Walker shoulder, Murphy reported. No all good news for the Blues.

[one-eyed]

AndrewWalker has had his scan on his shoulder but Carlton won't comment until tomorrow when he sees the specialist. Sounds like he could miss otherwise you would think the Blues would've said he was okay.

Their young ruckman Shaun Hampson has had arthroscopic work done on his knee and he could miss 1-2 weeks. So he is doubtful for round 1 too.

If Walker, Murph and Hampson miss Round 1 you'd think we have to be some chance.

Carlton have Fa depth.

Id fancy Simmo/Patto against Cloke/Ackland

No Fisher either.

Walker is apparently out for 10-12 weeks.
Hampson to miss 1-2 weeks.

It won't surprise me though if Murphy is let off his charge.

Ch 10 news reckons Murphy will escape suspension.

Blues' Walker might miss 10
Michael Gleeson | March 11, 2008

FOR the second time in months, Andrew Walker is likely to have shoulder surgery this week, sidelining him for up to 10 weeks.

Walker could have surgery to tighten the shoulder as soon as tomorrow, a process that would leave him out for between eight and 10 weeks and that, in a best-case scenario, would have him back in the side by about round seven. Equally, it could cost him virtually half a season should the recovery labour.

The Blues also today are awaiting the match review panel's assessment of the match-day report of onballer Marc Murphy for front-on contact with Bulldog Mitch Hahn in Friday afternoon's practice match.

Murphy clearly collided with Hahn, who had his head over the ball, but it could be argued Hahn ran into Murphy as much as Murphy into Hahn.

The Blues are confident promising ruckman Shaun Hampson will be fit for round one despite having minor arthroscopic surgery on his knee on Saturday. Hampson pulled up sore from Friday's practice game and the decision was made to immediately clean up the knee.

A piece of floating bone had been catching in the knee when the ruckman jumped and, with a week off before the first game, it was decided he could have the procedure now and still potentially be fit by round one. He is expected to be back training next week.

Midfielder Adam Bentick, who has been hampered by an adductor strain, is expected to play his first practice game of the pre-season this weekend for the Bullants.

He may yet be joined by vice-captain Nick Stevens, with the club likely to apply to the AFL for permission for Stevens to play in the VFL practice games this weekend.

Having had the same problem id say he will be out for 4-5 weeks unless they fill him with pain killers.

Was thinking the same.  Two week injury, especially to a big ruckman with extra weight on it?  I'd be surprised with a round 1 return.

From: Chris Judd tells fans not to expect miracles
Jon Ralph | March 20, 2008 | Herald-Sun

Judd will take on a Richmond side still adamant it had the better offer to lure the former Eagles captain.

Richmond football director Greg Miller has several times this pre-season hinted at interference from higher powers over West Coast's refusal to deal with the Tigers.

It was seen as crucial that Judd got to his preferred destination to ease the push for free agency, and the Eagles - with the spectre of penalties from the AFL over their drugs controversy - accepted the lower offer.

Richmond was willing to give up picks 2, 18 and 19, but Carlton gave 3, 20 and forward Josh Kennedy.

I was never keen on this deal but reading it again I am SOOOO pleased it didn't happen. It looks shocking on paper. Fingers crossed Cotch, Rance and Jordie prove to be worth it.

[Francois Jackson]

too right. stuff judd he makes me sick that bloke.
good player but i have no respect for wankers like him.

can someone just hip and shoulder the prick in the first just to let him know where there

[{X}]

judd will quickly become the most hated player in afl

[Tigermonk]

players respect him X his also one of the richest running around
you & me can hate him      big ears

[{X}]

yrue monk but its quite obv the footy fans are losing respect for the mercinary. when they crossed to him on the footy show, many ppl booed him, and his lies and arrogance are starting to get up the skin of many

judd = hypocryte, when he says something he does the opposite

so much for wanting to go to a club with great culture, success facilities, many games at the g, bla bla bla

[mightytiges]

With such a massive pump-up tonight has all the makings of a Judd anti-climax. Let's hope so and a Tiger can steal the headlines playing a blinder.
