Carlton have been extremely generous to JW over the years - very lucky man

not lucky, he was a 'Victorian player' a while back, did a smart deal, good for him.

I have no anger towards him regarding injuries, it's when he gets suspended that I get annoyed.

Not concerned at all. Let him get fit and have to "earn" his way back into a winning side.

Rowe, Casboult, Kruezer, Hampson, Henderson, Walker & Betts can give us plenty of options.

Long enough to be classed a cow injury?

Agree. He gets paid well to play about 10 games a year on average.

It would be nice if the Blue could put the money towards someone that gives Carlton better rewards. He has been in the system a long, long time. Contracted in 2014 ....mmmm.

Let's hope Casboult, Kreuzer and Rowe step up and deliver a bit.

Happy for him to play 10 games again, only 3 or 4 of those need to be finals. That's all that matters.

This.
Not fussed if we take it conservatively with him. It's a long season.
We should be able to easily account for Richmond without him.

Lucky Ken Wood never hung around outside the South Melbourne Market Dim Sim Stall then we would have been in real trouble.

That's right.

His back is gone, he has a career ending degenerative spinal disc injury, whether he has a calf as well who knows.

If we nurse him very carefully and select the right games for him he can be a great asset.

Him and Ledley King should do wealth seminars together.

Brilliant!

Yep that's how I see it as well - any games he plays for us is a bonus and hopefully they will be in the finals.
I'd avoid playing him on the hard surface at Etihad stadium when possible.
