CARLTON coach Mick Malthouse is considering recalling both Levi Casboult and Rob Warnock for Saturday's crunch game against West Coast.
The Blues lost ruckman Matthew Kreuzer to a broken thumb, which only compounded their 0-3 start to the season.
Warnock's 2012 season was ruined by a shoulder injury. He hasn't played since Round 14.
"It's either going to be Levi Casboult, or both, and Robbie Warnock,'' Malthouse said today.
"We understand we're a little bit short in terms of talls in our side…We might go a little bit taller.
"We could play both.''
Shaun Hampson is already in the side and Malthouse said he wasn't against playing Sam Rowe in the ruck, but admitted he would need support.
"You're talking about the No. 1 ruckman in the league, (Dean) Cox has been that for a number of years,'' he said.
"We know that we're going to have a big job and perhaps the best way to do that is multi-choice and multi-go. It's very hard to lock one player in on a bloke like Cox."
Jarrad Waite and Eddie Betts are not expected to play this weekend.
Malthouse refused to dwell on the club's poor start to the season.
"It's not about win-loss, it's about process," he said.
"Are we playing good football? Yes, we are in patches.
"Are we playing well enough to beat our opponents? No, because we're not doing that for a full game.
"That's what we have to look at, not (just) the result of the football game."
Malthouse said he couldn't change the results of the first three weeks of the season.
"I will not be panicked, I will not be pressured by media nor supporters suggesting we change the zip and three, and go to the league and say it's not fair.
"We will keep going and we will turn this side from a zip and three side and we will keep going on the process, and that will turn it around for us."
