CARLTON has omitted Chris Yarran for Saturday's clash against Adelaide after a series of off-field disciplinary breaches this week.
The Blues announced on Thursday night that they would not consider Yarran for selection this round because of "a number of occasions in which [he] failed to be punctual".

Interim coach John Barker told the club's website that Yarran hadn't adhered to the club's off-field standards.
"Chris is an outstanding person and player for our football club, but he hasn't got some things right around punctuality this week," Barker said.
"He will learn from this and we fully expect him to be back playing some good football for us soon."
It was reported earlier this week that Yarran's late arrival for a team meeting with Barker last week had seen the entire Blues' list punished with a 6am swim in Port Phillip Bay on Tuesday.
The club suspension is the latest bump in a difficult season for the West Australian.
He was suspended for three matches after being found guilty of intentionally striking Essendon's Paul Chapman in round three.
And after a career-best fourth-place finish in last year's best and fairest award, Yarran has struggled for consistency on the field.
The speedy half-back averaged the equal-most running bounces (3.2 a game) in the competition last season and kicked 21 goals, while in 2015 he has averaged just 1.5 running bounces (equal 18th in the AFL) and kicked two goals.
