CARLTON has made a trio of changes for Saturday night’s AFL Carlton Respects Game against Melbourne.

After missing the last two games due to a concussion, Adam Saad returns to the fold to provide the Blues with some bounce out of the back half.

He joins small forward duo Will White and Francis Evans in the line-up, who were named among the Carlton Reserves’ best in last weekend’s game against Brisbane.

It was confirmed earlier in the week that Orazio Fantasia and Mitch McGovern would miss due to respective hamstring injuries, while Alex Cincotta has been managed.

Saturday night’s Round 19 clash will mark the 10th AFL Carlton Respects Game, a long-standing initiative which will see the Blues wear orange socks and a dedicated guernsey to raise awareness for the prevention of violence against women.
