CARLTON has pulled a selection shock on by naming big men Levi Casboult and Matthew Kreuzer despite originally expecting the pair to miss at least a month.
Casboult fractured his leg against Port Adelaide two weeks ago and Kreuzer had surgery on the knee he injured in the same game, but both have been selected in the Blues’ final 22-man line-up to take on Geelong on Sunday.
The pair were spotted taking a secret fitness test in a St Kilda park on Friday morning.

Carlton football boss David McKay said another MRI on Casboult’s revealed the forward had merely suffered a “depression” in his tibia, not a fractutre.
“In terms of Levi, his initial MRI scan revealed a small hairline fracture to the top of his tibia, but a more recent CT scan revealed it’s actually a depression in his tibia which is a lot less severe,” he told the club’s website.
“It has improved an enormous amount over the last few days.
“He will still require a thorough test tomorrow before we can rule him in or out.”
Kreuzer is a chance to return if he can get through training.
“Kreuzer has improved after the surgery quicker than expected and he had a follow-up meeting with the surgeon today,” McKay said.
“The surgeon says structurally his knee is sound, so it will be a matter of whether he can get through training over the coming days before we can consider him for selection.”
GOLD Coast will welcome back Gary Ablett, with the skipper one of four big-name inclusions to the squad for the depleted and under the pump Suns.
He will be joined by fellow midfielder Aaron Hall, defender Steven May and ruckman Tom Nicholls but the Suns have lost Sam Day to a hip injury.
NORTH Melbourne has regained prime mover Daniel Wells for the blockbuster against Sydney tomorrow night, while the Swans have named debutant defender Harry Marsh at the expense of Ted Richards who is out with concussion.
TRAVIS Cloke has missed out on selection at Collingwood, meaning he will not play at any level this weekend with the Pies’ VFL team fixtured a bye.
The Pies have named small defender Ben Sinclair in its extended squad after he missed last week with concussion.
HAWTHORN premiership player Matt Spangher will make his long-awaited return after a number of soft tissue injuries have derailed his start to the season.
Spangher is the only change to the Hawks side that was beaten by Sydney last Friday night, with young defender Kaiden Brand the omission.
RICHMOND has regained exciting small forward Daniel Rioli for the Dreamtime at the ‘G clash with Essendon as expected but Troy Chaplin is out with a hip injury.
FREMANTLE has lost another gun player to injury, this time skipper David Mundy out with a calf complaint. The Docker do, however, regain Steven Hill as one of five changes.
Mature-aged recruit Sam Collins will make his debut in defence, while ruckman Zac Clarke has beebnen dropped.
