Carlton has confirmed that No.1 draft pick Jacob Weitering will make his debut against Richmond on Thursday night.
โYeah, I can confirm that,โ coach Brendon Bolton said of Weiteringโs inclusion in the side.
โDay one it was about him earning a spot and he wasnโt entitled to anything. But this one he is entitled to. He gets his first chance.โ

Bolton also confirmed that captain Marc Murphy will also be named after overcoming a shoulder injury which restricted his pre-season preparation.
โYeah, Murphy will play. We have been really conservative with him. Itโs great to have your skipper out there for Round 1. The players are ready and we have selected a team that we think will put up a real right against Richmond,โ he said.
Blues squad of 24 training. Charlie Curnow and Clem Smith both in there. Maybe emergencies. Both played Northern Blues. Curnow the wildcard
