Young forward Harry McKay will make his debut for the Carlton Football Club against Brisbane this weekend, having been named in the final 22-man side on Friday evening.
Recruited from the Gippsland Power, McKay was taken at Pick No.10 at the 2015 AFL National Draft and has been plying his trade in the forward line with the Northern Blues in the VFL throughout the season.
Youngsters Tom Williamson and David Cuningham have also both been named on the interchange bench, while Harrison Macreadie and Dale Thomas also come into the side.

Blaine Boekhorst and Liam Sumner have been omitted from the side which lost to the Western Bulldogs, with injured trio Alex Silvagni (knee), Dylan Buckley (hamstring) and Ciaran Byrne (groin) also exiting the line-up.
The Blues will be looking to secure their second interstate victory this season when they face the Lions at 4:40pm on Sunday at the Gabba.
