A good source from the coaching staff of an VFL club(not an AFL club) has informed that there are two late changes to the Carlton team for tomorrow's game against St Kilda - anyone know who the players might be?

Just heard on SEN, Troy Longmuir isn't playing for the Bullants today, they weren't sure whether he is injured, or if he'll be playing for the Blues tomorrow.

Hopefully they can give more information in within the hour.




You can listen to SEN online here.

Currently talking to Digby Morrell.

Jordan Bannister, David Teague and Trent Sporn are the named emergencies.
T-lo would be expensive then?

Longmuir was an emergency.

I reckon Kouta must be one of the 'big' outs as it was said that he missed training one day this week and nobody was willing to say why...IMO it will give the youger guys more of an oportunity as Kouta hasn't been in the best of form so far this year...But i honsetly have no clue who the outs could be...Just a guess

Lance for his first taste of captaincy if this happens??

Bannister and Sporn playing Bullants.

Could have sworn i just heard Sporn's name too...

Not according to this: http://afl.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&s ... eid=267100

If that were the case why would all 3 emergencies be playing for the Bullants? Longmuir was replaced by Teague as emergency & I believe he has an injury & will not play at all this weekend. I think I can tell you what you can do with that rumour!

Teague is apparently playing on the ball...

If there are two late changes it'll be two blokes who've played today...

Un-f&*$ing-believeable.

St Kilda are going into tomorrow's game without a ruckman, and all we're throwing at them is McLaren.



French is doing well for the Bullants


PS. Just remembered, Digby did say that Longmuir had a fitness test during the week, and he couldn't/didn't say whether or not he passed.

All three emergencies are playing today, and they haven't mentioned any late withdrawls. For the record, qtr time, Bullants 1.3 - 9 v Dolphins 1.0 - 6 Bryan kicked our goal

If there were any doubts about anyone the emergencies would not be playing today.

It could be that the late changesd for tomorrow could be on St. Kilda's side... maybe Ball out?

Maybe the club is playing funny buggers and Bower hasn't had an opeartion on his knee, it was all part of an elaborate cover up for his debut on Nick Reiwoldt

David Schwartze on SEN said too that there would be 2 big "outs" for Carlton tomorrow and was going to say more after 1pm on SEN. I fell alseep in the chair bfeore 1pm and just woken up, so, in true Sgt Schultze fashion "I know nothingggggg". Also got to find that Richmond was 15 points up at half time while I was in dreamland. Funny game footy, changes so quickly from week to week.

That's all we need, The Crows losing to Richmond. We'll be getting them on the rebound!

Remaining Unnamed
Bower (inj?)
Edwards
Smith (rookie)
Longmuir
Hartlett (inj?)
Davies (inj?)
Fisher (inj?)

Those are the players who haven't been identified (by me) to have played or be playing a game today, but are not named in our 22.

If everything being said around here and the club's injury list is to be believed, only Edwards and Longmuir could be playing tomorrow if we have two changes, unless Smith comes up onto the Senior list for one of Davies (listed as indefinite) or Fisher (up to 8 weeks).

But wouldn't there have been a media release to state there had been an elevation?

I don't think this rumour has a lot of basis. One bloke coming straight up from the VFL ressies (albeit he looks a good physical specimen to replace Lappin long term) in Edwards and a bloke you wouldn't think would even get the gig in Longmuir.

Anything other than playing players who are currently playing a VFL would invoke a fine, and that's just stupid.

so edwards didn't play vfl reserves?

RiverRat, over on CSC, claims Longmuir didn't pass his fitness test on Friday. He reckons they had a great session, but Longmuir did very little and will be on the sidelines.

With Sporn getting 30odd possessions for the Bullants again and the others apparently playing, it doesn't look like any late changes at the moment.

I wasn't at the game, so I don't know.

Ok RR says Longmuir is underdone as well, and BW reckons Smith scored a mention in the coverage.

Remaining Unnamed
Bower (inj?)
Edwards
Longmuir (inj?)
Hartlett (inj?)
Davies (inj?)
Fisher (inj?)

So that leaves just Edwards, who probably played in the VFL ressies.
