[Weiterbot23]

B: Joseph, Jamison, TBird
HB: Scotland, Bower, Russell

HF: Walker, Henderson, Robinson
FF: Betts, Ohailpin, Yarran
R: Kruezer, Murphy, Gibbs
I: Warnock, Lucas, Carrazzo, Waite
E: Grigg, Armfield, Hadley

I agree

I can't I believe I can't find a spot for Grigga or Hamma.

 

[Weiterbot23]

who does the kicking in? in the short term i think Scotland is the man.

Him, Hoops or Gibbs.

If Russell even looks at the basket of footy's behind the goals, I WILL LOSE MY SHIT!

It's getting that way.
I am struggling to find a spot for a few as well

Depth is a wonderful thing to have

Something that has been missing in previous years.

Lucas set for Blue debut


http://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/4311/newsid/90936/default.aspx

It seems more and more likely he will debut with every link to the same article

RICHMOND will blood four new faces and Carlton also expects four players to make their debut for the club in the season-opener tomorrow night.

The Tigers confirmed this morning that three players - Dustin Martin, Ben Nason and Relton Roberts - will make their AFL debuts while Mitch Farmer will play his first game for the Tigers after being recruited from Port Adelaide.

an article on carlton website suggesting Lucas likely to debut tomorrow night;

a 'senior' player must be making way. Probably be Houlihan

FFS can i be any later

 

[Premiership Quarter]

B: Joseph, Jamison, Thronton
HB: Bower, Waite, Russell
C: Simpson, McLean, Grigg
HF: Walker, O'Hailpin, Yarran
FF: Betts, Henderson, Kruezer
R: Hampson, Gibbs, Murphy
I: Warnock, Lucas, Scotland, Robinson
E: Houlihan, Carrazzo, Armfield


With the exception of Judd and perhaps Austin this is probably our best team.
The only change to the starting line up might be the switch of walker and grigg and maybe the key forwards to swap spots. Once Austin gets back in the team hopefully Waite will be ready to move forward. I beleive Grigg is an absolute necessity for us to improve to the level we need and I think he's shown he is ready and should be given every opportunity.

I don't think Warnock has done enough to be in front of Hammer.

 

[The Exorcist]

I don't think Warnock has done enough to be in front of Hammer.

I'd go the Hammer


But given all the practice games I reckon Warnock will get the nod

 

[Aphrodite]

FFS can i be any later

Try post 475..........

You were both late

Been thinking and...I'd rather play Waite back and have a strong back 6 and give O'hAilpin a go as the big target up forward. Doesn't mean we have him as a Fev replacement and we still have that unpredictability/need to find the best option

I'm tipping Lucas must have got the nod in front of Grigg?

B: Joseph Jamison Thornton
HB: Russell Waite Scotland
C: Simpson McLean Walker
HF: Houlihan O'Halipin Robinson
F: Yarran Henderson Kreuzer
Foll: Warnock Murphy Gibbs

Int: Betts, Carrazzo, Bower, Lucas

I feel the same about JR kicking in, but he's been doing it all pre-season, must be for a reason. Personally I'd rather *cough* Setanta doing it that JR.

Hoops may not even play if you believe people here so he can't do it, Gibbs is rarely back that deep to get a ball before someone else does. Scotland may also be up the ground a bit. I think it's a matter of giving the job to about 4-5 different guys down there, and whoever is closer just takes it, which given JR is playing back pocket of late, it's him.

that's some serious changes from our last match
if Lucas comes in for Armfield it makes it 9
No Judd and Fev hurts but we're better everywhere else

I just wanted to deliver the scoop and bask in the glory

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I don't think Warnock has done enough to be in front of Hammer.

Disagree.

But I think all three will play.

 

[Bluefish]

Carrazzo is skipper for tomorrow night, with Jamo and Simmo VC's.

Nice for his 100th.

Go Blues, starting to get pumped for tomorrow night!

 

[Crippa#9]

Can't have Armfield in yet. Hasn't done enough in the pre season with his injuries etc.
He shouldn't be a lock in our 22.

 

[mickelboy182]

It's silly to think Knockers has shown more than Hammer at this stage, but we have yet to see him on the big stage just yet so he may get the nod for that very reason.

I'm not sold on playing Kreuze, Warnock and Hammer in the same side just yet. One or two of them have to prove they can be useful when thrown forward on a consistent basis before we play them together.

 

[BlueTouchPaper]

C4 - Surely no chance of Hampson and Warnock/Kreuzer, as well as O'hAilpin and Waite?

A bit topheavy?
