CARLTON has named its 26-man squad for its Sunday night fixture against the Western Bulldogs.
The Blues have named four inclusions for the clash at Metricon Stadium, with the team of 22 to be announced tomorrow night at 5pm.
After being a late exclusion last weekend due to illness, Zac Fisher is one of the four inclusions on the extended bench.
He’s been joined by Matthew Kennedy, Callum Moore and Cameron Polson, who could all play their first games of the season pending selection.
In Moore’s case, it could prove to be a Navy Blue debut: the former Tiger has impressed at Ikon Park in recent reserves games since arriving at the Club in March.
Sunday’s game will also see Lachie Plowman play his 100th AFL game, with the weekend to be his 80th in Navy Blue.
The former Giant has been a mainstay of the Carlton defence since his club debut in Round 4, 2016, missing just 10 games through injury since then.
After being put through a fitness test, Jack Silvagni will be unavailable for selection this weekend after the bruised lung sustained in the Round 4 win over Essendon.
