Carlton are in the midst of a wide-ranging review of their training and fitness after being hit hard by injuries this AFL season. The Blues have lost three of their last four games and will welcome back Lachie Fogarty, Adam Saad and Lachie Cowan for Saturday’s must-win clash with Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium. They have named Jacob Weitering, who was subbed out of last week’s loss to Sydney with a corked leg, and coach Michael Voss is adamant the star defender will play.

“But we feel like we have the group out there who will get the job done and that’s all I’m really worried about today.” Fogarty, who returns from a wrist injury, is a most-welcome addition as a role-playing forward. When he plays, Carlton have won 14 of their last 16 games and Voss said he might highlight that impressive statistic to the team. “It’s an extraordinary record, isn’t it ... it’s just the importance of the role he’s played,” Voss said.
