Last week 14 Carlton players were named and 7 actually played. This week 8 Carlton players are named. I wonder how many will actually take the field?

Very nice to see Armfield out there. I hope he is over his injury. (Please excuse the spelling mistakes: I'm still under the influence of the strange chemicals I was given in Hospital.)

I note with interest that Giles is NOT named in this side this week. I don't know what that may mean, but I don't like it.
Half of our guys will have to introduce each other to the rest before the game.

Kreuzer had the same stuttered return so it might not be an issue.

Geelong Cats  5.2  9.5  15.8
Northern Blues  2.1  3.5  3.5

Not good.

[crashlander]

GOALS: Jones 2, Johnson.
DISPOSALS: Cattapan 23, Wilson 17, Perry 15, Strachan 13, Jones 12.

Actually, I wonder how many senior list players are playing?

Geelong Cats  5.2  9.5  15.8
Northern Blues  2.1  3.5  3.5

Not good.

They are missing Watson.

[crashlander]

GOALS: Jones 2, Johnson.
DISPOSALS: Cattapan 23, Wilson 17, Perry 15, Strachan 13, Jones 12.

Actually, I wonder how many senior list players are playing?

I had to ask:  Fields, Jones, Holman, Johnson, Russell, Viojo-Rainbow

Armfield was a late withdrawal.

Now they are missing Aurrichio as well: he went off after a heavy knock.

[crashlander]

Walton has a goal, and we have a few more points as well. Playing a bit better.

[crashlander]

Goal to Rainbow. Aurrichio back on and took a strong mark.

[crashlander]

Russell goals only moments after missing a set shot. Still well behind, but making a good fist of it this quarter.
Goal to Geelong, but then Waltom gets another.
