This is the game that can change or fortunes this year.
Friday night game.
Everyone watchimg, including potential journeymen who aren't considering Carlton.
Regardless of our position on the ladder we do attract big crowds against Pies Dons and Tigers.
This is a big stage game. The atmosphere will be electric.
We must not only put on a good show, we need to pick our best team to win!
If that means 1,2 , 3,4 changes I don't care.
I don't want to be carrying Jammo. He's playing injured like he did in 2012.
Not worth the risk.
Rowe is badly out of form and should be dropped but with Jammo out safe for now.
Bring in Jaksch.
Judd is an auto selection. I'm guessing one of Dick Carrazzo or Curnow make way.
Don't think Curnow did an amazing job on Jack Stevens and have no idea what Carrazzo role was.
I'm not keen on the latter of those two.
Yarran and Kreuzer can't be considered, same with Warnock.
Will Menzel and Byrne be available? If so bring them Carrazzo and Curnow look like they're in trouble, maybe Boekhurst is sub.
Backline
Buckley Rowe Byrne
Walker Jaksch Tuohy
Midfield
Wood/ Casboult
Judd Cripps Gibbs
Murphy Simpson Docherty
Forward line
Jones or Watson?.....conundrum...maybe one more chance for Jones to heed the advice of Gerard Healy.
Henderson
Bell. Menzel Armfield
Swingman
Everitt
Yarran's suspended, Kruezer's injured ... but why can't Warnock be considered Bondi? I thought he was playing in the 2's ... did something happen? Injured?
Heartless
I reckon that's pretty harsh Bondi. Warnock hasn't worked out the way many of us had hoped, but who really knows what he's had to go through just to get on the park.
I love for him to make a come back - we know his tap work is alright ... if he could just improve his involvement in the game around the ground we might really have a player.
I was a fan. Many were. He's made fools of many fans let alone himself.
You're right I don't know the facts, but he did have a good preseason last year, but he showed NO desire for 2nd and 3rd efforts like someone who wants to change their fortune would.
I looked for endeavour and effort and he showed none week after week since that final against the Tigers 3 years ago. I've given him plenty of time just to show me a sign.
What has he shown you to feel there may be something bringing him down. It ain't his family situation and it ain't his injury or fitness all the time. Something is missing and I bet it's between the ears. I've spoken to sports psychologists over a red or 3 out of interest and there's a lot to be said about the failure between the ears at the elite level.
He has failed himself Imo. Ask him if he's injured every game he's played over the last 3 years or if it's a form issue.
Tell me, anyone, what excuse there may be for his lack of form over the last 3 years, or as SOS would say 66 matches?
