Reigning John Nicholls Medalist Heath Scotland is one of five inclusions in Carlton’s 24-man squad for Friday night’s third round NAB Cup match against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.

In his first NAB Cup hit-out for 2013, Dylan Buckley has been named, along with Josh Bootsma, Ed Curnow, Shaun Hampson and Brock McLean.

Making way are key forwards Sam Rowe and Levi Casboult, together with Bryce Gibbs, all of whom are being rested.

Also out is David Ellard, who faces up to five weeks on the sidelines after incurring a hamstring tear in last Saturday night’s match with Fremantle at Etihad Stadium.

Carlton will hold their final training session at VISY Park tomorrow at 11am before departing to Adelaide on Thursday evening.
