AFL Aussie Rules News :: Browne set for Blues debut

Posted on 2008-04-25 by Gooner

CARLTON has named Steven Browne for his AFL debut as the Blues look to win their third match in succession against Adelaide at the MCG on Saturday.

Bryce Gibbs comes back into the side after missing one week with a back problem, while tall forward Adam Hartlett has broken into the side for his first match of the season.

Browne, a 180cm utility from West Perth, was taken at selection 36 in the 2007 NAB AFL Draft and will be the 1113th player to represent the club.

He played a variety of run-with roles in the pre season and again looks likely to be used as a tagger against the Crows.

Jordan Bannister drops out of the team that defeated Melbourne last week with a hamstring injury, while Adam Bentick and Setanta O’Hailpin have been omitted, but appear on the emergency list with Dennis Armfield.

The Crows made just one change and bolstered their line-up with onballer Chris Knights who has recovered from a quad strain suffered in the NAB Cup Grand Final loss to St Kilda.

He replaces Jarrhan Jacky who debuted last week in Adelaide’s win over Fremantle.

Kris Massie has also recovered from a hamstring strain but has been named on the emergency list along with Ivan Maric and Patrick Dangerfield.
