I was thinking about it, he is a chance but I think he plays like more of a swing man. Jeffy didn't play any footy towards the end of the season so in terms of smalls I think they will be Ellard, Menz and Thomas. They also picked up Tutt so I am assuming he plays through there as well if her gets a game. Yaz might spend some time down forward but I think he will be rotating and hopefully also spends some time on the wings.

I think Walker might also play forward but there are still 6 or 7 pushing for the third tall and rebounding roles. The only Carlton rookie I see possibly getting some playing time is Boekhorst. Carlton were after some pace through the middle bet I think he is a vest candidate.

Ah thats right, forgot about those boys up forward. Yeh agree on Boehorst

It has been a pretty quiet pre-season. Other then the Juddy article yesterday there has not been a lot of media coverage. I don't know if this is a bad thing

'No news is good news'.

Similar situation at the Tiges, so I'm assuming all is well.

Mat0369 · February 04, 2015, 02:32:11 PM

Well the only news is Aker is doing work experience at Carlton.

I would also love for Fev to come and teach them how to kick at goal. He had an unorthodox kicking style (one hand really low and one really high) but he was an elite shot from deep.

Some of the boys were punished after the Buller camp for losing an activity, so all had to wear suits everyday for the week to training haha.

Levi is training very well I've heard which is great news.

Juddy has a mad beard which he should keep for the season.

Pretty much, Levi's drop is his issue, even if he goes with something more unconventional like Fev's he might see his accuracy improve

One other thing that I thought of but I doubt the club would do, I think it would be interesting to have a week long camp between two teams like they do in the NFL. So for example we strike a deal with Adelaide where they come to Visy for the week or we go to Adelaide and train with them. That way we can do a lot of one on one drills together. The reason I was thinking Adelaide is the former Carlton boys in Sauce and Eddie. So that way our small defenders can work against some quality opposition in terms of ruck work and small forwards. It would benefit both clubs but I could never see it happening.

From memory I think the Scott brothers did something similar with Geelong and North

CARLTON recruit Krisitan Jaksch is eyeing off a start in the NAB Challenge after resuming full training.

The former Giant was diagnosed with a stress reaction in his left foot in mid-November last year.

The initial prognosis had Jaksch missing most of season 2015. However further scans and consultation with experts showed the 20-year-old had avoided a serious injury.
