Carlton will be boosted by the return of Chris Judd and Jarrad Waite as they seek to turn their winless AFL season around on Sunday against the Western Bulldogs.
Dual Brownlow medallist Judd has recovered from pre-season achilles surgery and, provided he makes it through training on Saturday, will join Waite and Tom Bell as inclusions to the side that was beaten by Melbourne last weekend.
Nick Graham was dropped, while Michael Jamison (leg) and Troy Menzel (hamstring) were the enforced omissions as Blues coach Mick Malthouse finalised his team on Friday.
Marcus Bontempelli will make his AFL debut for the Bulldogs, while Michael Talia and Luke Dahlhaus are back at the expense of Dale Morris (suspended), Lachie Hunter (omitted) and Jason Tutt (omitted).
Tom Boyd, the No.1 pick from last year's draft, will also debut on Sunday when Greater Western Sydney tackle the Crows at Adelaide Oval.
