Grahams selection can only mean he wasnt dropped for poor form, rather not suited to Subi and/or no match up for him last week. To be recalled this week without playing in the twos at all confirms this to me.

He may not have been judged as "poor" GTC, just others better than him atm.  :)

Goal kicking is still a worry but we should win this easily.
Murphy, Cripps, Ed, Wright, Kerridge, Kreuzer and Gibbs will be too good for anything Essendon can throw up in the middle and our back 6 is playing OK.
If Jones and Casboult can hit the scoreboard we'll win by 8 or 10 goals, but it's a big if.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Everyone forgets that Graham and boekhorst are only playing their second and third seasons of footy respectively and haven't quite worked their way up to peak condition and fitness yet.

Most senior players carry some sort of restrictions and few would be 100%.

Only a few can do it early.

Sometimes giving them a week off to refresh is all they need.

I'd have thought this applies even more so for 1st yr players. Wouldn't be surprised if any of the youngsters were managed this way (or any oldies for that matter). The Cats just "rested" hendo...

Isn't that just wishful thinking from an attention seeking Essendon supporter?

There was open training this morning; any reports?

He is Blues supporter.

He is Blues supporter.

In that case, isn't that just pessimistic thinking from an attention seeking Carlton supporter?   :)

"AFL advises Andrejis Everitt has replaced Michael Jamison as one of Carlton's emergencies for tomorrow's rd game v Essendon."

Interesting. Everitt has already played a half with the Northern Blues.  Wouldn't bother to make a change if Everitt wasn't going to be used.

I think I have worked this out  ???

Jamison was concussed and unable to fulfil his role as emergency.  Of course, as Jamison played in the NBs, he wouldn't have been used as a late replacement, that role falling to White and Tutt.  Jamison must have been deemed unlikely to pass the concussion test and the club was required to nominate a replacement emergency.  They went with Everitt, but did so very confident that he won't be required.

Hmm. Plot thickens. If Cripps is out of expect white to come in

Last week the rumor was Cripps and Murphy.
