Dennis Armfield, Eddie Betts, Cameron Cloke, Simon Wiggins.

That's be my bench. Perhaps Bower if Betts doesn't come up.

Let's assume Bentick and Saddo won't play, and that Bowser wouldn't be named if they weren't going to give him a run.

Betts is a monty (if fit), Cloke is highly likely to keep a decent ruck structure in place.

One of Armfield and Wiggo is likely to be an unlucky out.

About time blokes who don't deserve to miss have to sit out.

If there's one team Armfield should play against it's the Roos

They looked a million dollars when not getting absolutely smashed in the ruck. Hopefully this trend continues against Nth Melbourne. You wouldn't expect a combination such as Petrie, Hale and Brown to dominate...

CARLTON v NORTH MELBOURNE
Carlton
B: Dennis Armfield, Michael Jamison, Steven Browne
HB: Shaun Grigg, Bret Thornton, Heath Scotland
C: Kade Simpson, Nick Stevens, Jarrad Waite
HF: Bryce Gibbs, Matthew Kreuzer , Andrew Walker
F: Eddie Betts, Brendan Fevola, Marc Murphy
Foll: Shaun Hampson, Chris Judd, Andrew Carrazzo
I/C Brad Fisher, Cameron Cloke, Paul Bower, Jordan Russell
Emerg: Adam Bentick, Jason Saddington, Simon Wiggins

In: Betts, Bower
Out: Saddington, Wiggins

Wiggins will not be dropped, unless he is injured.

Last week after Judd's goal, he was grimacing and holding his shoulder. Considering this was near the end of the game, do we know if it was an injury or just a stinger?

His shoulder was sore from carrying Carlton for so long

I'd drop Fisher before Wiggo...

In: Betts, Bower
Out: Fisher, Saddington

I thought Fish played well last week. Kicking very poorly but it's just a confidence thing because he used to be fairly reliable shot at goal within 40. He seems to be worried about it and thinking about it too much.

Had 5 shots on goal though. i wouldn't drop either.

Change your location to Airport West. Because that went straight over your head.

Gold!

Eddie Betts might be a good match up if one of those small forwards gets on top. His pressure is second to none and rebound skills would be handy as well.

Wouldn't be a long-term plan, but would cause a reaction from the NM box... can go either way from there. If we win the next head-to-head, then unleash Eddie up forward.

agree entirely - likewise one team thornton shouldn't play against (with 14 others). would be a crying shame to see him in and wiggo out.

when bower is ready, then thornton goes.
