CARLTON have made four changes ahead of their Week 5 clash with North Melbourne.
The Blues had already confirmed two debutants, with Meg Robertson selected to make her debut at AFLW level while Yasmin Duursma will also pull on the Navy Blue jumper for the first time.
Robertson was picked up as a father-daughter selection in the 2023 AFL Women's Draft, with her father Ben having played for the Blues in the 1990s, while Duursma played 11 games for Port Adelaide before moving to IKON Park.
The Blues will gain some valuable experience in the form of Jess Dal Pos, who comes back into the side after suffering an ankle injury, while Lila Keck joins Robertson by making her way back into the forward line after missing the past two matches.
A few communication errors but we got there 😅

The changes mean that the Blues' five inclusions from last year's trade and draft period in Duursma, Keck, Robertson, Tarni Brown and Celine Moody will all feature in the same line-up.
Kerryn Peterson (shoulder) and Dayna Finn (ankle) have been ruled out due to injury, while defenders Lulu Beatty and Gen Lawson-Tavan have been omitted.
It'll be another key test for the Blues this AFLW season, taking on a Roos side who currently sit in the top three after three wins and a draw from their opening four games.
