Carlton coach Michael Voss admits his side is facing a tough task against West Coast at a venue where the Blues are averaging less than 10 goals a game.
The Eagles (1-5, 72.6%) have a brilliant recent record against the Blues, winning seven of their past eight clashes. They’ll welcome back veteran Shannon Hurn for Saturday night’s contest, while Xavier O’Neill has also been named after the Eagles lost captain Luke Shuey to injury once again.
The Blues (3-2-1, 92.4%) have been bolstered by the inclusion of inspirational backman Sam Docherty who is back just three weeks after suffering a knee injury.
