Carlton defender Michael Jamison says teammate Chris Yarran has regained respect at the club after being banished to the VFL for exhibiting poor body language.

Yarran was dropped after displaying his displeasure with being named the Blues' substitute in the round 11 loss to Essendon, and played one game for Carlton's VFL affiliate Northern Blues before being rested last weekend during the AFL team's bye.

Jamison says Yarran has served his penance and would be a welcome addition to the Blues' line-up that will take on the Sydney Swans at the SCG on Friday night.

Asked if Yarran had redeemed himself in the eyes of his teammates, Jamison said: "No doubt. I think he redeemed himself straight away how he handled himself that week after the game … He obviously played in the VFL two weeks ago, so he's up for selection."

The big question though was whether Yarran was back in the good graces of coach Mick Malthouse.

"I'd say so," Jamison said. "Mick's very big on not punishing guys over and over, so (Yarran) missed that game and he'll be back hopefully this week."

Jamison said experienced midfielder Andrew Carrazzo is also in the selection mix this week.

"He'll certainly play. He's available for selection. He'll train today and see how he goes," he said.

Mitch Robinson didn’t take the field during a brief session open to media on Tuesday morning, but the Blues said he took to the track later and is expected to play on Friday night.

In further good news for the Blues, skipper Marc Murphy trained with his teammates on Tuesday morning and could miss just one match with a fractured cheekbone sustained in Carlton's most recent game against Hawthorn in round 12.

"He's back running, which is a great positive," Jamison said.

"We thought straight away he might miss a few (games), but to have him back out here running really well is a great sign. Hopefully he can be back pretty soon."

Jamison, who will play his 100th game on Friday night, said he and Lachie Henderson would likely share the job on Swans key forward Kurt Tippett, who played his first game for his new club in the shock loss to Port Adelaide last Saturday. 

The Blues backman observed that Tippett had been "pretty impressive", particularly in the first term, against the Power.

"In the past I've played on Kurt a fair bit, but gone are the days where you seem to lock down on one opponent,” he said. 

"Me and Lachie tend to swap around throughout the match when the other guy needs a break.

"I'm sure we'll both see some time there."

Jamison said while the Swans would be stung by their loss to the Power, the Blues would draw on the confidence they gained from defeating the Swans at the SCG in their most recent encounter there in 2011.

The 27-year-old is enjoying a terrific season and said his ongoing shoulder problem was becoming less of an issue.

"I'm in a position now where I don't think about it, which is really good," he said. 

"It's feeling great, and it is at the stage where I tape it up every week, do my rehab and don’t have to think about it. It's when you think about it every week that you probably get worried, but luckily I'm not there."
