Rd 4: Pre Game Pressure: Carlton vs. Western Bulldogs

[LP]

At long last there is some legitimate pressure on a few senior blokes this evening... including, Phillips, Casboult & Rowe. In fact Phillips is bloody lucky to be playing tonight ahead of Jones.

Unless Phillips has a blinder tonight we'd have to replace him with Jones and have Levi playing 2nd ruck.

If any of the small forwards don't put in tonight then Den Den would have to be considered.

Jones and Jaksch are already ahead of Everitt.

I suspect Phillips is playing at the moment because of a lack of confidence in Kreuzer's fitness. But I agree, he must be under significant pressure to hold a spot at the moment which is a good thing.

Andrejs Everitt is an interesting one, because he has all the ability but I suspect he is going to fall short in meeting Bolton's demand for unity and effort.
