Changes for Rnd 9 V Carlton.

[giant]

Could be a few changes this week.

How about? Outs. Goodes (rest), Rohan (injured), McVeigh (suspended), and Shaw (omitted).

Ins might be Jones, probably Towers although i'm not a fan, Naismith and Robinson.

Goodes seriously?

Goodes seriously?

Agree, Goodes will stay in to continue his progressive week by week improvement, and Carlton will be the perfect opposition for him to tune up some more. If there are some who are a bit sore and could benefit from a rest, I'm cool with that too, it would be good to give a couple of the young guys a run, ie; Hewitt, Robinson, and as for Jones, just drop Shaw FFS!

Excellent work Ludwig

Hope Malthouse doesn't get sacked before Friday. The chance of his demise seems to be accelerating.

[AnnieH]

They're waiting until Round 11 to sack him.

I think we should give all the firsts a rest this week and play the ressies.
We'll still win.
Comfortably.

Well Malthouse made some comments this AM which suggest the decisions done, and maybe he has forced their hand.

Carlton = shambles

I doubt that sympathy for Malthouse's predicament would be a factor on Friday, but I hope it is not and minds are on nothing more than winning the game. I want ruthlessness like Geelong at the SCG last year and a handy percentage boost.

Goodes seriously?

Best game he has played for 12 months. He is probably very sore. Just a thought, i'd be surprised if he played every game this season.

It's a fairly good bet he will miss games during the year to manage him, but it's difficult to see him sitting out indigenous round unless injured..

I agree, just not sure Malthouse will even be coach Friday.

Teams fresh off an exiting coach are unpredictable. Go for the throat we must.

Goodes to some great contested marks, but the skyrocket from Pyke which led to Maccas 2nd goal was unreal. He had 2 opponents and still managed to mark it easily.
And it is always a difficult one to judge when it has gone over the dark side.

Things are getting desperate down at Carlton

Funny, but a bit harsh, Ludwig. I am no friend of Mr Grumpy but he has proven to be a smart, formidable coach. The problem at Carlton is the cattle.

That picture relies on the fact that once sacked MM will be on the streets staving.

Just no.
