THE BLUES have made two changes to their team ahead of their annual AFLW Carlton Respects Game at IKON Park. 

In what will be Carlton's first home game for the season, Maddy Hendrie and Ciara Fitzgerald return to the side, while Jess Dal Pos has been managed and Lila Keck has been omitted. 

Hendrie and Fitzgerald both return to the line-up after missing last week's clash with the Suns, with fellow defender Harriet Cordner selected to play her 50th AFLW game. 

Week 3 will signify not only the Blues' first home game, but the eighth annual AFLW Carlton Respects Game, where the Blues will wear orange socks to raise awareness about gender equality and the prevention of violence against women.
