Three Blues will notch up their 100th AFL game in tonight’s clash between Carlton and North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium. 

Chris Yarran and Mitch Robinson will get their names on their lockers – both are due to play their 100th game for Carlton after being drafted together in the 2008 National Draft. 

Henderson will play his 100th AFL game, which marks his 85th for the Blues, after beginning his career in Brisbane. 

The match will also mark David Ellard’s 50th AFL game. 

Carlton has made three changes with Troy Menzel, Mitch Robinson and Cameron Wood coming into the side. 

Wood has been elevated to Carlton's primary list after a series of impressive outings in the VFL – the match will mark his first in the navy blue jumper.
