CARLTON has named its 26-man squad for its AAMI Community Series opener tomorrow night.
Preparing to play in front of Victorian-based fans for the first time in nearly a year, the Blues have named a settled squad to take on St Kilda tomorrow night.
After two goals in last week's practice match over Essendon, Harry McKay has been named to play after recovering from a slight knock to the ankle.
It will be the first opportunity for Carlton fans to see recruits Lachie Fogarty, Adam Saad and Zac Williams in their new colours, with all three named to play tomorrow night.
There'll also be a glimpse of Carlton's new-look, versatile forward line, with veteran Marc Murphy named alongside Zac Fisher, Fogarty and Jack Martin: expect a number of rotating Carlton midfielders to get some time inside forward 50.
Train-on players Oscar McDonald and Callum Moore have also been named.
Speaking on SEN earlier this morning, Senior Coach David Teague floated that the Blues would use close to 22 players to replicate in-season game conditions as much as possible.
Tomorrow night's clash begins at 7:10pm AEDT.
