JLT 2018: Carlton vs St Kilda at Ikon on Wednesday

[PaulP]

Don't care about form or result - just no injuries please.

With AFLX shortening the preseason to 2 games most clubs have named their best 22 for this round.

I agree. Our guys need as much time as possible playing with each other.

Good to see Mullet getting first crack at it.

Hmm no Darcy Lang...

Classy half-forward Jack Billings and key forward Josh Bruce are the only regulars from last season who weren’t included in the 30-man squad on Monday, with Billings recovering from a minor hamstring strain and Bruce building his match fitness following a knee arthroscope.

Be interesting with Dow and OBrien vs Coffield and Clark...Saints are not that great IMO apart from a couple of bogey players like Jack Stevens, Membrey who seem to like playing us, glad Billings is
out too. Very winnable game IMO and I expect a decent showing.....

Agreed EB1.

Billings always plays like a man possessed against us...

I'm keen to see the new recruits, the draftees and the Garlett types, and their impact. And whether we will play a more attacking style.

And Big H, the 2018 monster version, in full flight.

They're going to find it hard to man up Levi, Big H and Charlie....

Carlisle will have to take Big H (do they have any other really tall defenders?), makes life a lot easier for Levi having two other key targets.

I think that’s why we need to look at the 3 talls.  None are superstars (yet) 2 are still learning the game. Giving 1 of them the chance to line up on the 3rd banana gives them a chance to take advantage. Hopefully the 3 have been working on leading patterns.
