Casey report is on the MFC site. Reading between the lines (and reading the actual lines with words):

Kent seems a lock to come in

Maynard a chance

Trenners a chance

JKH/Kennedy less likely than we thought

Would like to see with great interest what Maynard can bring to the team. There's no better time for him to debut.

 I have only seen him play live once earlier in the year against Williamstown and his physicality was impressive. Can certainly gather the ball from Casey reports, it might just work against a hardened Carlton midfield.

3, Not some shabby replacements if it happens. JKH not so sure about. Love to see Trenners.

Agree with you DubDee. Always seem to give a hint of the selection in the Casey report. 

100% depends on who they want to take out from last week. 

My outs would be: Viney (inj), Bugg (susp.), White, Wagner

Ins: Hogan, Garlett, Kent, Maynard, (Trengove if Tyson doesn't get up)

I think they put hunt back behind the ball, bring TMac back into Defense so your talls are Hogan and Pederson. I think we have performed best this season when we have had an agile forward line. Gee our back 6 would be strong with Jetta, OMac, Frost, Hunt, TMac, Hibberd

Good assessment from you i reckon. 

Hullett in the magoos for the magoos. Ouch. Doesn't sound like he played that well either. Not a good sign for his future at AFL level to be in the development league at this stage of the year.  

Heres a link btw

Very keen to see Maynard get a chance and now would be a good time

Considering that Casey, even with the return of Spencer, are still relatively light on for tall players it doesn't bode all that well for his future.  He still has time to turn it around, but he hasn't exactly done a whole lot for Casey over the last 18 months.

With a fully fit team, I reckon that should be the first picked back six. Leaves T-Mac third man up for the intercept marks. With Hogan, Watts and Pedo in the forward.

I agree, and Platty's VFL report suggested to me that he might not be too far away from an (unlikely) senior gig. However, there's no word on his elevation from the rookie list, so I'm guessing it won't happen this weekend

Gives me hope for Sunday that we still have our full strength defense against THE lowest scoring side in the league.

As someone else said, they can play T Mac down back and have Pedo and Hogan (if he plays) as our key talls. 

They'll beat us in the midfield battle but hopefully our back 6 will have a clear victory and provide great rebound to our mids and forwards.

Also Marchbank & Weitering in some doubt.

I have no idea why some are quick to write us off for this game, even if with the injuries.  We've proven this year that we are never out of games - regardless of how badly we played last week, we were still within striking distance.

This game will be close to be say 'we won't win' is wrong and we've proven that time and time again this season.

It's a little sad. I like to think we're a very good team with a deep list, last week's game came at a bad time and we'd probably have lost to any team. I'm actually fairly confident in who we bring in, we lose a lot of grunt but we have reliable talent everywhere. I'm confident we've transitioned from "developing" to "finals" side. Pretty confident. I don't understate Carlton's improvement and I think they've been good the past month. But they've also been belted a few times this year, so...

Carlton supporters are strangely confident on BigFooty. They're speaking like a finals side. I hope we really drill into them and let them know the difference. Carlton has pushed us around for a decade. Not as bad as North or Hawthorn or St Kilda, but two wins since 1998, it's getting tiring, especially after dominating them in the 2000s (excluding 2006 when they beat us twice and only won 3 games for the year ...).

I have never seen him play but he did look like a bloody hulk in some of the preseason pics.

Sounds as if he will struggle to stay listed.

Do any regular Casey watchers see any real hope?

And Rowe apparently suffering an extremely delayed recurrence of concussion.

Apparently Hogan may be rubbed out for this one as well.....

Swans didn't kick badly in the first quarter. Most shots were from distance or wide. No glaring misses. Defence was the only redeeming feature on a poor night.

You must have been watching a different game

Do yourself a favour and watch a replay of the first quarter.

There stuck in the good old days and cant accept the reality that as far as besting  our team on a continual basis, the tide has well and truly turned,
