Carlton will blood another debutant in Saturday's clash with Fremantle at Domain Stadium.

Brad Walsh will become the 10th player to don the navy blue jumper for the first time this season.

The 18-year-old's inclusion is one of three changes to Carlton's line-up.

Sam Docherty returns from a hamstring injury while Sam Rowe has also been recalled.

The trio come in for Bryce Gibbs and Dennis Armfield who are out injured, while big man Cameron Wood is being rested.

Blaine Boekhorst, Mark Whiley and Matthew Dick have been named as the emergencies.
