LRT ok to play. MRP says:
"Contact between the Sydney Swans' Lewis Roberts-Thomson and Carlton's Marc Murphy from the second quarter of Sunday's match was assessed. The ball is loose with Murphy and Roberts-Thomson coming to the contest from opposite directions. Roberts-Thomson has his hands down in an attempt to win possession and makes contact with Murphy, after bracing at the last moment. After viewing all available footage and receiving a medical report from the Carlton Football Club, it could not be determined as to whether forceful high contact was made. No further action was taken."

I suppose it will depend on Pies height whether we get Armstrong or Everitt. They are the two most frequently called upon so far this season. If Armstrong is in that would allow Parker to take Jude's in-and-under role and Malceski take a bit more midfield and Armstrong to do Malceski's set-up role off half back/wing. I don't think Horse will be keen on any debutants at this late stage, or even first timers. No Morton, Mitchell, Cunningham. Only possibilities between now and October will be Seaby, White, Everitt, Armstrong & Spangher
Anyone care to comment on LTR's development as a forward? ...a running goal, if you don't mind. Struth, I almost coughed up my new teeth. Perhaps he has been ready some of the posts here and is trying to win us over. Oh yeah, after all the negative banter several of us said about those WANKERS, Carlton last week....SUFFER IN YOUR JOCKS BLUES!
Is it my imagination, or is Mattner struggling a bit lately? He seems to really lose his role when Mal is in the side.
It is interesting you said that. I noticed in the great game Mal played after his stint in the reserves, a couple of times when he got the ball and Jetta ran forward on the right to receive, Mal either ingnored or didn't see him and just took the ball forward himself. Since then Jetta's spectacular runs with a goal at the end have dried up. Now I know that Jets has been getting closely tagged and it doesn't really matter how the ball gets forward, but if there is even a little bit of substance to our observations it would suggest that individual players and their styles do have an impact on how those around them play.
I know his papers have probably been stamped by now, but would it be worth bringing in Moore for Jude? Yes, he is slow, but he is not a witches hat, and we would be replacing an experienced player with a player with a good footy brain.
