Dropping Kemp was a mistake last September, I don't think we should make that same mistake again.

I think that our defence works better with both Kemp and McGovern in the mix, but Kemp does struggle against much taller opponents.  The problem is that all seven defenders are playing well and working well together.  Weitering has to be an automatic in but who goes out ... Boyd?

Guv may have given a little too much away:

“There’s potential for [Weitering, Marchbank and Martin to return].

The boys have been having a really good training block, I’m really uncertain with what it is, it’s up to the coaching staff with how they get through this week.

Fingers crossed … either way, we’ve got the ‘next man up’ mindset, so we’ll see how we go.”

Instagram post this morning suggesting Weitering is "locked in for a return for Carlton on Good Friday against North Melbourne".

Not confirmed yet but that'll be a huge boost.

Maybe Weitering/Martin in for Young/Fantasia?

Why would Young be dropped? 

North have Larkey (198cm) and Coleman-Jones (200cm) as key forwards.  If Weitering is back, he would have to take Larkey.  As good as Kemp was against Richmond, he will struggle against Coleman-Jones.  Young has been good in both games and would be the perfect match up for Coleman-Jones.
