THE CARLTON Reserves have made two changes for its Punt Road curtain raiser against Richmond.

Taking place down the road from the MCG which will host the two AFL sides later today, the Blues have named their 23 in search of a second win for the season against the Tigers.

After playing the last two games as sub in the senior side, Corey Durdin will get a full game for the VFL Blues.

He is joined by youngster Kristian Ferronato and the versatile Luke Nelson as inclusions for the clash which will be broadcast on Channel 7.

With the senior game to directly follow, AFL emergencies Jesse Motlop and Marc Pittonet both come out of the VFL side which fell to Southport last weekend.

Billy Wilson also misses the game due to knee soreness.

David Cuningham will feature after making his return in the second half of last week's VFL game, while Cooper Lord will look to build on the impressive signs shown in his debut eight days ago.
