Wearing the guernsey designed by his cousin Stewart James, Zac Williams returns to the fold after missing last weekend with glute soreness.
Joining him is fellow Giant-turned-Blue Caleb Marchbank, whose impressive VFL performance last weekend has earned him a spot in the senior lineup for the first time since Round 3.
Also included are Orazio Fantasia and Jack Carroll, both of whom recorded 23 disposals each for the Carlton Reserves last Friday night against Casey.
Three of the Blues’ changes are forced due to injuries: Adam Cerra (hamstring), Matthew Cottrell (foot), and Jack Martin (calf) are all out of the side.
In positive news, Marc Pittonet has passed his fitness test after finger surgery and is set to play, adding strength to the midfield battle against the ladder-leading Swans.
Lachie Cowan has been omitted from the lineup.
The Blues have named Jordan Boyd, Carroll, Corey Durdin, Fantasia, and George Hewett on the bench, with the sub to be announced an hour before the bounce.
