A few ex Carlton AFL/VFL listed players running around in the oppo.

Poor ol' Cunners looks like he finally gave up the battle, gone the full Mil Hanna

 

[carlton_99]

What's happening with Ethan Phillips? Bit odd he's an EMG

 

[Benaly28]

Gee that’s a good side.Expect some players to be on managed minutes.

 

[GoBlues!]

Derksen in the forward line, hope he does well and gets a run in the seniors we need some goal kicking forwards.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

What's happening with Ethan Phillips? Bit odd he's an EMG

Squeezed out by AFL players getting priority.
Won't happen too often and might still come in depending on emergencies held over for seniors.
Who's our #2 ruck?

I’m always a glass half full guy, but in recent years having lots of AFL listed players in the 2’s has produced underwhelming results - desperate to be proved wrong tmrw though!

Might also find that players like Cottrell, Saad & Newman play limited game time.

Who's our #2 ruck?

Harvey can second ruck I think

I wouldn't have recognized him.

 

[ctwenty1]

Not good for the ressies team but we will be cellar managing some minutes of some senior players, which I guess is a good thing for us given our upcoming schedule of games

 

[Coona Blues]

Despite the quickish back up, I doubt this is the case. Can’t see an AFL listed player we would want playing less than 3/4’s. We will probably hold out two emergencies who would be in the mix for round 4.

Might have had to do a couple of extra things to get himself on the park.

One game in a row is tough.

A bit annoying Cerra isn’t playing. Given the length of his injury absence he could’ve benefitted with some managed minutes game time IMO.

 

[ParaBellum]

When was the last time we had this many Carlton listed players in the same VFL side?
Or this many players with AFL experience, or total AFL games?

 

[ctwenty1]

A bit annoying Cerra isn’t playing. Given the length of his injury absence he could’ve benefitted with some managed minutes game time IMO.

Well I hope we bring him back through the two’s even if he is ready

 

[DangerousD]

Why’s the game played at Essendon?

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Anyway to watch this?

AFL app or Foxtel footy channel

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Why’s the game played at Essendon?

Think that may be a misprint....according to the AFL website, it's at Princes Park

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Apart from being represented strongly by senior list players, it gives a clear picture of the lack of developing KPF’s, as well as the same list depth down back also…

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

A bit annoying Cerra isn’t playing. Given the length of his injury absence he could’ve benefitted with some managed minutes game time IMO.

Odds on the MC rush him straight back in next week…
Off to the casino to put the house on it…

 

[Aphrodite]

Team ...

 

[SolGoodman]

Strongest res side I can remember seeing.

 

[carlton_99]

Looks like Boyd is the carry over emergency
