CARLTON has named two inclusions for Sunday's clash at the SCG.
Looking for their third consecutive win over the Swans in nearly 30 years, the Blues have called on the services of the returning Jack Martin for the Round 11 contest.
Named for his first game since Round 2, Martin makes his return to the line-up having overcome a PCL injury.
He will join fellow Indigenous Blues Eddie Betts, Liam Jones and Zac Williams in the first instalment of Sir Doug Nicholls Round in 2021, which is spread over a fortnight this year.
Martin returns to the fold alongside Levi Casboult, who was managed in the win over Hawthorn. Named at centre half forward, it remains to be seen where Casboult will be deployed, with the big man just as capable of featuring down back or up forward.
Coming out of the side are the suspended Lachie Plowman as well as Marc Murphy, who has been omitted.
Sunday's contest will mark Sam Walsh's 50th in Navy Blue, while Eddie Betts will match Andrew McLeod's tally of 340 games as the third-most ever of any Indigenous player in VFL/AFL history.
