CARLTON has made four changes to the team which will take on Sydney at the SCG in Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
Playing in the guernsey designed by his cousin Stewart James, Zac Williams will return to the fold after missing last weekend with glute soreness.
He is joined by fellow Giant-turned-Blue Caleb Marchbank, whose impressive VFL showing last weekend opened the door for a return to the senior line-up for the first time since Round 3.
Joining them are Orazio Fantasia and Jack Carroll, who had 23 disposals each for the Carlton Reserves last Friday night against Casey.
Three of the Blues’ changes are forced, with Adam Cerra (hamstring), Matthew Cottrell (foot) and Jack Martin (calf) all coming from the side.
Lachie Cowan has been omitted.
In positive news for the Blues, Marc Pittonet passed his fitness test after finger surgery and will front up for his team in what will be a must-watch midfield battle with the ladder-leading Swans.
The Blues have named Jordan Boyd, Carroll, Corey Durdin, Fantasia and George Hewett on the bench, with the sub to be announced an hour before the bounce.
