Great to see Cripps back, but damn it's going to be like lambs to the slaughter. Missing from the squad:
Bryce Gibbs
Sam Docherty
Marc Murphy
Kade Simpson
Levi Casboult (wasn't sure whether to list this as a bad thing or not) :-\
Also Jack Silvagni and Daniel Gorringe out.

Rumor is Cripps will go on the trip but not play, he is taking the opportunity to visit friends and family.
Would you play him a quarter though, is it really worth the risk?
Obviously without Kreuzer we will have Korcheck and Jones ruck. Sandilands is rumored to be back this week, ouch!
Keen to see how Williamson, Polson and Macreadie go.
Heat must be on Sumner, Cuningham, Armfield, Jaksch, Graham, Lamb and Boekhorst.

Hmm. I think as an entity, we have to leave this decision somewhat up to the player. Cripps is the sort of player where if he declares himself fit, you find a spot in the team for him. Even if you play him at full forward, and run him on the ball once a quarter.
If he puts his hand up, then that means he feels good about playing, unless you know that he can't do what you want him to, he gets a guernsey.

I hope they don't ruck McKay, Sandilands has a marking contest habit of burying those massive knees of his in the small of an opponents back.

We are playing StK at Ikon Park. I think people are confused with next weeks game over in WA vs Fremantle...........

Suspect you've got your weeks mixed up Spotted One. Freo is next week.

Really, really love seeing the kids/newbies getting a go, plus giving Pickett, Fisher and LeBois more game time. This is really good use of the JLT series (rather doing what we did under Pagan and set out to be February/March champs!).

Yes, we're playing the Saints at IP this Saturday.
It might be lambs to the slaughter, but this is exactly what we need.
No more hiding Nick Graham, Dylan Buckley, Blaine Boekhorst, Jed Lamb, Liam Jones, Billie Smedts, Sam Kerridge, Liam Sumner, Kristian Jaksch, Simon White, et al. Let's see if you blokes have even slightly what it takes to be a top consistent AFL-worth footballer that we can rely on and be an AFL Carlton man in our best 22. The heat is on, as the past legend Glenn Frey would say!
Time to be men, and stand up, not behind Judd (in the past), Cripps, Gibbs, Murphy, Simpson, Docherty, etc.
We'll get thumped, BUT, let's see who exactly does stand up.
We'll see some lads exposed on Saturday. And, we might see some become AFL footballers. It just might be the making of some. It's what we need IMHO!
