 We can only drop one of Polson, Garlett and Pickett, and even one assumes that Wright is fit to play.
Byrne will play VFL again and apart from him the only option is Graham, there is simply no one else available, and Graham will take Lamb's spot.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Polson will go for Wright and I reckon Byrne might come in for Lamb...

Byrne played less than three quarters of the VFL game and reading Fraser's summary I'm almost certain he'll play in the VFL again this week.
They arent taking any chances with him which is fair enough given his recent history, but it only leaves Graham to take a senior spot unless you include Mullet and O'Shea.
It's possible that Weitering or Lang might be fit but unlikely, which probably means that Polson, Pickett, Silvagni, Garlett, Shaw etc. all keep their spots simply because there's no one available to replace them.
We'll get spanked again I reckon.

Fair enough....Mullet was invisible and OShea got spanked by that strong looking unit Rodda...dont see them playing.....
I think the club will view a rebounding Hawthorn as a hard mountain to climb and rest players so we have a better and fitter team for the GC game.....

Cunningham done for the season according to McKay, that's one helluva hamstring strain.

It's getting that way, there are three or four in the seniors who really shouldn't be there.

Casboult, Weitering, Graham, Lobbe, Wright and LeBois in
Lamb and Kreuzer out.
Anyone who watched the VFL last weekend should be amazed that LeBois has been included, Casboult likewise.

If BB is fair dinkum about only selecting blokes 'on form', then no way Casboult and LeBois would be included... likewise, Polson.  :o ::) :-\
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

It's an extended bench.

1. Jack Silvagni   46. Matthew Wright

I'm thinking Lobbe, Garlett, Graham/Wright and SOJ. That would give us some balance at least. Levi did ok when on ball last week with 7 marks, Fraser was happy with him, but if you have a ruckman in the case use him, not McKay and Casboult sharing duties. They could ruck Lobbe and Casboult and leave McKay forward but then we're too tall. Le Bois has only just come back from a long injury so I don't think he'll play but it encourages him to put him on an extended bench.
