The so-called mail says it seems to be Lamb.

On another forum they're saying it's Lamb.

But it is only a rumour. Believe them at your peril.

Wouldn't mind seeing young Macreadie get a chance anyway.

I was a little surprised to see Lamb in the selected side. If it is Lamb and not Daisy then Daisy goes forward. Though I would have thought if it was lamb then Palmer or Kerridge would have come in, guess we'll know soon enough. Or maybe we're just starting rumours to unsettle the Tiggers? Ah, games.

My worry is that Cripps will be there in name only - preseason injuries have a way of cruelling a season for players. We really need Cripps to offset Martin. Deledio's departure helps as he was their quarterback. The Tigers struggled to win without him. Great to have so much young talent coming in but young players are likely to be inconsistent not only over the season but also within a game.

Macreadie in but whos out?

LATE CHANGE! BLUES INCLUDE DRAFTEE

- Glenn McFarlane reports the Blues have made a change ...

CARLTON teenager Harrison Macreadie is set to make his AFL debut tonight after being told this morning he will be a late inclusion for the season-opening match against Richmond at the MCG.

It is understood Blues coach Brendon Bolton delivered the good news to the 18-year-old former Giants Academy defender.

He is set to be the fifth new face for Carlton tonight as they take on the Tigers, with Sam Petrevski-Seton, Jarrod Pickett, former Cat Billie Smedts and former Giant Caleb Marchbank also chosen in the selected side.

Macreadie, originally from Henty in New South Wales, was the club's 47th pick in last year's draft. He is athletic defender who also played in the midfield in the NEAFL last season.

Jacob Weitering, who was third in last year's Rising Star award as a defender, will likely start in attack tonight, with the Blues eager to increase their scoring capacity.

Weitering has been used as a swingman through the JLT Community Series and will continue to do so, but the belief is he will likely line-up in attack when the ball is bounced tonight.

Possibly for Curnow...was injured and would have to be under a cloud. $:-\$

Hope not, need Charlie running through the middle. Lamb, Daisy or White would be the preference.

Agree. I thought Curnow was actually very good against the saints when he had some time in the middle.

Over the years our selections have made me wonder if I am Jon Snow ("You know nothing, Jon Snow!:) or Tyrion Lannister ("I drink and I know things.") and this is no exception. It may be genius, but....
I wouldn't have played SPS. The kid has got a future, but he hasn't even played a whole VFL game yet.
I would probably have played Kerridge before Smedts: neither are great kicks, but Kerridge has been slightly better so far.
I wouldn't have played Daisy. His form has been adequate at best.
I probably wouldn't have named Lamb, although rumour has him being the change for tonight.

That's pretty close to my thinking. However, I suspect that the club is better able to judge whether Sammo is ready to play. I don't think that they would risk him if he's not.

It is interesting to read where Carlton and Richmond were and think they are going.

Richmond finished with 8 wins and a percentage of 79.5 coming in at an unfamiliar 13th

Carlton finished with 7 wins and a percentage of 79.3 finishing 14th.

We will send out 3 (Macreadie possibly) first games and another 3 with less than 10 games experience. They have a first gamer in Butler but really a seasoned and experienced team with a few new faces, Prestia being the best. Nankervis who is being talked up, will be shown how to play first ruck by Kruezer.

We don't have an identity yet, whereas Richmond is trying to change theirs. Carlton have the chance to ruin their season in the first game by applying pressure, something that was lacking in the JLT series. If we stop the "Tiger running game" they will go back into their shells and kick backwards sideways and miss targets.

If we can get our run and link up play going, as well as first use by Cripps then we may have Hardwickes neck on a swivel.

Won't get within 10 goals.......just a horrible, horrible lineup.......will be the first of the weekly beltings we'll routinely be on the end of this year.....

My take is our better players - say top 6-8 guys - are considerably better than theirs....

It's these blokes that win games, the rest just fill in the spaces - or are made to look good by the others.

Carlton - Gibbs, Murph, Crippa, Special K, Weitering, Docherty (then Simmo, Marchbank)

Richmond - Dusty, Cotchin, Jack, then.....Rance, then.....Prestia/Caddy (both unproven next to our 3 listed guys).

I think we have more X factor than the Tiges too - Charlie Curnow, SPS and Smedts for example.

I think Charlie needs one breakout game then he'll be a gun in waiting.

Smedts - his best is exceptional, hopefully he'll get a decent run of games and get back to that level.
