Jack Martin strained a calf at training and will be out for our game.

Against "premiership favourites Sydney" apparently!

Talented forward out as injury toll mounts for Blues ahead of Friday night blockbuster

While I rarely place a bet these days, I've recently been checking the odds, and we have been favourites for at least the last couple of weeks. Currently we're showing $4.50 on a couple of sites, ahead of GWS at $6.00, Carlton at $7.00, closely followed by Collingwood, Geelong and Melbourne.

The Brownlow odds are similar. Heeney is at $4.50, followed by Daicos, Merrett and Cripps, at around the $7.00 - $7.50 mark.

Of course, there's a long way to go and a run of injuries can quickly change the outlook, but I think our current favouritism is deserved.

Looks like no Parker this week either

Roberts managed

Good change - Roberts has been fantastic but his form has tapered and I hope Campbell carry’s in his confidence he has had in the 2s last few weeks

[Auntie.Gerald]

Probably in the middle of what selections everyone expected

50/50 Parker-didn’t make it
80/20 Campbell in and he did
50/50 Francis to stay in the starting side and he did
80/20 Robbo to get a week off after looking tired and he did

Campbell for Roberts it is. The sub choice will be interesting as they won't want Fox to do it weeks in a row.

Carlton: Marchbank, Carroll, Fantasia and Williams for Cowan, Martin, Cerra and Cottrell.

So Pittonett stays, which makes Fox starting even more likely as they'll have three talls down forward.

And George Hewett is their sub.

Perhaps Wicks. No shots on goal, 2 tackles, 7 pressure acts last week.

Fox into 22 and Campbell the sub seems the most obvious to me

[Nico]

Like for like is what we usually do. Campbell to replace Roberts on the HBF.

And George Hewett is their sub.

I dont watch many Carlton games but on paper this seems like a weird choice. Not a quick or impact player and I thought was one of their more consistent and solid midfielders?

They haven’t announced their sub

Hewitt was Carlton's sub in round 9. The subs for this week's match against Carlton haven't been named yet so far as I know.

SEN have mentioned a so-called "Fremantle curse" this year: all teams that have played Fremantle have lost their next match.

The Fremantle ‘curse’ that would give Carlton plenty of hope against Sydney
