THE CARLTON Reserves have made six changes to their team to take on the Casey Demons.
After originally confirming four changes earlier this week, the Blues have made an additional two with a pair of AFL-listed players coming out of the side for this afternoon’s clash.
Blake Acres and Hudson O’Keeffe (both managed) make way, joining the suspended Ben Camporeale, AFL inclusions Will White and Francis Evans as well as Archie Stevens as the outs.
Excitingly, there’s a pair of debuts for the VFL Blues, with former GWS Giant Cooper Hamilton to play his first game for the his new club.
Arriving at the Blues over the off-season, Hamilton is joined by Sam Paea, with the Werribee premiership player added to the Blues’ list just this week.
Playing his football with Aberfeldie so far in 2025, Paea is a premiership teammate of Carlton mid-season recruit Flynn Young and kicked a goal in last year’s Grand Final win at IKON Park.
The inclusions are joined by Kristian Ferronato, Dane Harvey, the experienced Will Hayes and the returning Stirling Phipps-Parsons.
Jaxon Binns, Jordan Boyd, Lucas Camporeale, Harry Charleson, Matt Duffy, Harry Lemmey, Rob Monahan and Billy Wilson are the AFL-listed players in today’s side.
