THE team is in for Carlton's Round 1 season opener against Collingwood tomorrow evening. 

Some familiar faces will be surrounded by some new Game Changers in Navy Blue tomorrow night, with four players making their Carlton debuts.

Recruits at Ikon Park over the summer, Maddy Guerin, Charlotte Hammans, Mimi Hill and Elise O'Dea will run out in the Navy Blue for the first time.

Guerin, O'Dea (both Melbourne) and Hammans (Gold Coast) arrived at Carlton during the trade period, while Hill was the Blues' first selection at the 2020 NAB AFLW Draft.

They won't be alone in providing a fresh feel to Carlton's lineup, with Abbie McKay to make her first appearance since 2019 while Brooke Vernon will play her second senior game.

Alison Downie, Nicola Stevens and Darcy Vescio will continue their streak of playing every AFLW game so far, but Gab Pound will miss her first game in five years due to a hand injury.

The Blues will also be without Lucy McEvoy (fractured cheekbone) and Brooke Walker (foot). 

Many familiar faces will be running out onto Ikon Park, along with four girls making their Carlton debut.

With the game kicking off at 7.15pm, it will be the first time since March last year that fans can come and see a Carlton side play live in Melbourne.
