Carlton has made three changes to its line-up heading into this Sunday’s game against the Saints at Etihad Stadium.
Small forward Liam Sumner has been recalled after recovering from a foot injury he sustained against Geelong, while ruckman Andrew Phillips has also been named after a solid game back for the Northern Blues.
Another surprise inclusion to the Club’s 25-man squad will be sure to delight Blues fans. For the first time this season, father-son recruit Jack Silvagni has been named in the team’s extended squad.
Silvagni, the son and grandson of club legends Stephen and Serge, kicked four goals in Northern’s victory over Frankston in a wet and blustery affair at Ikon Park last weekend.
Meanwhile, St Kilda has lost Nick Riewoldt (knee), Sean Dempster (knee), Paddy McCartin (concussion) and Hugh Goddard (achilles) to injury, with debutant Lewis Pierce, Luke Delaney, Blake Acres, Darren Minchington, Nathan Wright and Jack Sinclair the inclusions to the Saints' extended squad.
