If we are to be any remote chance of winning, Wood has to come in.
We have a pretty good midfield but if we let their ruck run rampant like last week, goodbye nurse from the opening bounce.
Wood in, Rowe back, Gorringe has to stay in to support him so a tall will have to go. Maybe Walker or Everitt or White but White played pretty well last week.
I don't think Everitt will go as he is kicking goals so maybe Walker.
Can't see any other changes, although KJ must be close. and Tutt got 37 possies so maybe one of the mids is in trouble.

I don't think we can win but I do think we will fight it out if we can break fairly even in the middle.
Curnow to the danger man.


It's Indigenous Round, remember?


Walker survives BS...he's the face of our club for this event.
Lets hope he's been saving himself or rather building himself up for this game.
He really needs to perform this week. Nearly every supporter knows he is not earning his spot thus far.

Everitt is a goal kicker when we look for him. He's a rare commodity.

I think it is White who goes in this case.
Whilst he did hold Petrie goalless, we did lose by 10 goals.
That implies Petrie wasn't the go to man, and Petrie did fluff a few easy marks.
White had 2 kix, 6 HB, 1 contested possession, 2 uncontested marks, 62% efficiency.
White didn't set the world on fire, just his opponent didn't kick goals.

With Rowe going back obviously on Hawkins, Plowman can take the 2nd tall and Weitering 3rd tall.
Wood must lead the ruck. He's not fit enough to ruck all day so a 2nd ruck is required, pref not Rowe.
Gorringe doesn't really jump at the ruck contest, a bit like Kreuzer.

BIG question is whether Jaksch gets a call up. He would take Walker's or Gorringe's spot imo.
Walker seems safe this week, and Gorringe is required as a 2nd ruck and perhaps KPF role Jaksch would fill.

All eyes on Walker and Gorringe this week...if they are (reluctantly) selected.

Watched the replay. Walker was ok apart from the 2 kicking brain fades. Led well.

I reckon he'll stay in the team until he's played his 200th. Curnow will probably be back by then as well.

We've never beaten them at Etihad, and they've won the last 7 matches.

This is one worth pulling out the stops for, if we can manage it.

Sorry to ruin the ending, but we’ll put in one of our best performances of the year. It’ll be close with a minute to go, then Geelong get a dodgey free kick & goal.

Or the umpire will completely miss one to us.

That’s how it normally goes right?

Or our tallest player wins a free kick 10m out with a minute to go but is unconscious due to an unfortunately timed helicopter fly-by and misses the ball with his foot...

Quote:
CARLTON has pulled a selection stunner, with key talls Matthew Kreuzer and Levi Casboult bolting into contention for Sunday's clash against Geelong despite what were reported to be serious leg injuries.

Kreuzer was the hero of Carlton's fourth straight win two weeks ago, but suffered a meniscus tear in the process and was expected to miss four matches after surgery.

Casboult's return is even more surprising after the Blues had ruled him out for up to two months with a hairline fracture in his left leg just 11 days ago.

The pair has been named in the Blues' 25-man squad, along with returning tall Kristian Jaksch.

Don't forget it was given a goal even though Wiggins IIRC touched the ball

Apparently Kreuzer's knee is 'fixed', and it's just a matter of whether he can play through (probably severe) discomfort.

Casboult doesn't have a broken leg; it's 'depressed'?

Good news that the injuries to Kreuz and Cas aren't as serious as first thought. Taking it at face value of course. But surely they won't play this week. Surely?
