NAB Challenge: Carlton vs. Sydney at Etihad

[laj]

Desperately short in the forward line once you factor in the resting ruckman and Gorringe as useless.

Jaksch is potentially the most important player on our list (structurally) which makes it a big concern that he's so out of favour.

FF Lamb / Walker / Jaksch
HF Everitt / Casboult / Wright

I think that's our best forward line for the season but we're replacing Jaksch / Everitt with Phillips / Gorringe. Pretty depressing first 3 weeks ahead while Bolton figures this out.

It was mentioned on BF that Jaksch was recently hospitalised as he was ill and lost a bit of weight/conditioning. Might explain his absence from the squad if true. Is playing forward in the VFL today.
