Apparently available R2. Lang looks to be ready then also.

Graham and Townsend were damaging in the finals and I hope we have done our homework and get the right matchups....

SOS recruited the bloke, give him a call - and a spray!

I will watch with more than a little hope for a win but it will be a stiff test for us for sure. Tiger outs are certainly handy for us.

The team for Rd 1, 2017:
CARLTON
B Lachie Plowman, Jacob Weitering, Kade Simpson
HB Harrison Macreadie, Sam Rowe, Caleb Marchbank
C Sam Docherty, Bryce Gibbs, Jarrod Pickett
HF Dennis Armfield, Levi Casboult, Matthew Wright
F Ed Curnow, Jack Silvagni, Dale Thomas
FOL Matthew Kreuzer, Patrick Cripps, Marc Murphy
I/C Sam Petrevski-Seton, Billie Smedts, Charlie Curnow, Simon White
To me, the team for tonight is better.
No army, Smedts or White, no Pickett (who this time last year was pretty unfit) and the young blokes eg SPS, Charlie, Weiters are all that extra year more experienced, fitter etc.
Moreover Kennedy, Garlett, Mullett are all experienced at senior AFL level. Indeed Mullett has played a finals match.
Thomas too, looks in good nick and in form.
Our backline looks formidable, our midfield deeper and better balanced.
The Tigers will be short favourites - and rightly so.
Doesn't mean they'll win though.

I say this every year. Previous seasons form and performances are gone and are history. Tonight we start fresh and full of hope. I hope we put in a performance that matches the hype and expectation surrounding our young team. We have a great opportunity to play the reigning premiers and rain on their flag unfurling parade. The guys have been setting themselves for this one, lets hope take this opportunity with both hands and kick the Tiggers asses. Dare to Dream.
Go Blues

No Gibbs, Docherty and Rowe either FB.
However, I do think that it is a more evenly balanced team with our lesser players a step up from last season’s opening round 22. The addition of Liam Jones is a huge positive - and I never thought that I would say anything like that about him!
Re: Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game - BluePhantom - 03-22-2018
The club seems to be keeping a really low profile in the media with no puff pieces just a couple of stories about some of the boys and their journey.
Last couple of years before the season started there were no end of feel good stories.
I think it is great, keeping the powder dry and remaining focused on the task at hand.
Go New Blues!
