The Blues have made one change ahead of Sunday’s match against the Dockers in Perth.

Liam Jones has been rewarded for his impressive VFL form with a recall to the Carlton line-up. Young midfielder Nick Graham has been omitted. 

Graham has been named as an emergency alongside veterans Simon White and Michael Jamison.

Sunday’s match will mark Jones’ first AFL start since last season’s Round 17 clash against Hawthorn. The 198cm forward has been in red-hot form for the Northern Blues, booting eight goals in the first two matches of the 2016 VFL season. 

The Blues will travel to Perth on Saturday morning, with an open training session scheduled for 12:45pm at Domain Stadium.
