JEREMY Laidler could prove an unlikely solution to Carlton's forward problems.
The Blues, still without Jarrad Waite, have struggled to find the right mix of key position targets in attack.
Laidler was a vital cog in defence under former coach Brett Ratten before hurting his knee last year.
But the left-footer has struggled to impress Ratten's predecessor Mick Malthouse, who left him out of the NAB Cup grand final and two of the first three home-and-away games this season.
However, Laidler showed promising signs as a forward target in the VFL on Saturday, booting three goals.
Northern Blues coach Luke Webster said Malthouse had instructed Laidler to play forward.
"Mick spoke to him about looking at different positions and adding another string to his bow," Webster said.
"Jeremy grew up as a junior playing forward, so this week we were able to give him the opportunity to play a key position for us and he performed really well."
Laidler's demise has puzzled many Carlton supporters. In 2011 he ranked No.1 at the club for spoils, No.2 for intercept marks and third for intercept possessions.
Last year he succumbed to injury in Round 4.
Carlton's first draft pick (No.11 overall) Troy Menzel also showed flashes of brilliance in the VFL last weekend with four goals.
