CARLTON ruckman Matthew Kreuzer is no certainty to line up against the Saints in Monday night football after being sidelined for the past three matches with a broken thumb, Kreuzer was named in the teams on Thursday night but is no guarantee of line-up according to coach Mick Malthouse. “We’ll see how he comes up

FORMER Carlton captain Chris Judd has signed a contract extension that will add one year to his current deal and keep him with the club through to the end of the 2014 season. And Carlton fans can be hopeful that they will see him playing for them beyond that. Judd, 29, joined Carlton after the 2007

THE Carlton Football Club has announced that Jaryd Cachia will make his senior debut for the club in tomorrow’s game against Melbourne at the MCG with vice-captain Andrew Carrazzo being withdrawn due to a corked calf. Cachia, 21, was elevated from the club’s rookie list earlier this week after Nicholas Graham, the club’s third round draft pick and

CARLTON’S Jarrad Waite failed to kick a goal for the Northern Blues in his return match from a calf injury but that didn’t worry the Blues’ coaching staff who were just relieved the star forward had got through unscathed against Port Melbourne at Preston City Oval on Sunday. Waite finished with 12 disposals and six

CARLTON coach Mick Malthouse is likely to give forward Jarrad Waite at least two weeks in the VFL before he makes his AFL return ahead of his comeback match for the Northern Blues against Port Melbourne at Preston City Oval on Sunday. Waite has recovered from the calf injury that derailed his pre-season yet again

CARLTON’S Jeremy Laidler has been transformed from a defender to a forward and is slowly adjusting to the move according to Blues development coach Luke Webster. Laidler is one of new coach Mick Malthouse’s projects in attempting to play players in different positions. Malthouse has already notably changed the games of Andrew Walker (from forward

CARLTON’S mouth watering assignment against Collingwood has suffered a blow in the lead-up with news today that forward Eddie Betts has suffered a broken jaw and may miss up to a month. The Blues have already ruled out Betts, along with ruckman Shaun Hampson, who has appendicitis, for the match. “Eddie sustained the injury early

IT seems like we are constantly writing posts about Jarrad Waite, injuries and delays to his return. So it comes as almost no surprise that we are doing so again with the news emerging this morning that the Carlton forward had sustained a second calf tear last month and will miss more time. Obviously the

COLLINGWOOD star Dale Thomas is expected to miss the Pies round one clash against North Melbourne after pulling out of last night’s VFL practice match against the Northern Blues. Thomas was in line to play for some match fitness after an ankle injury derailed his pre-season. He has missed the entire NAB Cup and is

THERE is so much hype around Carlton since Mick Malthouse took over the reins and a NAB Cup final appearance (albeit a loss) has done nothing to abate it. In spite of this we can expect to see a much hungrier line-up this year

THE Brisbane Lions won their first NAB Cup against Carlton on Friday night and appear to be set for a cracking season. Certainly the positives were Josh Green’s heroic efforts up forward to combine with Jonathan Brown. Both were sensational in their commitment up forward and finishing with a bag of goals between them. Also

AFTER a long and somewhat drawn out process the Carlton Football Club has settled on star midfielder Marc Murphy as the new team captain. The announcement was made this morning at a press conference at VISY Park that was also streamed from the club’s website. While the press conference was conducted by Stephen Kernahan and Mick Malthouse, it was

The Carlton Football Club has announced that Andrew Carrazzo has signed a new contract extension that will keep the midfielder with the Blues until the end of 2015 season. Carrazzo, 29, entered the AFL through the National Draft on two occasions. Initially drafted by Geelong in the 2002  Rookie Draft he was never able to crack a

EARLIER this week Brisbane coach Michael Voss said that “he (would) take a round one win over a NAB Cup Final” now he at least has a chance at having both after the Lions dispatched Collingwood by 34 points and, in so doing, secured a berth in the pre-season grand final. In what will be

