DALE Thomas will play his first game for Carlton in Monday’s NAB Challenge match against Adelaide at Etihad Stadium.

Thomas missed the club’s first NAB Challenge match due to illness. 

Gun midfielder Kade Simpson, ruckman Matthew Kreuzer, backman Michael Jamison and forward Jeff Garlett will also bolster the Blues’ line-up.

Ex-Blue Eddie Betts, who kicked five goals for new side Adelaide in its win over Port Adelaide on Sunday, has not been named. 

The Crows have made several changes from that match, with Ben Rutten, Scott Thompson, Andy Otten, Jarryd Lyons, Riley Knight and Charlie Cameron all new inclusions.
