Blues superstar’s long-awaited return locked in; query over Dogs pair answered: Team Whispers

Sam Walsh will make his much-anticipated return to the Carlton side this Saturday, after being sidelined with a back injury since mid-February.

Walsh, who also missed the beginning of the 2023 season with a similar back injury, has been on a revised training program for a considerable amount of time since it flared up nearly two months ago. The Blues held their cards close to their chest for the vast majority of Walsh’s time on the sidelines, giving infrequent updates with vague timelines on the star’s impending return.

Jack Macrae has played the past two games after missing the opening three rounds due to an interrupted pre-season and Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge said Macrae would play against Essendon at Marvel Stadium on Friday night.“That’s as far as performance goes and who is playing critical roles,” he said.Meanwhile Melbourne will hand a debut to their second 2023 first-round pick, Koltyn Tholstrup, in Thursday night’s blockbuster against Brisbane.
