Catch both Blues outfits this Saturday at Etihad Stadium with the Northern Blues set to take on North Ballarat ahead of Carlton's clash with Greater Western Sydney.

It's been 12 years in the making; the last time Carlton's VFL affiliate played a curtain raiser to an AFL game was on 24 May, 2003 against Frankston at Optus Oval.

Plus the good news for Blues fans is that big man Matthew Kreuzer will run out at Etihad Stadium this weekend – the only question is which Blues team will he play for?

Carlton members can present their 2015 barcoded membership card for free entry to the Northern Blues match, while anyone purchasing a general admission ticket will receive entry to both games."

Gates 3 and 7 open at 12.45pm with the VFL clash set to commence at 1.15pm, followed by Carlton and the Giants at 4.35pm.

Bring the family and make a day of it at Etihad Stadium this Saturday – we hope to see you there.
