TOP-ten draft pick Lochie O’Brien will make his AFL debut on Saturday night against North Melbourne in Hobart.

Hailed for his exceptional endurance, the Blues selected the young midfielder with pick No.10 in the 2017 NAB AFL National Draft. The 18-year-old joins former fellow Geelong Grammar classmate Paddy Dow as the Club’s recent AFL debutants this season. 

The Bendigo Pioneers product will run out in the No.4 guernsey when the Blues face the Kangaroos at Blundstone Arena.

O’Brien joins Jack Silvagni and Cam O’Shea as the side’s inclusions, coming in for an injured Caleb Marchbank who failed to run out last week’s game against Collingwood with a rolled ankle. Jed Lamb and Cameron Polson have been omitted from the side.

Tassie supporters have the chance to see their favourite Carlton stars in action at the Club’s open training session at Blundstone Arena on Friday afternoon from the newly scheduled time of 4:00pm. 

In their first interstate game for the 2018 home and away season, the Blues head to the Apple Isle on Friday before the 7:25pm kick-off at Blundstone Arena on Saturday night.
