Carlton has opted for height, adding three talls to an extended squad for Sunday’s ANZAC Round encounter against Fremantle at Domain Stadium.
Liam Jones, who booted five goals in the Northern Blues’ victory over Geelong to sit atop the VFL goalkicking table, joins defenders Michael Jamison and Simon White as the Blues' three inclusions.
There are no outs yet, with the extended bench (Jones, Jamison, White, Dylan Buckley, Nick Graham, Matthew Kreuzer and Zach Tuohy) to be trimmed to four at 5pm on Friday.
Fremantle will again be without captain David Mundy and star ruckman Aaron Sandilands, but has regained Zac Clarke. The ruckman joins debutant Darcy Tucker and fellow youngster Brady Grey as the Dockers' inclusions.
The Blues will head to the West with confidence, having won their past seven ANZAC Round matches. Three of the past six matches against Fremantle at Domain Stadium have also fallen Carlton’s way.
