FOR THE second consecutive week, Carlton has made no changes for this weekend’s clash with North Melbourne.

The same 22 will run out for three straight games, with Senior Coach David Teague putting the faith in the 22 that has featured against the Western Bulldogs and Port Adelaide.

Before last week, it had been three seasons since the Blues had taken an unchanged team into a round.

Alongside Patrick Cripps, Sam Docherty will lead out the team in his 100th game — ironically, it will be at the Gabba: the venue where he made his start with the Brisbane Lions.

The Club can confirm Liam Stocker has returned to Victoria for personal reasons. He will be unavailable for selection and the Club asks for his privacy to be respected at this time.

Matthew Kreuzer has returned to Victoria to better assist his rehabilitation from foot surgery, in particular the ability to utilise the AlterG facilities at Ikon Park.

Both players may return to Queensland later in the season at an appropriate time for their respective circumstances.

While it’ll be the same 22 which ran out last weekend, there will be new names featuring on the back of the Navy Blue jumper with Saturday marking the second Back our ‘Baggers game.

Thanks to co-major partner Hyundai, you can find the list of names which will appear on the respective player’s jumper below.