AFTER a disappointing game last week against Geelong, Adelaide’s performance against Carlton last night was going to be the subject of close scrutiny and they didn’t disappoint holding on for a three-point win in spite of a scoreless final term

CARLTON kicked into gear last night with a commanding performance that would’ve impressed new coach Mick Malthouse and fans alike against a shocked Fremantle last night

WITH a team that was missing Chris Judd, Matthew Kreuzer and Jarrad Waite, the Blues performance in their first game of the night against Greater Western Sydney was less than what was expected. Indeed for a long stretch they trailed the Giants and it was only a late goal by Levi Casboult that got the Blues

BACK in January we wrote that in suspending him for two games the Carlton Football Club had done what the legal system couldn’t do: punish Heath Scotland for an off-field incident. Now the justice system has matched the Blues and found Scotland guilty of  assault after a successful appeal today by the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions.

THE biggest personnel change for the Blues won’t kick any goals, take a mark or win a single contested possession this year but his presence will be felt everywhere.

CARLTON coach Mick Malthouse has declared that his team has the ingredients to win the flag this season. In a match program handed out prior to Carlton’s second intra-club match today, Malthouse said his team had worked intensely over the pre-season and was evidently planning to change the game style into his own. “Having been

ADAM Marcon and Kane Lambert have again been the stand-outs over summer with Carlton’s VFL affiliate, the Northern Blues. After a solid finish to last season, the Northern Blues have plenty of belief they can play finals footy this year. “The guys that played there last year Adam Marcon and Kane Lambert, best and fairest

IS this Chris Judd’s final season playing AFL? If you asked Blues president Stephen Kernahan, he wouldn’t be surprised if Judd hung up the boots at the end of the season with perhaps other career interests mind. It is believed Judd is contemplating retiring at the peak of his powers rather than going out on

MICK Malthouse’s right hand man Rob Wiley says Carlton will be a much more defensive team this season given Malthouse’s coaching history at West Coast and Collingwood. Wiley said already the Blues players have been challenged to have a more defensive mind-set and will be challenged to work as one, rather than relying on premium

THE Carlton Football Club has done what the legal system couldn’t (or wouldn’t) do: punish Heath Scotland for an off-field incident. It seems strange that Scotland could walk out of a courtroom with no conviction after a pub brawl in Mulwala (NSW) last October only to be penalised by his club. But then again maybe it’s entirely

CARLTON forward Jarrad Waite has suffered an injury scare at training today when injuring a finger. Waite, who has had a wretched run with injuries over the past two seasons, clutched his right ring finger during the session but it is unlikely to be a serious injury. It has been Waite’s most significant pre-season until

CARLTON’S Jaryd Cachia is looking to make amends from previous efforts at the Blues and could thrive in a new half back role under new coach Mick Malthouse. Cachia, who won a reprieve on the Blues list in the draft after being delisted by the Blues at the end of the 2011 season, spent the

COLLINGWOOD believes it can get Carlton discard Jordan Russell back to his best after a couple of lack-lustre seasons at the Blues.

AS reported on November 30, Chris Judd has today announced that, after five years in the role, he will step down as captain of the Carlton Football Club in for 2013. “It has been a tremendous privilege to Captain this footy club and I have thoroughly enjoyed the past five years,” Judd said in an

CARLTON Football Club chief executive Greg Swann has indicated that team captain Chris Judd may be resigning from that role for the 2013 season. The role of captain is a time-consuming one and involves a range of off-field commitments which at this point in the two-time Brownlow medallist’s career he may have lost the willingness to

IN a widening of the investigation of the Adelaide Crows, news has emerged today that the AFL moved to tighten salary-cap loopholes by informing the Carlton Football Club that they will not to approve a new third party arrangement between Chris Judd and club sponsor Visy.

