It will be Dennis Armfield’s swansong on Saturday at the SCG after the retiring veteran was named in the Blues’ line-up to face Sydney.

The 30-year-old comes in for Jack Silvagni, who has undergone surgery on his shoulder this week. 

In the Club’s final home and away game for 2017, Blues fans will have the chance to farewell the beloved Armfield, who hangs up the boots after 10 seasons at the Club. 

And for the first time since 2011, the Blues will be looking to do the double over the Swans after their 19-point win in Round 6. 

Carlton members and supporters are also invited to the Round 23 pre-match function in Sydney, held at the Woollahra Hotel starting from 1:30pm.
