What would be Hughes preferred position? Half-back?

Had a ripper game but doesn’t seem right for the Pearce role, maybe Duman or Johnson if necessary.

Fyfe in for Walters if suspended, if not then who? Ballantyne or Tucker probably.

Can’t believe I’m not even considering Cam Mac or Sandi?
Someone else said they don’t put on enough pressure - I’d have to agree. Ape, Cox and Jones aren’t perfect but they really throw themselves at the footy and at the opposition. With that said one of them might be a likely in.
 
First contest of the game came up limping.
Within the first 5 mins from memory.
Week off may be a blessing in disguise.

As well as the Sonny's brainfade in the media snippets. No doubt he'd feel a tad sheepish and will be a better player for it.
 
Yep id leave sandi out and i d almost give mickey a rest if he gets off.
Definitely carrying a niggle
Just wasnt his usual awesome self

So pearce,walters out
Fyfe and hughes in(would prefer duman,think ethan needs to show good form for bit longer but sounds like dumans done for a bit too)

Honestly quite liking the makeup of the side Sandi-less so would persist with that (we'll probably be without him next year so don't mind seeing how we line up without). Real team effort so wouldn't be dropping anyone else (even Ballas). The guys at Peel can build some selection pressure.

OUT: Walters, AP
IN: Fyfe, Hughes

Hughes probably doesn't fit the role perfectly but not particularly worried about Carlton's forward line so feel we don't really need Johnson. Keep the rebuild rolling.
 
Only forced changes please!
No auto return for Cam-Mac, Sandi or Johnson.

Would do Duman for AP if possible, otherwise Hughes and could shuffle around with Ryan perhaps taking a bigger opponent.
Fyfe for Walters.

Crowden 27 touches and 11 tackles - should be primed for return post-bye.
Sandi could use another rest.
 
Out Jones (please!!, Walters( if suspended). Pearce
In . Fyfe , if sandy does not return please not Jones !! to keep his spot .Does anybody else get the message i don't rate Jones .Duman.
 
IN - Fyfe, Duman
Out - Walters, Pearce

Sandi can just have the week off for mine. Hope he's right, purely for the mans wellbeing but at his age and with what he's done for the club; there's really no need to chuck him in and make him travel with the by coming up. Especially with Ape and Jones both playing their hearts out (still not Sandi but you'll take it)

I'd say Ballas will be on edge next week too, with McCarthy performing well (tackle numbers up) and a taller forward line - I'm sure if he can add a few goals to his name this week and keep good tackle numbers he'll be pushing selection again, as will crowden.

Can't believe this rest Sandi talk. He's had two weeks off and Kruzer is one of Carlton's few good players. Sandi neturalises him and allows Apeness more time up forward.

Out: Walters, AP, Jones
In: Fyfe, Sandi, Hughes

I think Sandi’s concussion might be worst than first thought. At the end of the day there’s life after footy and it’s best not to risk further damage.

In: Fyfe and Dunman(if fully recovered from CarGate)

Out: AP and Walters

If they feel Kersten, Hamling and Nyhuis(does play tall)can cover Carlton’s talls maybe Crowden is a chance to replace Walters and Dunman back to the 2nds if up and running?
 
Assuming SHill isn’t ready and Walters is not suspended, then:

Outs: Pearce, Jones
Ins: Fyfe, Sandi

Sandi has already had 2 weeks off and gets another rest the week after. At his age he can’t have no game time for a month. He and Apeness will work over Cruze beautifully in tandem.

If Walters misses then I’d pick Duman if fit; Hughes if not.
 
Why the bloody hell are people bringing back McCarthy so soon? He was shit on the weekend and looked lost in the structure. Give him 4-5 weeks before even considering him. I'd want him to kick some bags in Peel like Taberner did last year.
