CARLTON will take the consistency of a winning line-up into Saturday’s Carlton Respects Game against St Kilda.
For the first time in their 2020 campaign, the Blues will take an unchanged line-up into the clash against one of the competition newcomers.
The only inclusion last week, Charlotte Wilson has been named at full back for another week after starring against Adelaide.
Having missed the Round 3 clash through illness, Wilson returned with a breakout performance against the reigning premiers, collecting 19 disposals and nine marks in the eight-point win.
2020 Rising Star nominee Grace Egan will also run out in the Game Changers’ third clash at Ikon Park. It’s been an impressive run of form for the youngster, who has averaged 15 disposals and six tackles over her four AFLW games.
Bluebaggers will be pleased to see Georgia Gee named in this week’s line-up, with the dynamic youngster coming from the ground late last week as a precaution after a knock to the knee.
Youngsters Brooke Vernon and Courtney Jones have been named as emergencies for the clash as the Blues make their case for a second consecutive finals berth.
Saturday’s game - which marks the first game in the second half of the season - will kick off at Ikon Park at 7:10pm.
