THE CARLTON Reserves have confirmed their team to take on Collingwood in Friday night VFL action.

The Blues have confirmed that 18 AFL-listed players will feature, in a game where a strong senior contingent will aim to put their hands up for selection.

Cooper Lord will return to action after being sidelined since the AFL bye due to illness, while George Hewett, Jordan Boyd and Matt Duffy have also been named as inclusions.

VFL-listed players Taj Logan, Flynn Riley and Jack Sammartino round out the ins for the Blues.

After initially being named in the VFL team on Thursday, Wade Derksen and Liam Reidy have been held out and are late omissions for the VFL clash.

The game will begin at IKON Park from 7:05pm and will be live streamed via the AFL app and website.
