CARLTON have made two changes for tomorrow night’s clash with Fremantle.
It was announced earlier that Josh Honey would make his AFL debut: Carlton’s second in as many weeks.
He will be joined in the side by fellow inclusion Harry McKay, who missed last week’s game against West Coast with a knee injury.
Jack Martin comes out of the side with a calf injury, as does ruckman Marc Pittonet.
A finger injury sustained in the game against the Eagles has ruled Pittonet out, with the ruckman likely to be sidelined for 1-2 weeks.
The team news means the Blues will have three players with four games or less: Honey (the youngest player on Carlton’s list), Matthew Cottrell and Tom De Koning.
At the other end of the scale, veteran Marc Murphy will surpass Anthony Koutoufides when he plays his 279th game.
It will see Murphy move up to outright seventh in Carlton’s all time games played list.
Saturday’s game will begin at 8:10pm from Optus Stadium.
