CARLTON will take an unchanged 22 into the Round 22 clash with Melbourne.

For the first time since Rounds 6 and 7 of the 2020 campaign, the Blues have made no changes to the team in what also comes as a first under Michael Voss. 

Sam Docherty will play his 150th game in the Navy Blue guernsey - the jumper he grew up wearing as a supporter - as Carlton looks to continue its strong run of form from recent months. 

The match will also see Patrick Cripps enter outright fifth for most games as Carlton captain, having drawn level with Chris Judd last weekend.

Last weekend’s sub, Ed Curnow is the sole omission from the Round 22 team: he has been named as one of four emergencies alongside Jordan Boyd (now available after suspension), Sam Durdin and Josh Honey. One of those four will be named as sub an hour before the bounce.
