Carlton Assistant Coach Brad Green says he expects the Giants will be hungry for a win when they take on the Blues today at Etihad Stadium.

"Greater Western Sydney, with any young side they are going to come out ferociously. We just to need to make sure that we shut down their confidence."

Chris Judd was a late withdrawal from today's match, due to hamstring tightness. He has been replaced by Troy Menzel.

Carlton welcomes back Chris Yarran who hasn't played since suffering a hamstring injury in Round 7 and Green says he will be a welcome addition to the forward line.

"It's great to have Chris back. He's such an electrifying player to watch."

Meanwhile Levi Casboult runs out for his ninth AFL game today, after impressing with the Northern Blues.
