The Blues are confident Charlie Curnow would be available for the first final in a fortnight’s time, should the club qualify, but are not prepared to risk him against St Kilda.
Charlie Curnow is out, and Mitch McGovern remains in significant doubt for Carlton’s potentially season-deciding game against St Kilda.
“We just need to give it that little extra time so it can settle down a little bit more but that will be three, four weeks after his last incident.” Rebounding defender Adam Saad has been declared a certain starter, just two weeks after a hamstring issue against Hawthorn. “He came pretty close last week, which he gives us a fair bit of confidence that he’s going to be right this week.”Voss was extremely confident small forward Corey Durdin would line up despite dislocating his shoulder against the Eagles, but would need to break through the pain barrier.
