Carlton has made seven changes to its side for Saturday's clash with Greater Western Sydney at Etihad Stadium.

Andrew Carrazzo, Troy Menzel and Simon White return from injury, while Chris Yarran returns from suspension.

Matthew Watson, Matthew Dick and Jason Tutt have also been included.

Andrew Walker has been ruled out with a knee injury, while Liam Jones, Dylan Buckley, Nick Graham, Clem Smith, Blaine Boekhorst and Mark Whiley have been omitted.

Graham, David Ellard and Nick Holman have been named as the emergencies.

It means Matthew Kreuzer will spend another week playing in the VFL but Carlton fans will still get to see him in action at Etihad Stadium as the Northern Blues will take on North Ballarat in a curtain raiser.

The VFL game kicks off at 1.15pm, while the clash between Carlton and the Giants gets underway at 4.35pm.
