Carlton has made two late changes to Sunday afternoon’s line-up for the clash against Greater Western Sydney at Etihad Stadium.
 
Originally listed in the squad of 25 was ruckman Rob Warnock and forward Andrew Collins, both however have been forced out with hamstring soreness.
Replacing them will be Mathew Kreuzer, who will start in the ruck and Mathew Watson who has been named as an emergency.
 
General Manager of Football Operations, Andrew McKay said Kreuzer’s inclusion was a boost to the line-up.
 
“Kreuzer tweaked his knee at training yesterday, so we took the ultra-conservative approach in not naming him to play, however he has pulled up very well this morning and has been given the all clear by the Club’s medical team,” McKay said.
 
“It is unfortunate that Rob pulled up sore after training yesterday, it was to be his first game back for the year after having both shoulders operated on in the pre-season.
 
“He had a scan on it this morning as a precaution but it is only a low grade strain and we expect him to push for selection in the coming weeks.”

Changes to the team from last week are - IN: Ellard and Bower OUT: Judd (General soreness) and Waite (Hip).

Small forward Eddie Betts will celebrate his 150th match alongside teammates Kade Simpson who will be play his 150th consecutive match (163 matches overall) and Shaun Hampson will line-up for his 50th senior game.
