Gov played out the game and can't see him missing.

I can't see why on form we would bring Marchbank in.

Pittonet won't be ready to play and we look much better with 1 ruck.

I see Motlop in for Fantasia and not much else.

With rib breaks, there is a massive difference from playing on adrenalin, getting a shot or two, to backing up the following week, or in this case 5 days

Nothing to do with form

 

[Franc de Borges]

Feel like the next two weeks will decide our season. Win both and a genuine shot at winning the thing is a reality.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Players desperately need a break

Why? It's an odd phenomenon that Carlton supporters seem to have to witness. Our team desperately needs a rest when others don't. Are we actually fitter? Are we not resting enough? Are players lazy with personal recovery and prep?

Being desperate for a break 11 games in when half of them haven't even played 11 games is wild

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Other one is Carroll. If he is going to be sub I would rather see him play a full game as VFL level. Can keep playing a quarter a week. Not good for him or us

At least the VFL play on Sunday next week so can do both if needed.

Rest Gov for 1 or 2 games.
Cripps was ineffective with a mattress wrapped around his ribs late last season.

Read what I wrote. As I said many are carrying injuries and because of our injury list need to play. As such a break will do them wonders. Nothing to do with your comments

Is it a break?

Our injury list means we have to play players who would ideally not play due to soreness or injury. It also means our better players have to cover in game for some of our not so good players. We’ve had a really tough draw so far, 1 or 2 comfortable games.

Shouldn’t be that hard to understand.

And as much as they are elite athletes in elite facilities, they are still human.

What would a broken rib take.

2 weeks then they will strap him and pad it..? 3 weeks with the bye.

Even if sides don't have injuries, they don't just rest players this time of the year, they control workloads during the week

Depends how bad it is and where

 

[katmanblue]

Their last 3 home games have a combined winning margin of 14 and two of those sides are bottom 6 teams

Worried about their burst from stoppage. With jhf, butters and rozee all quicker than our incumbents.

I'd put Cincotta on Butters

The other way round sounds like a focaccia.

I think some of it would be due to our play style. Crash and bash every week would take a toll.

The club emailed interstate members a code and I got them online through Ticketek.

Thanks- well I missed that email unfortunately. Will need to contact them

 

[ozzz]

Hate that INXS song sooooo much. Reminds me of Port Powder.

 

[SurreyBlue]

State the obvious but the next 2 games either leave us battling with the pack to play finals or give us a chance for top 4 and a good platform. It’s that tight.

 

[Benga]

I'd put Cincotta on Butters

As would I, then Hewett on JHF.

Got no one else that can somewhat match Butters’ speed, bar Walsh, and I don’t trust him defensively.

Leaves Rozee on Kennedy, but he’s not 100% so hopefully plays fwd or not at all.

I thought it was clear but same people with agendas think 2+2=5. Facts are irrelevant

 

[carlton_99]

Gov out would be really frustrating (obviously a rib break is no ones fault) - we really need to be building some cohesion with that back 7.

Might be Lukosius' fault

Might be Lukosius' fault

I saw Gov go down from a hit but was too far away to see it clearly
