The Blues will make at least three changes to the side when they face the Western Bulldogs on Sunday at the MCG.

Young defender Harrison Macreadie has been omitted, while injuries to Patrick Cripps (leg) and Simon White (knee) will mean the Blues are set to make several changes to its line-up for Sunday’s CARLTON RESPECTS clash. 

Defenders Alex Silvagni and Ciaran Byrne are in line to be recalled to the team after overcoming respective injuries, while Liam Sumner and Nick Graham have also been named on the interchange bench.

Dylan Buckley could make his return to the senior side for the first time in 2017, with Blaine Boekhorst also being named in the extended squad.

The final 22-man team will be revealed at 5pm on Friday night, with the ball set to bounce down at 3:20pm at the MCG on Sunday afternoon.
