THE team is in for Carlton’s fourth annual Pride Game against the Western Bulldogs on Friday night.
With just one change heading into the Round 2, the Blues will look a consistent side in their efforts to secure the first Navy Blue win of the season.
Mua Laloifi will miss the clash at Whitten Oval after sustaining a concussion in last week’s season opener against Collingwood.
Jess Edwards comes into the side in place of the second-year Blue, filling the backline deficiency ahead of what is certain to be close match as both sides fight to get on the board in season 2021.

Last week’s Navy Blue debutants retain their positions for another week, with Elise O'Dea, Maddy Guerin, Mimi Hill and Charlotte Hammans named for another week.
The Blues will be without Lucy McEvoy (fractured cheekbone), Brooke Walker (foot) and Gab Pound (hand) for another week as they continue to progress in their recovery from respective injuries.
This week’s side will run out in the 2021 Pride Guernsey designed by Darcy Vescio with input from the wider playing group.
Representing growth rippling through community through inclusivity and gender diversity, guernseys are available at The Carlton Shop while stocks last.
Kicking off the first ever Pride Round at 7.45pm on Friday night, you don’t want to miss a moment of the action.
