did you even read my post?
It's your type that the club doesn't need.

Henny Penny, the sky is falling.

Our injury list this year has been horrendous to say the least.

If we had a year like the Crows have had with injuries, i dare say we would be pushing for that top 4 spot we so desperately want.

Totally agree.

Ok Bryce Gibbs.. Kerr... Thornton... Bower... Russell .... Hampson...Garlett...Murphy...Kreuzer...etc have been average cos of injuries to others???

Actually Murphy's played pretty well this year in the games he has played....
