Casboult has a broken finger ...
Initially we thought it was a dislocation, but the big marking forward has broken it in the warm up. Hasn't impacted Carlton too badly thus far, though.

Not ideal at all.

Welcome to the MCG!
Hello one and all, we are here at the MCG for the clash of two of footy's oldest rivals - Collingwood and Carlton.
To say the Blues need to bounce back is an understatement. They were pitiful last week against Fremantle, and this week has been dominated by discussion of their much maligned rebuild.
Today they come up against a Collingwood side that is playing some of their best footy since the club's 2010 premiership triumph. They're in the top four race (which is wide open) and won't want to take their foot off the pedal today.
But could the Blues will to recover from a week of turmoil cause an upset? We will have to wait and see.
