THE BLUES will take to the SCG this Saturday afternoon in their first-official practice match of the pre-season. 

After last week's match simulation against Melbourne, Carlton will be looking to tighten their game play up when they take on Sydney - the first time these two teams have met in their history. 

For all the Sydney Bluebaggers wishing to attend the game, entry at the SCG is free with gates opening at 12:40pm before the first bounce at 1:05pm.

Mic'd Up | Cordner back in action against Melbourne

Those unable to make it to the game will be able to livestream the game via the Carlton website and app and keep up with all the action via the Club's social media channels. 

The game will be important for the Blues as they strive to iron out any creases ahead of their Season 8 opener against the Suns on Saturday 2 September. 

Held at IKON Park, the game will be the perfect opportunity for fans new-and-old to get a glimpse of the new-look Blues as they look to start off their 2023 campaign with a win at home.
