Blues pair comes through VFL testSam Edmund | March 21, 2009
CARLTON will almost certainly include Heath Scotland and Andrew Walker in its Round 1 side to face Richmond after both cruised through a VFL intraclub match yesterday.
Walker, who has been plagued by persistent shoulder injuries during the pre-season, and Scotland, who is recovering from groin surgery, performed well in a Northern Bullants hitout at Visy Park.
The duo, along with promising draftee Mitch Robinson, played a half and showed encouraging signs.
All three are expected to line up against the Tigers at the MCG on Thursday night.
Walker showed zip around the stoppages, while Scotland had the ball on a string across half-back.
Setanta O'hAilpin was solid in the ruck for three quarters, while Brad Fisher moved well across half-forward.
Chris Yarran, the No. 6 pick in the draft, showed flashes of brilliance but was quiet overall.
