CARLTON has made a late change for the Easter Sunday clash with Fremantle.

Matthew Cottrell will play his first game of season 2021, coming into the side in place of Will Setterfield (illness).

It will be Cottrell’s sixth senior appearance, with his last game seeing him kick the match-winning goal against Sydney in Round 16 last year.

The late change marks four inclusions for the Blues, with Cottrell joining Eddie Betts, debutant - and housemate - Luke Parks and Jack Silvagni in the line-up.

For the third consecutive week, Oscar McDonald has been selected as the medical substitute.

Today’s game at Marvel Stadium begins at 3:20pm AEST.
