Carlton have made a late change ahead of their clash with Sydney at the SCG on Saturday afternoon.

Blues defender Lachie Plowman will miss the match due to a hip injury, and has been replaced in the side by Nick Graham.

Plowman will miss his first game of 2017 on Saturday, after playing all 21 games for the Blues after missing just three games for the club last season in his first year after making the move from GWS.

Graham will come in for his 10th game of the season, and hasn't featured for the Blues sinc round 18.

Sydney will go into the match as selected.
