Collingwood Magpies against Carlton Blues Puni, results, fixtures, teams, suggestions, games, how to watch
Small Forward Will White will make its debut in AFL, only 38 days after being signed in the Carlton list to replace choice no. 3 Draft Jagga Smith, who suffered an ACL injury in the pre-stage.
After letting Matt Owies go to the West Coast in the low season, the blues fought for goals out of their little attackers.
Carlton had only four kickers – Brodie Kemp, Charlie Curnow, Lewis Young and Jesse Motlop – in the Friday evening loss against the Western Bulldogs.
Carlton made three changes, with only the Matt Cottrell utility wounded and not available.
The little striker Francis Evans and the defender Jordan Boyd make room for Ashton Moir and Cooper Lord.
Elijah Hollands, who took personal leave on the eve of the season, will return through the Carlton VFL team this weekend.
“Elijah was able to take me some time from the club, but I imagine in the last little while he had more presence within our program,” said Blues coach Michael Voss.
“I imagine that how you return to the team is to put a solid performance.”
Collingwood chose the Premiership player Billy Frampton to replace the young reef defender wounded Mcinnes.
Posted for a Breakout season, the 22 -year -old Mcinnes broke his ACL in the victory of the last start of the Magpies against the Western Bulldogs and will not play this year anymore.
The Mason Cox Premiership veteran was dried in favor of the attacker Brody Mihocek, who lost the clash with the Bulldogs due to pain.
After winning 10 of the last 12 games against Carlton, Collingwood will begin as warm favorites to move on to 3-1 and send their bitter rivals to 0-4.
The Magpies won both games last season with a combined nine -point count.
