Melbourne will be looking to put a tumultuous week behind them while the Blues are fresh from an 18-point victory over bogey side North Melbourne.
TeleChoice, official ball sponsor of the Carlton Football Club, is turning part of the MCG yellow today and giving away 15,000 t-shirts to selected fans.
Selected bays on the lower level of the MCG will be covered with yellow TeleChoice t-shirts. Before first bounce, eight lucky t-shirt wearing fans will be picked out of the crowd to win a fantastic TeleChoice prize pack, so make sure you have yours on!
There will be a range of pre-match activities at gate 3 including face painting, free temporary tattoos, handball games and much more.
TeleChoice is on the ball for Carlton!
