Rd 6: Pre Game Palaver: Carlton vs. Essendon

[Amers]

Charlie Curnow out with 'illness' 3 days before the game.......that doesn't sound good.

Have you seen Bolts pre-match interview, what he said about Charlie came across to me as Charlie is a young player who has worn himself out and needs a rest. Nothing sinister, just managing his work/play load.

Someone should go straight to Crowley and knock him clean out!  >

So why not rested? Just call it what it is...

Gibbs might get Goddard...of course the Bombers have picked the three ins... Crowley, Simpkin and Polkinghorne..reckon the former
and the latter might be acquainting themselves with Cripps at some stage....
I would have had White in as this game might get a bit nasty...

If Gibbs can shut down Goddard, and be creative as well, that would be a huge win IMO. If he can't do both roles, it seems a waste to use him solely as a tagger.

Who knows!! Fair call.

What if he's actually unwell?

Someone on TC suggesting he might have glandular fever.

"AFL advises Andrejis Everitt has replaced Michael Jamison as one of Carlton's emergencies for tomorrow's rd game v Essendon."

Interesting. Everitt has already played a half with the Northern Blues.  Wouldn't bother to make a change if Everitt wasn't going to be used.

Every little bit helps.

Grahams selection can only mean he wasnt dropped for poor form, rather not suited to Subi and/or no match up for him last week. To be recalled this week without playing in the twos at all confirms this to me.