NEW Carlton coach Mick Malthouse has identified the prospect of re-uniting with gun Pies forward Travis Cloke as soon as next season. And it would make for a fascinating encounter that is touted for round two next season if Cloke was to become a Blue. Cloke, who is set to become a free agent, is

Carlton Football Club President Stephen Kernahan today officially announced that Mick Malthouse has been signed as the new senior coach of the Blues to replace Brett Ratten. Malthouse, 59, has been signed to the club for the next three seasons.     &nbsp

MICK Malthouse today admits that he will meet with Carlton about its vacant coaching position but wasn’t in a hurry to do so. While Carlton has been on the front foot to suggest that Malthouse would be its No.1 man to replace Brett Ratten, Malthouse has been sketchy at best about whether he would take

THE bitter war of words between Carlton and Collingwood has stepped up a gear today with Blues president Stephen Kernahan telling the Pies to sign “every player if you want to keep them”. Responding to Collingwood president Eddie McGuire’s outburst at the Blues recently, as the Blues attempt an audacious bid to snare Pies forward

AFTER a long year of high expectations and poor results the Herald Sun has reported that the Carlton Football Club has pulled the plug on the Brett Ratten era, reporting today that this Sunday’s game against St Kilda will be his final as coach of the Blues. After playing 255 games for the club between

KEVIN Sheedy has been reappointed coach of Greater Western Sydney for 2013 which puts his senior assistant Mark Williams in line for a potential move to Carlton, perhaps under Mick Malthouse next season. Williams, the former Port Adelaide premiership coach, was a chance to take over the senior coaching position from Sheedy before it was

JUST hours after further speculation mounted on Brett Ratten’s coaching future at Carlton, the man in waiting for the Blues top job – Mick Malthouse – says he has the energy to coach once again. Speaking on 3AW radio, Malthouse said he has renewed passion to return to coaching which puts him in the frame

CARLTON’S cancer victim Sam Rowe won’t play a VFL senior match for the rest of this season but has instead looked to gain fitness elsewhere by taking part in Sydney’s City2Surf Fun Run on the weekend. Rowe told the Carlton website that his rehabilitation – in which he was diagnosed with testicular cancer – was

CARLTON forward Jarrad Waite is in line to make his AFL return against Sydney on Sunday after starring in the VFL for the Northern Blues. Blues development coach Darren Harris said Waite will be in contention for a return, perhaps sooner rather than later. “To be able to still run in his first one back

CARLTON forward Jarrad Waite’s plan to comeback from injury in the VFL has been delayed after withdrawing from today’s clash against Port Melbourne at Preston City Oval. Waite, who has suffered from hip and back problems this season, is still suffering soreness and will look to return in the VFL next week after the Blues

CARLTON forward Jarrad Waite and Essendon midfielder Brent Prismall will make long-awaited returns from injury this week in the VFL. Blues coach Brett Ratten was optimistic that Waite could resume in the AFL ranks as soon as next week with the club in desperate need of some forward power. “He’s one we would just love

THE notorious “chicken wing” incident has had its latest chapter written with two-time Brownlow Medalist and Carlton captain Chris Judd tonight being suspended by the AFL for four matches. Last Friday night  Judd tackled North Melbourne midfielder Leigh Adams and pulled back on his shoulder while he was on the ground and yesterday the Match Review

CARLTON’S season is on the slide and the pressure on coach Brett Ratten will only intensify over the coming days after another disastrous loss to North Melbourne by 53-points at Etihad Stadium last night. Ratten, despite being contracted until the end of next season, is under the microscope and although the Blues hierarchy maintain that

CARLTON skipper Chris Judd is on report and appears likely for a stint on the sidelines following a crude ‘chicken wing’ tackle on North Melbourne midfielder Leigh Adams last night. The Brownlow Medallist pulled out his right shoulder with Adams face down on the ground in a pack and Adams left the field immediately in

AFTER a week of hell the Carlton Football Club found redemption of Friday night with an emphatic and unexpected 23 point victory over Collingwood

