Another member of Carlton’s 2015 draft class will make his debut this season, with young midfielder David Cuningham to play his first game in the navy blue jumper against the Lions.

Since overcoming a hip injury earlier in the year, the 19-year-old, who was taken at pick 23, has played consisted footy for the Northern Blues in the VFL.

Cuningham is one of two changes this week, with forward Liam Jones returning to the senior side to replace the retired Andrew Walker.
