Carlton vs Western Bullfrogs ... no, just kidding. 
Carlton
B: Kade Simpson, Sam Rowe, Zach Tuohy.
HB: Dale Thomas, Jacob Weitering, Lachie Plowman.
C: Sam Docherty, Marc Murphy, Matthew Wright.
HF: Nick Graham, Levi Casboult, Bryce Gibbs.
F: Liam Sumner, Andrew Phillips, Charlie Curnow.
Foll: Matthew Kreuzer, Patrick Cripps, Sam Kerridge.
Int: Ciaran Byrne, Jed Lamb, Ed Curnow, Dylan Buckley.
Emg: Michael Jamison, David Cuningham, Mark Whiley.
In: Lachie Plowman, Liam Sumner, Jed Lamb.
Out: Michael Jamison (Omitted), Mark Whiley (Omitted), Blaine Boekhorst (Hamstring)
New: Lachie Plowman, Liam Sumner
Very interesting to see the changes we made. Bokehorst's hamstring is not great news, but....
I was a bit surprised to see Plowman and Sumner come in. I would have given Plowman another week to get his fitness up and I don't think either Sumner or Lamb have done enough yet.
So be it. The dies is cast.
Western Bulldogs
B: Matthew Boyd, Marcus Adams, Dale Morris.
HB: Matthew Suckling, Joel Hamling, Jason Johannisen.
C: Lachie Hunter, Tom Liberatore, Shane Biggs.
HF: Liam Picken, Marcus Bontempelli, Jake Stringer.
F: Luke Dahlhaus, Tom Boyd, Caleb Daniel.
Foll: Jordan Roughead, Jack Macrae, Mitch Wallis.
Int: Toby McLean, Koby Stevens, Jed Adcock, Lin Jong.
Emg: Zaine Cordy, Tom Campbell, Bailey Dale.
In: Jed Adcock.
Out: Robert Murphy (Knee)
New: Jed Adcock
Looking at their side, they may be on the way up (they played very well last week), but they are not yet unbeatable. They do have weaknesses IF we are good enough to take advantage of them.
So far that hasn't been the case. We would have to see considerable improvements in the form of our ruckmen, defenders, mids and forwards (have I missed anyone?), but our best is good enough. Are very likely to bring our best? Hasn't looked that way yet. Our talls, in particular, have not yet managed to adjust to our new game style. Nor have Gibbs and Murphy (and to a lesser extent Cripps).
My expectations are not overly high, but hope springs eternal.