COLLINGWOOD midfielder Sharrod Wellingham looks set to be suspended after delivering a late hit to Carlton’s Kade Simpson that saw the latter’s jaw being broken on Friday night The incident occurred in the third term when Wellingham collided late and high with Simpson. While it has been described in some media outlets as a marking contest it

CARLTON will be relieved to hear that Pies midfielder Scott Pendlebury will miss tomorrow night’s crunch game once again through injury. And defender Chris Tarrant and Alan Didak will also miss for Collingwood and will play for its VFL team this weekend. Pies assistant coach Matthew Lappin said Pendlebury’s absence will stretch to six weeks

THE longer Collingwood forward Travis Cloke puts off contact negotiations, the more interesting the script becomes. Just imagine this scenario: Carlton sack coach Brett Ratten at the end of the season and in comes Mick Malthouse. Wouldn’t that just throw a spanner in the works of Cloke’s plans? Malthouse would no doubt attempt to entice

IF it was not enough that Carlton’s season has been on the slide since their emphatic victory over Collingwood in Round 3, the news from Visy Park just makes for an even uglier outlook than that which we wrote about just yesterday

A SUBSTANTIAL loss on Friday night could result in the end of Carlton coach Brett Ratten’s career as unfortunate as it may sound. The doomsayers are predicting president Stephen Kernahan and the Blues board may have no choice but to cease with Ratten by the end of the weekend if they were to see a

CARLTON midfielders Ed Curnow, Kane Lucas and Andrew Collins have pushed hard for a senior return ahead of next Friday night’s crunch match against Collingwood. Lucas racked up 19 disposals in the first half for the Northern Blues yesterday, while Collins and Curnow had 15 touches apiece to the main break. Curnow finished the match

CARLTON coach Brett Ratten believes the team can still make the finals despite last night’s horrendous 50-point loss to Hawthorn at the MCG. The Blues are increasingly under the microscope, even though they have some injury concerns now made even worse because of a shoulder injury to defender Michael Jamison last night. “Until you get

THE more Carlton loses, the more Mick Malthouse comes into the picture. Brett Ratten is signed but effectively the more pressure that heaps upon him and the club, the more it appears something has to give at the end of the season. And in most cases, it is always the coach. The 50-point loss to

ROBERT Hyde last night quit as coach of the Northern Blues amid a series of woes at the club headlined by the fact it has won just the one match for the season. He has cited time constraints between his job as a school principal and part-time coach of the Northern Blues as the reason meaning

THE news just keeps getting worse for Carlton. Once again it’s injuries. Once again it’s Jeremy Laidler. The club has today announced that the key, and arguably best, defender for the club will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his left knee. It was the same knee that Laidler injured back in

IT has been a forgettable couple of months for the Carlton Football Club since they crushed Collingwood in Round 3, 122-62. With extended time to recover the question now is whether Judd can return to form at a time when the club’s season may hang in the balance

UPDATE: CARLTON is bracing the worst and believes defender Jeremy Laider has re-injured the same knee that kept him out for two months of the season today in the VFL. It was thought to be only a slight dislocation but club medicos have suggested it appears to be worse than first thought. It is confirmed that it is

IT’S not all bad news out of Carlton as they have successfully re-signed key young players Bryce Gibbs and Matthew Kreuzer to new deals

MALIGNED Carlton midfielder Brock McLean has spoken of his battle with form and injuries over the past two seasons with the Blues. McLean has battled to win a spot and has copped a heap of criticism from supporters after being recruited on a lofty wage from the Dees. Despite starring in the VFL over the

CARLTON is seriously looking at snaring Port Adelaide star midfielder Travis Boak if he decides to return home to Victoria at the end of the season. Boak is out of contact and there is speculation that he may wish to return to his home state. “If he was prepared to come home, we’d be very

