Carlton Supporters Club

In: Boekhurst and SPS

Out: A Silvagni and Sumner

Both injured

Glad Boekhorst is being given another shot. Probably seen the last of Sumner... true glassman.

Probably the ideal game for Boekhorst vs a mob who play outside footy and hopefully in good conditions that should suit him running up and down the wings....last chance for him IMO.

Beginning to sound like the Last Chance Saloon EB?

Out: Liam Sumner (Adductor), Alex Silvagni (Knee)
 
I think Fisher is a little lucky to be still in the team. Boekhorst has been playing better, but must still consider himself more than a tad lucky. All of Smedts, Graham and McKay are a bit stiff to miss.
Hopefully the selectors made the right moves, even though they did not go as I expected. But then, when do they?

No Change
 
Witts and Gawn have been the only ruckman to clearly beat Kreuzer in the ruck this year. Witts has done what I thought he couldn't do: develop as a true ruckman. His extra height is difficult for Kreuzer to deal with.
We need to stop Ablett, who got a lot of ball last time, and Lynch, who killed us with his goals from distance. It will be interesting to see who is given the task on these guys.

Dont see Boekhorst making it...not physical enough for AFL footy and being a Rogers selection wont help him either...but at least he gets a chance unlike some others who probably wont see the light of day in the seniors...

Yep Cookie...some of these blokes like Boekhorst, Buckley, Lamb, Gorringe, Jaksch...even Graham might only get a game or two if that  in the 2nd half of the season....its still a rebuild and I reckon at least 10 names will be disappearing off the list at seasons end..

Agree. I'd add to names you mentioned in - Boekhorst, Buckley, Lamb, Gorringe, Jaksch, Graham....

That of - Sumner, Armfield, White, Gallucci (rookie), Korcheck (rookie). Possibly Glass-McCasker (rookie) also.

Gibbs to likely leave also you'd think via a trade.

I've listed 10 senior list players and 3 rookies as 'potential' outs.

I've changed my mind on Buckley. A year back I'd have him in trouble, but now having seen his work at VFL level, and given Simmo has only a season or two left. I reckon Buckley could get himself setup as Simmo's natural replacement.

JGM gets some slack from me, prior to getting his jaw broken he was also looking quite good at VFL level.

As much as I love his efforts, I cannot see Galluci getting past Le Bois, Pickett or SPS.

Korcheck has stalled somewhat, but that does happen with International Rookies, they seem to go through a transition period in their 2nd or 3rd season.

I think Sumner, Gorringe and Jaksch are in a lot of trouble. They've moved clubs and basically found themselves in the same position at a venue with a weaker list than the one they left!
