Don't forget Zac Merrett Elwood. He seems to be having a breakout year and could be a handful. Ed Curnow could well be put onto him?

Tackling number down again against Dockers - don't know why we can't tackle.

Changes

Jaksch in/one ruckman out.

Casboult into the ruck where he can use his strength, his marking, to the advantage of the side. Much better than him kicking at goal..lol.

Reckon they might leave the two specialist rucks in vs Luenberger to work him over and use Casboult out at CHF.....be Hartley or Brown picking him up.
Brown is a bit of a intercept marking type and has taken over form Hooker in that role, I reckon they might be wanting to make sure he isnt allowed to be free without a taller opponent
tp keep him honest....Hartley is a ex VFL player and I would see him getting the less potent Jones...

Dont get me wrong, I like Jaksch and like the balance he would give us but I think they wont tinker much this week..

Yep...good call Cookie...ZM has slipped under the radar a bit and is an improved player and will need someone to keep him company...
Maybe Ed Curnow for ZM and B. Gibbs for Goddard.....

For me I'd play Ciaran Byrne on Goddard, good size match, Byrne is OK overhead, and probably has Goddard covered for pace.

Great opportunity in my opinion for Byrne to get hold of a significant scalp.

1 of 2 must win games for the season!

We'll take some confidence from last weeks win, here's hoping we can repeat !!

Injured/Redundant...C.Curnow has taken his place and as KC and the Sunshine band said.." thats the way I like it"...

While I agree with a bit of that I want to see Walks get to 200 games.

I'm getting the strong feeling that BB is very reluctant to bring in the older players currently not getting a game plus any that are playing who don't perform will quickly be moved out - Zach T. look out. The focus is on youth with the older guys as backup.

Calf injury according to the CFC website - 1 week, although I don't know when that was last updated.

Thanks mate, although you can take what the club says with a grain of salt.
We can probably expect to see him back in a month or so.

I think there are quite a few blokes who would still be well behind a fit 1AW in the pecking order, age or youth is irrelevant.

I agree LP, he's still under 30, although only just, and his ball skills are among the best at the club.

Zach is as safe as houses, among the first half dozen picked.

He needs a good one soon IMO. I noticed that Docherty had replaced him taking the kick outs on Sunday, I think Byrne could push for his spot - but we'll see I guess.

He has good and bad patches in games. The defence coaches need to work with him on the defensive side of his game. His man lost him a couple of times too easily.

Well, they won't be tired for next week. Nearly 10 goals behind with plenty yo go in the second.

Defenders cop a rough deal, they're bound to lose a few one on one contests but when they do it's costly, a forward gets beaten or doesn't even make it to the contest and no one seems bothered so much.
Touhy's foot skills are as good as anyone at Carlton, he's quick, strong and has a natural attacking instinct.
His good far outweighs the bad in my opinion.