CARLTON’S father-son selection Dylan Buckley made his mark in the VFL on Saturday for the Northern Blues with four goals and may well get a taste of AFL action this season according to development coach Robert Hyde. Hyde, who is a rookie coach for the Blues VFL team this season, believes Buckley is one that

IN comments released through the Carlton Football Club website today, Blues skipper Chris Judd has been the voice of calm as he called on his team and its supporters to remain positive after their drubbing by new powerhouse Adelaide

After the completion of the 2012 AFL season the league will be revolutionised by the introduction of free agency. For eligible players this will give them the ability to leave their current club, bypassing the draft and trade periods, and essentially pick their next employer themselves. For the AFL, this will be an unprecedented change. In the lead

CARLTON midfielder David Ellard could return to the line-up for Friday night’s clash against Fremantle on Patersons Stadium after collecting 65 disposals in the past fortnight at VFL level. Ellard appears certain to replace Brock McLean, while Andrew Walker is also set to return from injury to face the Dockers on the speedy Perth deck.

BLUES midfielder Andrew Carrazzo will miss two months after a tackle by Essendon’s Sam Lonergan left him with a fractured right shoulder blade. Carrazzo, 28, was hit by Lonergan minutes into the game and while the contact resulted in a free kick for Carlton, Carrazo was forced to leave the field immediately and was replaced by Brock

MALIGNED Carlton midfielder Brock McLean needs to play a super game against Essendon tomorrow in order to retain his spot according to Blues development coach Robert Hyde. Hyde is an unabashed admirer of McLean after coaching him at the Calder Cannons. Last week, McLean racked up 38 touches for the Northern Blues against Collingwood to

THE CARLTON Football Club has tonight confirmed that defender Jeremy Laidler will miss up to six weeks after hinjuring his left knee during Sunday night’s NAB Cup match against the Western Bulldogs. As reported earlier, the television coverage showed it to be a gruesome looking injury, with Laidler’s patella protruding at an awkward angle.  Trainers were able

THE GOOD news is that it is only the preseason. The bad news is that, for a club with premiership aspirations, Carlton’s performances against Port Adelaide and Adelaide yesterday in the NAB Cup were not a good sign

CARLTON midfielder Jordan Russell is one of several stars that could attract interest from rival clubs after falling out of favour at the selection table in the latter part of the season. The 24-year-old, despite being contracted, has been linked to a move to Greater Western Sydney after playing just one AFL match – against

CARLTON’S top four hopes remain uncertain despite an impressive 30-point win over Fremantle at Patersons Stadium on Saturday. The Blues will take on the third placed Hawks on Friday night but not even a win there will guarantee them a top four spot with West Coast ready to pounce. The Eagles are just half a

FORMER Collingwood midfielder Scott Burns has been tipped to replace Crows coach Neil Craig at the end of the season. In a new online video show titled Uncle Jimmy’s Pool Room, Burns’ former team-mate Brodie Holland believes Burns has already been offered the Crows coaching position.

MELBOURNE forward Matthew Bate is one that will be chased after from opposition clubs after dominating at VFL level but struggling to get games in the AFL. Demons development coach Brad Gotch admitted Bate is down in the pecking order at the Dees this season. Bate could easily be trade bait at the end of

DESPITE showing impressive form in the VFL, Carlton ruckman Matthew Kreuzer may be guided through another week in the VFL with no rush for him to return according to coach Brett Ratten. Shaun Hampson is in good form and Robbie Warnock is fit to play after a fortnight out from the game which means the

CARLTON ruckman Matthew Kreuzer won’t return this week against Port Adelaide and will be given another week in the VFL despite showing glimpses for the Northern Bullants yesterday. Kreuzer returned from a knee reconstruction and 12 months of the game last week for the Bullants where he played a half. It is expected he will

BLUES ruckman Matthew Kreuzer will return from a knee injury in the VFL for the Northern Bullants against the Werribee Tigers in the VFL on Saturday. The Blues have taken a cautious approach with Kreuzer, who was expected to return in the VFL this weekend. Kreuzer remains a chance to return for the round 11

