Does that mean Kennedy and Pickett failed fitness tests?

Pickett definitely would play 2s first up.....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Happy with that, Cunningham has talent but his past couple of games have been poor, so have O'Shea's but he doesn't have much talent.
Hoping for a big effort by the seniors and for Harry to stake a claim.

Harry's out ill. No claim for Harry this week. Cunningham's injured

How long have we been calling for that one?

Not a single backman in to replace him?!

Has Bolton lost the plot and started picking a more balanced side for a change?

Last time we picked a balanced side, or something close to it, was against Essendon. Maybe we picked balanced sides in games we think we can win. Balance in team selection isn't usually a strong point at Carlton.

I think there's an element of truth in that...I've thought it for some time.
Some games are about development, giving kids opportunities...and some are targeted for having a crack at a win.

Silvagni, Pickett and Kennedy are named in the Northern Blues team for the weekend. In a few weeks, when they have some form and match fitness under their belts, they will be in line for senior selection.
Live Long and Prosper!

Bummer about Harry, he struggles to get a good run at it, Cunningham would have been close to being dropped if he wasn't injured.
I like the look of him but he needs to start showing more.
It's a pretty average side, I hope Freo are as ordinary as I think that they are.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

I like the look of this side, with Levi or Kerr rotating off the bench a couple of times a quarter to either go hard inside F50 or give Kreuzer a chop out.

In general this team seems a bit better balanced to me!

Cunningham has obviously had an injury for 2 weeks yet Andrew McKay didn’t mention it in the injury update this week. Strange???

Clubs generally don’t mention injuries until it’s definite that the player will miss.  I guess it’s more important to keep the opposition in the dark than to do the same with supporters.

Especially if they are injuries they may carry into a game! ;)
