CARLTON has made just one change for Sunday's home game against Melbourne at the MCG, welcoming back captain Marc Murphy at the expense of a suspended Ed Curnow.
It'll mark Murphy's first game since Round 3, after the 30-year-old was a late out against North Melbourne in Round 4 when injuring his plantar fascia in the warm-up.
Meanwhile, rising defender Tom Williamson will make his first appearance of 2018 via the VFL tomorrow, having overcome a back injury.
He joins fellow youngster David Cuningham in the Northern Blues' line-up, with a hamstring injury sidelining the midfielder over the past fortnight.
Matthew Kennedy (ankle) and Tom De Koning (soreness) won't line up in the VFL clash against Box Hill.
The Blues and Demons will go head-to-head in what also marks the Club's annual Carlton Respects game - an initiative promoting gender equality for the prevention of family violence.
A message from #CarltonRespects player ambassadors @sarah_hosking10 and Matthew Kreuzer.
