Carlton to elevate star rookies - Joseph and Jacobs promoted

We should all know by 2pm later today

The Blues will notify the AFL by today's 2pm deadline.

Clubs without two veterans can select a "nominated" rookie, which makes them available to play senior football all year.

Carlton has no veterans on its list and can elevate two rookies.

Ruckman Robert Warnock was last week put on the long-term injury list after suffering another setback in his recovery from a stress fracture to his left foot.

Warnock's injury allows the Blues to elevate three rookies before Round 1.

But Blues football manager Steven Icke yesterday indicated it would be two, rather than three.

Ruckman Sam Jacobs is almost certain to earn a senior call-up, while goalsneak Jeff Garlett and former Port Adelaide midfielder Greg Bentley are also in contention.

And Aaron Joseph won praise for his tagging job on Gary Ablett in the NAB Cup semi-final.

Carlton is confident Brendan Fevola will be fit for Round 1, despite suffering a bruised heel against Fremantle on Saturday.

Carlton will seek permission from the AFL to run as many as five senior players in Friday's Northern Bullants intra-club match.

You are our regular little news hound aren't you A - god bless your cotton socks.

Well that's rather strange because I would of thought they'd want to go for three. No doubting in my mind that Garlett will get the gig and then it could really be any of the others bar lachie hill and stanton.

I would have thought so as well, but I am sure that the Club has to get permission from the AFL for a third rookie seeing though Warnock is on the LTI.

Who's this "BD" you've been associating with? Should I be worried? Also - Sauce, Garlett, AJ. You know it makes sense.

Maybe Warnock won't be out for that long

No need to worry Thy, they make roller doors

 

[Warsaw]

8 weeks me thinks

Is that like 8 days?

 

[Aphrodite]

Is that like 8 days?

[Warsaw]

Shame about the wablues own Warnock (in a round about way) and sounds like Ellard may be gone daddy gone.
Shame about the way it may turn out

 

[HBF]

Jacobs and AJ for mine.
I'd like Garlett to have some games with the Bullants first, and maybe put some more muscle on.

Jacobs and AJ would really have an immediate impact in our 22.

Ellard definately needs a rather large year with the ants to hold on. Hopefully he can

Welcome Sauce to round one Will be thrilled if he is promoted.

A more than deserving kid who has worked his backside off.
