Carlton coach Brett Ratten said small forward Eddie Betts is out of form and under pressure to keep his spot in the Blues' senior line-up.
Ratten says he is leaning towards selecting Betts for Saturday's match against Adelaide at Docklands, but he will come up for review at selection on Thursday.
"Eddie would be the first to put his hand up and say he's not in great form," Ratten said.
"The bit that we need to do as a coaching group and especially me as a coach is to get the best out of Eddie.
"When he is up and going he is in the top handful of players at our football club. We need to get him back to that form and will have to work through that over the next few days to get him nice and sharp."
Betts was the club's leading goalkicker last season.
But Ratten says he has not got enough of an impact from his attack generally in last Saturday's draw against Essendon.
He says one of the main issues is the team's inability to hold onto the ball in their attacking area.
