TalkingCarlton :: View topic - Blackwell would have made his debut

would have been in line to make his senior debut had he not sustained a broken jaw in the VFL last week.

Livo or Russell in for Fev not Houlihan!

Houlihan is finished at Carlton
If he plays this week it is only through DP being desperate

Does that mean Clarke , Bannister , Johnson and Bowyer are all required players ??

They are also playing 2's

You get promoted for playing well. Livo & Russell haven't played well enough, whereas Houlihan has. Have a good look at the game tonight & you'll see.

So you watched an entire half & couldn't find one positive thing to say about him. Have you ever?

I think he will stay.. cant see us getting anything worth while for him..

I like the plan for Houla. He certainly has talent that we need in our side. Sure he is soft, but he can work on that. Perhaps he can close his eyes when he lays that blinding tackle and then opens them again when the ball bursts free and he can scoop it up to lay a pin-point pass onto Waitey's chest.

Remember Scotland was dropped mid-season for a couple of weeks in the reserves and look at him now. He has been going gang-busters for the past 2 months.

Pagan to promote Houlihan and would have promoted Blackwell If he didnt break his jaw.

Spewing, does that mean that young Blackwell won't be playing in the VFL finals ? Pity, he was coming along very well for the Bullants.

Was the broken jaw last week or the week before when Ed Darcy did a Byron Pickett by veering off the line of the ball? The replay of the match should be on ABC2 tonight so I'll be watching to see when he was injured. Livo or Russell in for Fev not Houlihan!

He'll be back when he earns his place, which could very well be this week

Houla is trade bait. If he makes it it better serve as a warning .... I think he will stay.. cant see us getting anything worth while for him..

Houla's a required player. Will not be traded. Would not be playing 2's if was trade bait.

They are also playing 2's I don't have any specific info on them but my guess is they will simply be delisted & not offered for trade. So guys playing 2's will either be kept or delisted but not traded.

Have a good look at the game tonight & you'll see. I am, it's half time! And I've already seen Houlihan over-run the ball on one occasion and stuff-up a perfect Deluca tap to Blackwell! Also saw Jordan Russell stuff up like Griffen but also make up for it! Created the play by backing his pace and then kept running 50 metres to receive and kick accurately running flat out!

You can work on your skills, you cant work on being soft....Tony Shaws outbust didnt do Houlihans trade value much good and I think Houlihan's trade value would be minimal especially with him on reasonable money... If we get more talent onto the list ie Murphy, Ellis or the like I think Ryans days of commanding a spot due to his skill level alone are over.....

How does Marc Murphy play compared to Luke Blackwell? Blackwell looks a terrific young player and is improving every week.

Houla has no ability to defend whatsoever his second anbd third efforts are below standard, he is a liability to the team when the team does not have the ball; trade him now before it's too late..
