Dyson would be the likely choice! Hope Nash gets over his injury soon

I would love to see Gumby debut though. That would be awesome.

Bring in Dyson. Like for like. Hope he can now follow Winderlich and step up to the plate. He has the skill ... does he have the desire?

Dyson will come in hopefully. He has played well recently in the magoos. Maybe one of Johns/Gumby/Neagle in for Heff if we need another tall.

Nope, bring back Dyson, and leave Laycock as the 3rd tall forward, with the occasional run in the ruck.

Spot on, Carlton's rucks are horrid, I mean Cameron Cloke and Ackland I think are their main two, Hille can beat them for 3/4 of the game with Laycock beating them for the other 1/4. If we want to stretch them up forward both Laycock and Hille have proven to be good whilst resting up forward. I don't see the need to bring in Johns/Gumby/Neagle yet. Really hope Dyson gets the call up, I think he may be similar to winderlich, we all know he has it but might take a little longer to get there. Hopefully he can do it a bit quicker than winderlich though, this season should see him step up and I think come next season Dyson will be a regular 22.

Dyson should come in but we want someone to play a similar role to what Welsh did where he dragged away a defender from Lloyd and Lucas.

May be worth giving him a try. Especailly against quite a weak defence.

I know this won't be a popular choice, but I would like to see Kepler come back in for Welsh. Seemed to play pretty well in the game against Adelaide, and does give the taller option others are talking about.

Gumby for mine. You don't get a better game to blood a youngster than carlton at the 'G - young opposition, big crowd.

ANZAC day?

Gumby is not ready, needs more time. There is no reason to bring him in anyway, the team is going ok and we arent out of the finals race yet.
