Carlton coach Michael Voss says the Blues will be “patient” picking through Melbourne’s competition-best defence as another gritty, low-scoring clash looms on Thursday night.
Carlton could throw a star straight into the AFL side from a long injury lay-off as coach Michael Voss reveals his plans to combat Melbourne.
Caleb Marchbank should also return at some level, but fellow defender Zac Williams is set to miss with a glute complaint after he mostly sat out the session. “What our high performance team and our training environment provides is that they’re ready to go … we’re able to expose them to very much a game-like environment that gets them ready,” he said.
“I think our strength is in our collective, and I think buys into that extremely well, so the role we ask him to play and the teammate we want him to be, I’ve been nothing but impressed with how he’s approached that,” Voss said.

“We felt like as a team in that particular moment that we didn’t get a few things right, collectively as a team.”
