Does anyone know why Marchbank isn't in the injury report? I know some would assume that makes him fit to play... but I didn't come down in the last shower, no sirree, not me.

With Cerra, Cottrell, Martin and (presumably) Pittonet out of last week's 22, I'm going with Hewett, Binns, Fantasia and (presumably) Williams as the replacements, with Carroll as sub/next man up. I'm assuming that ultimately, one of Pittonet/Williams will be fit to play.

But if we did lose another one, obviously Carroll goes into the 22, but who would be the sub? Surely not Young or Marchbank. Who's left? Moir? Wilson?

It's good that some of the cavalry looks like it'll arrive in time for next week, but if we're making 4+ changes every week, it'll take its toll on our cohesion. Irrespective of the actual personnel (and I do think we'll really miss Cottrell - pound-for-pound, he is probably more important to us than Cerra right now, even though Cerra was very good pre-injury last week).

has done his calf again. How good.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

You know what - we can still win.

Swans absolutely due for a loss - pressure off us and all onto them.

History making victory !!

 

[jooce8891]

Has his last 5 shots at goal been out on the full ?

i think so , but in fairness the majority of them was him blazing away on the boundary 40 out

 

[Arr0w]

He must of done it today - because the club wouldn’t have held back this news with yesterday’s injury report.

Agro, you already knew he was an out after the game

 

[kreuze_missile]

With this volume of injuries Friday night feels like it's got "honourable loss" written all over it.

 

[Arr0w]

I'd play Gov forward and bring in Marchbank

 

[Kruezing]

Agro, you already knew he was an out after the game

I think a lot of us knew he’d be out after any game

 

[BIuebagger]

We do this on Friday, it’s gonna build and bring a lot of belief to those that don’t have it already; player, staff or fan. Cotters, Cez and Martin all in a matter of days, plus the rest.
Our boys are definitely the underdog this week with a point to prove. Sometimes I think this group thrives on that perception.

Nonsense: we've been playing without Martin for most of the season... most of the last game too to be honest.

Cerra is a more substantial out but it's in an area of strength for us, certainly in terms of fit players. Cottrell is a solid foot soldier and we've got options there.

Underdog status is definitely there, but we have the cattle to win.

 

[Lukeblueboy]

I'd play Gov forward and bring in Marchbank

Yup, vossy now needs to get a little creative imo

 

[JJBagger]

With this volume of injuries Friday night feels like it's got "honourable loss" written all over it.

Or "gutsy win"

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Yup, vossy now needs to get a little creative imo

I would give Williams the role Martin plays

 

[Accidental genius]

I would give Williams the role Martin plays

Great idea so unlikely

Yeah more like fantasy in for Martin (if he’s fit)

 

[Jimmae]

I would give Williams the role Martin plays

He's no good overhead, he'd do the Fogarty role maybe.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

He's no good overhead, he'd do the Fogarty role maybe.

Is Fog a chance to play ??

 

[Lukeblueboy]

I would give Williams the role Martin plays

So would I jk and I’d also push him up through the middle at times. Also, we could bring marchy in(I’d prefer to leave him in the twos a little longer but we may not have the luxury) play him back and move gov or kemp forward.

Youve literally just highlighted Martin out of my post and tried to call me out hahaha, but you know what you are not wrong in the point you’ve made.

The point is the collective injuries take their toll. We need these more creative players across half forward back in the side; that’s Cuningham, Martin, Motlop and Fogarty now at this moment.
I want eventually some continuity in selection but it’s not happening atm. Not to mention half forward is a part of the ground we aren’t necessarily booming in at the moment.

The cattle is there, sure I agree for the most part, but for me Cottrell’s work rate will be sorely missed. Cerra out speaks for itself, would rather have him on the park. You could say in response that Binns has the tank or work rate to match Cotters, you probably will, but I value Cottrell’s game and his versatility. Just personally think he’s a bit of a loss with his work off the ball.

It is us being the underdogs, but I never said I didn’t have belief. In fact, this week I feel quite the opposite.

 

[TeeJay Blue]

I'd play Gov forward and bring in Marchbank

I wouldn't.

Somewhere in that body of Marchy's, a bone will fracture the very moment he hears he's named in the team.

The news will be too much for him.

 

[Arr0w]

I wouldn't.

We have carried way too many of them for too long

Anyway, focus needs to be on Friday now, I'm sure Voss and co are doing the same

 

[Just Kreuzing]

He's no good overhead, he'd do the Fogarty role maybe.

Just think he needs a new challenge and there is a role available, none of our replacements will be good enough overhead unless we alter our defensive structure by gifting a game to Marchbank!

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Thank god….
Crippa
Walsh
Weiters
Harry
Charlie
are all 100% fit!

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I was tempted to play Kemp at half forward on the Lizard this week. He'd be the 2nd tall when Harry goes into the ruck, if Pitto is out.

He would be the best option tank wise to combat the Lizard’s run.

Injury update: Jack Martin

Jack Martin has been ruled out of Friday night's clash with Sydney.

www.carltonfc.com.au

Wow that's 2 for 2 with Cunners and Martin. Long absence - rushed straight back into the AFL team both play ordinary games then immediately reinjure their calf the next week.

What in the name of God is going on at the club? Severe mismanagement / incompetence is the rule not the exception.
