Carlton Coach Voss Confident in Sam Walsh's Fitness

Carlton coach Michael Voss is adamant Sam Walsh is 100 per cent fit, but he’s warned the superstar won’t be the silver bullet for their midfield problems. Carlton coach Michael Voss says Sam Walsh is at full strength and won’t be held back when he plays his first game for the season against Adelaide on Saturday.

“I don’t want to underestimate Sam Walsh’s influence on our team, but if we think he’s the difference, we’re certainly going down the wrong path, that’s for sure,” Voss said on Friday. “Sam coming in helps us a little bit with that, but at the same time we can’t be thinking that’s the fix for us, that’s part of a bigger picture.”“No, no, he’s fit, healthy – never put someone out there who’s not ready to go, he’s more than ready to go,” he said.

Voss said recruit Elijah Hollands had pulled up well from training on Thursday and was right to take his place in the side after he was subbed out of the win over the Dockers with an adductor injury.Carlton half-forward Elijah Hollands was subbed out early in his second game for the Blues but cleared to play against Adelaide on Saturday.

Voss said the Blues had tried to unpack why they were dictated to by Fremantle for most of the Gather Round clash despite emerging victors by a razor-thin margin.
