FAMILIAR team, different territory.
Carlton will take an unchanged line-up into Saturday’s clash in the top end with Melbourne
The Blues will continue with its winning formula as it searches for its fourth consecutive win, making no changes for the second straight week.
As the team prepares to play at Traeger Park for the first time, they’ll be counting on their No.6 to provide the home-ground advantage in Round 6.

An Alice Springs-native, Gab Pound will continue her uninterrupted AFLW career alongside Alison Downie, Sarah Hosking and Darcy Vescio.
Round 5 Rising Star nominee Charlotte Wilson will resume her post at full back for the clash as she hopes to continue her impressive run of form.
She will be flanked by co-captain Kerryn Harrington at half back, with the skipper clearly eager to follow up a performance that earned her 10 coaches’ votes - and a chocolate frog - against St Kilda.
Carlton newcomers Brooke Vernon and Joanne Doonan have been named as emergencies for the clash as the Blues look to continue their storming run in the final weeks of the season.
Saturday’s game – which is set to be pivotal in the scheme of a Carlton finals berth – will kick off at TIO Traeger Park at 7:40pm AEDT (6:10pm local time).
