THE CARLTON Reserves have confirmed their team to take on Williamstown in their return to VFL home-and-away action.

As confirmed on Friday evening, Caleb Marchbank will play his first game of the 2023 season when the Blues take on the Seagulls.

He will be joined by Tom De Koning, who is now available after missing the last fortnight due to concussion.

After being managed against the AFL Academy, Paddy Dow, Zac Fisher and Lachie Plowman return to provide the VFL Blues with some crucial experience against the 5-2 Seagulls.

Having featured against the AFL Academy last weekend, Lochie O’Brien won’t play due to knee soreness, while Jack Martin will also miss. 

Logan Prout will make his debut from a VFL perspective, as will Nate Caddy, an exciting power forward from the Northern Knights who featured against the Blues as part of the Academy last weekend.

The game will be broadcast live on Channel 7 and the 7plus app.

In: Nate Caddy, Tom De Koning, Josh Honey*, Brodie Kemp, Caleb Marchbank, Hudson O’Keeffe*, Logan Prout, Heath Ramshaw*, Lachie Swaney

Out: Jordan Boyd (AFL selection), Jack Carroll (hamstring), Matthew Cottrell (AFL selection), Matthew Owies (AFL selection), Jack Lefroy (injured), Liam McMahon (injured), Tyreece Leiu, Harley Reid, Archie Stevens
