Re: Rnd 4. Carlton vs Essendon. Sat 21st. @ 1.45 pm @ MCG
Can't wait for this one already. Another big test in front of another big crowd - bring it on!
After a performance like tonight it's pretty difficult to single out someone for demotion to the reserves. Very even performance from the boys, we had no-one that put in a 'bad' performance.
The only player I could justify sending to the Northern Blues would be Lucas. Certainly wasn't a poor performance, but he was probably our worst performer on the night.
If Walker is ready I'd bring him in, at Lucas' expense. Not interested in bringing him back in if he's even the slightest bit underdone though - we have the depth to cover for him.
Armfield definitely won't be dropped but he may pull up a little sore. His pace would be a real bonus against the Bombers but we're in a position where we don't have to risk anyone - particularly this early on in the season.
Out - Lucas, In - Walker is the only change I'd be considering, but again that's dependent upon Walker and whether or not he's ready, and of course how the rest of the boys pull up.
