That would mean at least two changes.  Carroll for Cowan already circulating in socials.

Carroll is a confirmed in.
Harry not yet.
I would expect at least another change or 2 on top of carroll.

Tomorrow at 6:25 will be very interesting! We know the MC likes Durds, so there's another very possible inclusion (at Fog's expense?) and then there's Boyd who also deserves a call up.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Going into this game we have the smallest injury list that i can remember.....
https://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/1752149/injury-news-two-blues-tests-for-gather-round

Jagga and Newy out for the year which we know.
Cottrell and Pittonet both a test.
Cincotta, Fantasia and Cowan out for another month or so.

Thats it.

Six significant names though.

If Harry doesn't play I wonder if they'd consider Pittonet, just to free up DeKoning a bit.
He's been getting a bit of assistance but has been finishing games pretty stuffed.

Tom Morris is reporting Harry will travel with the team and is expected to play

You reckon?

Newman is the only walk up start.
Jagga we all have high hopes for but actually hasn't played a game yet.
The rest are not best 22
Cowan is solid without being significant
Cottrell is up and down like a yo yo
Cincotta was borderline best 22 last year when fit
Pittonet is solid, but not best 22 in a team that only needs 1 ruck.
Fantasia....was he your 7th?

Jagga is a future star, the 5 others are regulars in and out but easing the load, they aren't list cloggers. In previous seasons we had long list of injuries most of them couldn't get a game when fit.

I suspect a few will have a different opinion of Cincotta than labelling him borderline, a lot might have him ahead of Cowan, I'd probably have Cincotta ahead of Motlop, Fogarty, Evans, Lord, White, Moir, Young and Haynes.

What is hard to understand is why we have so many simultaneously sadly out of form.

That will be a welcome addition for both the team and more importantly himself.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

I'm labelling him borderline because the MC rate him borderline. As mentioned, he was fit for parts of last year but was playing 2's.
People can and will have different opinions on players. I'm not arguing individuals, just stating that they are not 'significant'. Senior bodies who may or may not be best 22, but not significant.
Charlie, Cripps, TDK, Weitering, Walsh....are significant.

Good news on H and even better on Carroll

Moir out durdin in makes sense. 

I'd consider dropping Lewis Young too.  Whilst he has actually performed ok, there are times where he has panic merchant disposal the ball away because he hates contact. 

Boyd should come back sooner or later too.

I think you're confusing Cincotta with Cowan.

Cincotta was injured early last season, if I recall he was recovering from a shoulder injury he carried at the end of 2023 right through the finals ( 15 straight games), then resuming in the 2s in 2024 played 16 straight senior games before being injured again in the last round and missing the finals with his current hip complaint.

Cowan was in and out of the 2024 side across the season, dropped twice.

Both of them are in my best 30 odd.  Particularly with Newman out.
