The midfield 2024 - how do we shoehorn them in?

Tim Clarke's pre-season report card: https://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/1492391/2024-pre-season-report-card-midfielders

Even with Walsh proppy, we have more quality midfielders than we can possibly fit in, even if we play a couple as forwards.

If Walsh is good to go, I'd start opening round with Cripps, Walsh and Cerra in the centre square, Acres and O Hollands on the wings, Docherty at half forward, and Hewett and Kennedy on the bench, the latter as a forward/midfielder (Cottrell is starting as a forward).

Round 3 will be interesting when Elijah Hollands is available, probably for a forward/midfield role.  Then there's Binns and Jack Carroll pushing for selection.  Cuningham is also hoping to spend more time in the midfield.

It was interesting to read that Carroll spent the summer in Perth with Crippa.  That's got to have a positive impact on his footy, fitness and attitude.