CARLTON will welcome back midfielder Brock McLean for this Friday night’s clash against Geelong after a long time in the VFL. The former Demon hasn’t played a senior match since round 10 last season and has struggled to find a path back in the team due to a spate of injuries along with the addition

PUNTERS have backed Carlton in an important clash against St Kilda on Monday at Etihad Stadium. The Saints see the match as a must-win considering they have one win and one draw from six rounds. The Blues are at $1.45, while the Saints are at $2.75 to win the match. Melbourne will go in as

CARLTON’S mature age rookie Wayde Twomey would be the next rookie elevation is the Blues needed him according to development coach Darren Harris. “I’ve been rapt with Wayde Twomey. I reckon he’s been fantastic with what he’s offered us. He’s improved every week. He has a big impact whether he’s scoring goals or whether he’s

CARLTON development coach Darren Harris believes Blues midfielder Brock McLean is on the right track to return to the Blues team soon given his recent VFL form. “He’s come from a long way back so obviously he needs ground time to lift his conditioning and get him back into where he needs to be. I

CARLTON utility Ryan Houlihan has been ruled out of the season opening clash against Richmond on Thursday night with a calf injury. Houlihan, one of the veterans on the clubs’ list, strained his calf in a VFL practice match for the Northern Bullants last Friday night while playing against the Coburg Tigers at Visy Park.

CARLTON coach Brett Ratten says the club faces a tough decision on who it will elevate from its rookie list with an AFL deadline looming on Tuesday.   Former VFL players Wayde Twomey (Werribee Tigers) and Ed Curnow (Box Hill Hawks) both impressed in yesterday’s practice match –racking up a swag of disposals in the

CARLTON has indicated that it will seek approval for some of its players to play in a VFL practice match for match fitness in the Northern Bullants clash with Coburg on Friday night at Visy Park.   Andrew Carrazzo and Bret Thornton, both in need of match-fitness, are likely to play. Western Bulldogs midfielder Adam Cooney and defender

CARLTON’S mature-aged draftee Nick Duigan is one to look out for in the NAB Cup. It appears that the 26-year-old is likely to hold up a defensive spot in his debut season at the Blues after impressing in an intra-club match at Visy Park last week. He was plucked out of the SANFL last week

RICHMOND has snared former Carlton midfielder Shaun Grigg to bolster its midfield stocks. Grigg was frustrated by his lack of opportunities at the Blues in which he spent a large amount of time at the Blues VFL feeder team the Northern Bullants over the course of the year. Grigg is a little compensation for the

CARLTON’S Chris Judd was a runaway winner for his second Brownlow Medal on Monday night, polling 29 votes to finish three clear of Geelong’s Gary Ablett and four clear of hot favourite Dane Swan. Judd wasn’t expected to poll so well given Carlton’s inconsistent season and Judd, himself, hasn’t been in star-studded form which resulted

We preview the elimination final between Sydney and Carlton from ANZ Stadium

CARLTON defender Bret Thornton is understood to be attracting interest from other clubs in the wake of not being selected by the Blues since round 15. Thornton, who has played just 12 matches for the Blues this season, will play his eighth consecutive match at the Northern Bullants in the VFL. “His form with us has

NORTHERN BULLANTS coach David Teague is hopeful that fielding one of his strongest teams will upset the third-placed Casey Scorpions today. Last year’s grand finallists have struggled to reach the great heights of 2009, but the Bullants will have plenty of ammunition and no excuses today with the likes of Andrew Walker, Brad Fisher, Brock McLean,

CARLTON appears to be a great side when its little blokes are up and firing. Chris Yarran, Jeff Garlett and Eddie Betts are three dynamic forwards and when they’re on, the Blues look a far more dangerous team. Last night’s 55-point win over the Brisbane Lions proved this theory right and they are the true
