CARLTON has made a late change to its team to take on Fremantle.
Ahead of the Len Hall Tribute Match, the Blues have confirmed that Ollie Hollands (managed) won’t feature in the Round 7 clash at Optus Stadium.
Hollands, who made the trip to Perth alongside his teammates, has been replaced in the side by Matthew Cottrell.
It will be Cottrell’s first AFL game since the corresponding weekend last year, marking 363 days since his last outing in Navy Blues after foot surgery late in 2025 followed by knee surgery in the 2026 pre-season.
He has played the last three VFL games for the Carlton Reserves, collecting 20 disposals and a goal last week in a win over Collingwood.
The Blues’ clash with the Dockers kicks off from 8:10pm AEST.
