FOUR changes.
The Blues will have a quartet of fresh faces making the trip to the Adelaide Oval to take on the Eagles in Gather Round.
Looking for their third straight win at the venue, Carlton had already said that Matthew Carroll would make his debut for his boyhood club this weekend, while Harry McKay confirmed he would make his return to AFL football in a open, honest chat about his last few weeks.
McKay will be joined in the forward line by Corey Durdin, with the native South Australian to play his first game of the campaign. Durdin was one of the Carlton Reserves’ best in his return from an ankle injury, laying an impressive 13 tackles in the VFL last weekend to add to his customary zip.
Rounding out the inclusions is Matthew Cottrell, with the running machine getting through training fully this week after missing Round 4 due to an ankle injury.
Lachie Cowan was a confirmed out due to a hamstring injury, while Cooper Lord, Ashton Moir and Lewis Young have been omitted.
Lord and Young are joined by Elijah Hollands as the emergencies, while the Blues have listed Carroll, Durdin, Ollie Hollands, Brodie Kemp and Will White on the interchange.
The sub will be named an hour before the bounce.
Saturday’s game will be Adam Saad’s 200th game, with the former Coburg VFL star starting out at Gold Coast and Essendon before finding a home in Navy Blue over the last five seasons.
