Carlton's Chris Yarran has been omitted from the team to take on Adelaide for disciplinary reasons.

It follows a number of occasions in which Yarran failed to be punctual last week.

Coach John Barker says the 24-year-old hasn't adhered to the Club's expectations around standards.

"Chris is an outstanding person and player for our football club, but he hasn't got some things right around punctuality this week," Barker said.

"He will learn from this and we fully expect him to be back playing some good football for us soon."
