Carlton Announces Squad for AAMI Community Series Clash

Carlton unveils its extended roster for the upcoming AAMI Community Series showdown against Melbourne scheduled for Wednesday night at IKON Park. The Blues will field a 25-player squad for the AFL practice match commencing at 6:40 pm.

Key Highlights:

Debut and Returns: Marc Pittonet will mark his first appearance of the season, joining forces with Tom De Koning in the ruck, while Alex Cincotta secures a bench spot following his standout performance in the VFL last weekend. Young talents Jaxon Binns and Billy Wilson may make their debut, named on the seven-man bench, with Binns receiving dual recognition in both the AFL and VFL squads. At the VFL level, Zac Williams makes a much-anticipated return after an 18-month absence due to an ACL injury, alongside Matthew Kennedy and Sam Durdin, all making their season debuts.

Fixture Change: Due to extreme heat in Melbourne, the VFL game has been rescheduled earlier and will be closed to the public.
