Vice-captain Mark Baguley will miss Sunday’s game against Carlton.

Despite training this morning, Baguley has pulled up sore from Monday’s loss against Collingwood.

Emergency Martin Gleeson will be recalled for the game. 

Gleeson will be a handy inclusion if the Bombers look to break the lines and run the ball, with the defender sure to provide plenty of speed off the backline as well as having the ability to move up to the wing. 

The youngster hasn’t missed a game since the beginning of the 2015 season.
