THE CARLTON Reserves will kick off the Good Friday action when they head to Arden Street to take on North Melbourne.

In what has now become a VFL tradition, the Roos and Blues will meet at Arden Street prior to the Marvel Stadium game between the two AFL sides later this afternoon.

Carlton has made four changes to its VFL side for the Round 3 clash, after a five-point defeat to Williamstown in their first game of the season.

Hudson O’Keeffe and Campbell Chesser have both been selected for the VFL game, giving the Blues an extra key target forward of the ball as well as more run between the arcs.

They are joined by Darcy Hogg, the Blues’ runner up in their VFL Best and Fairest last year, as well as leader Logan Prout.

It’s a landmark day for Prout, who will play his first VFL game since Round 1 last year following an ACL injury.

Coming out of the side are Wade Derksen, Nic Newman (both AFL selection), Matt Duffy (concussion) and Cooper Vickery.

Matthew Cottrell and Billy Wilson will both ramp up their game time after strong returns last weekend, while the likes Acres, Nick Haynes and Liam Reidy will provide a youthful Blues line-up with key experience.

The game kicks off from 11:30am and will be live streamed on the AFL website as well as Kayo Sports.
