Carlton has made three changes ahead of its Round 16 match against Sydney at Docklands on Saturday afternoon.

The Blues have recalled Heath Scotland and Chris Yarran, while Paul Bower returns after he injured his knee in Round 13.

Scotland and Yarran have both been promoted from the Northern Bullants. Scotland last played seniors in Round 13, while Yarran returns for his first match since Round 9.

Bower’s inclusion means that Adam Hartlett misses out on selection as does recently re-signed Dennis Armfield and Jeff Garlett.
