What I would be interested in finding out, are the answers to the following questions:

How frequently since the inception of the sub rule, have we been forced to make that change through injury as opposed to our opponents who have been able to use theirs tactically?

How frequently have we won having to sub early?

How frequently have we ended up losing another player to injury after having subbed early?

I would love to see a comparison across all teams too and this might give us a clearer picture on why some games get lost.

Murphy may not play.

CARLTON skipper Marc Murphy remains in doubt for the Blues' crucial clash with North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium on Friday night but Mitch Robinson is set to return.

Robinson (arm) completed a full training session at Visy Park on Thursday morning but Murphy trained away from the main group.

Blues coach Mick Malthouse said he was hopeful Murphy would be passed fit to play despite suffering a twinge in his hamstring in the win over St Kilda last week.

Malthouse said the final decision on Murphy's fitness would be made on game day.

We had a sub tracker going for this year but we weren't maintaining it and it wasn't brought over to the updated site.

Or was it a corked glute - very much doubt he would have come back on last weekend if it was anything 'hammy' related?

Don't really like it when we go in unchanged. When we do this we lose quite often.
I know it is rewarding the team for winning the last game but it just gives me an uneasy feeling...but that is just me. $:-\$

North will have to make late changes I reckon.

They have 5-6 under a cloud and they left them all in.

Reckon they will activate their sub early

Must be a case of all or nothing.

To be honest, if Murphy isn't fit, I hope we don't play him. We have been burnt before. I never like playing unfit players. Same goes for Carrots: if he isn't 100%, then don't play him.
I hope they are fit, but I doubt it. Especially Murphy.

Murphy must be ok, as there is no emergencies to cover him if he pulls out. I thought Robbo but then he would be 100% either $:-\$

Watching the ABC news tonight it seems Robbo is OK to go if needed, so maybe he is cover for Murph?

Greenwood has been in good form, reckon he will play.......they also have three talls down back yet we only have two tall forwards reckon that will change also and they will go smaller....its a night game with what could be ordinary weather, my money is on Robbo coming in for Murphy.

Nth to start favourites.....I think Henderson will find himself with two opponents most of the night and it may be up to players like Garlett, Betts etc to kick a winning score..
