Over to you...

[Presti35]

Cloke is going to kick 16 goals.

[Presti35]

And one behind.

[MagpieBat]

Squad is out, with the extended senior interchange bench...

B: Ben Sinclair, Jonathon Marsh, Tom Phillips
HB: Alan Toovey, Darrean Wyatt, Tim Golds
C: Ben Crocker, Brayden Sier, Brayden Maynard
HF: Jesse White, Rupert Wills, Tim Broomhead
F: Matthew Goodyear, Travis Cloke, Jarryd Blair

Int (from): Jack Hellier, Jordan Collopy, Ash Close, Ben Moloney, Jordan Kelly, Nick Gray, Dale Hinkley, Matthew Smith, Jack Blair, Angelo Rambaldi, Will Knight, Jackson Viola, Marty Hore*

No Gault again, no Goldsack (broken thumb), but Marsh named after going down with a lower leg injury just before three quarter time last week.

Jack Blair back on deck, after missing the past fortnight with a rumoured case of appendicitis. Unfortunately, he won't get to play with his brother this week. Hopefully it happens next Saturday...

[Fire Up]

josh fraser (remember him) is coach of the blues.

[stui magpie]

Gault still suffering concussion or where there other injuries with that big hit?

[Dave The Man]

I be keeping a Very Close Eye on James Aish

[MagpieBat]

^ I reckon he'll be traveling...

[MagpieBat]

Here's the other mob's lineup, with their Carlton AFL interchange underlined...

B 26. M Dick 34. J Glass-Mccasker 27. M Jamison
HB 4. S Russell 11. K McGuinness 43. S White
C 76. J Tutt 49. D Armfield 65. D Viojo
HF 51. E Curnow 20. A Everitt 56. A Gallucci
F 67. C Smith 48. K Jaksch 36. C Wood
R 15. A Phillips 32. N Graham 1. T Wilson
Int 37. T Jones 8. B Bransgrove 25. A Brown 22. D Aujla 12. Z Ballard 23. H Kerbatieh 29. B Casley 10. T Totevski 18. D Gorringe 80. M Korcheck 31. J Foster 6. G Strachan
23P 24. T Roos

Jamison, Tutt and White are their emergencies. Take out the four AFL interchange and maybe a carry-over, leaves them with 13 AFL-listed blokes to our 11, with Korcheck and Gorringe also listed for their Development League team, so maybe one of those guys miss this game as well.

(And yes, seeing as this comes up every year, that is indeed our former log Cameron Wood)...

[John Wren]

the afl listed thing holds no weight in terms of predicted performance unless they have played more than a handful of games at senior level; it's only really useful for interest's sake.

[Rick]

Hopefully Wills puts in another strong performance and gets the call up next week.

What's happened to Lachie Ferguson?
