Carlton Supporters Club

Anyhoo, back to business. My side for end one is:

FB Simpson Jamison Tuohy
HB Everitt Watson Yarran
C Walker Gibbs Thomas
HF Robinson Waite Menzel
FF Garlett Henderson Armfield
R Warnock Murphy Bell
INT Cripps Kreuzer Curnow Buckley (sub)

My wish: I will dead set chub up if Cripps gets picked and he lights it up from the get go. He is a bull of a kid and I really want to see him, Bell and Robbo make a few flinch at the contests.
Assumptions Yarran Henderson Walker get up and Brock won't. Put in Ellard, Levi, Scotto respectively if those mentioned don't get up.

According to this Hendo will be available this week, and Carrots and Doherty for R2, with Juddy for R3.

It did hint Juddy could be back for round 2. But with all 3 not having had any praccy matches, I'd assume all (including Judd) should play VFL.

Judd won't play seconds

A disgrace if we even asked him to do as much.

How else does he get match fit?

Had he not missed all the praccy games or got injured mid season it's be a different story. But I just think playing your first game for the year would be massive ask. Players always say as hard as you train, you can't replicate match conditions to get match fit without playing.

Agreed.  No player should be too good to get their fitness back in the twos.  Fark me, Daisy Thomas did it at Pie land trying to come back last year, and even Luke Hodge was required to do the same thing.

Culturally speaking, we would benefit greatly from him coming back through the twos, as it sends a message to the group.  No one is a walk up start, and dont take your position for granted.

Chris Judd is the Fittest most professional bloke in our club. He's hardly crap and if he's ready he plays.

Agree. He is a good enough player to just walk back in but we have send a message, however I still can't see him playing twos. The powers that be wont let it happen and they will want him there against the Tigers if he is close enough.
