CARLTON ruckman Matthew Kreuzer is one of six possible inclusions for Sunday’s trip to Optus Stadium.
Kreuzer has been named on an eight-man extended bench, after missing the last month with an elevated heart-rate.
The No.8 is joined by fellow inclusions Patrick Kerr, Sam Kerridge, Harrison Macreadie, Aaron Mullett and Jack Silvagni on the bench, as well as Nick Graham and Matthew Lobbe.
Macreadie could play his first AFL game for the season after a 2018 derailed by hamstring injuries, while Silvagni will potentially return after being a late out last weekend.
The news isn’t as good for midfielder Matthew Kennedy, who is out due to an ankle injury. Cameron O’Shea has been omitted.
Patrick Cripps, Sam Petrevski-Seton and Jarrod Pickett will return to their home state as the Blues ready themselves for their first trip to Western Australia in 2018.
The final team will be announced at 5pm tomorrow on carltonfc.com.au.
