Jason Saddington returns to the side for Saturday afternoon's Round 19 rematch against Port Adelaide at the Dome.
It's the first time Saddington has been named to play since Round 21, 2007, replacing Mark Austin who has be named as a emergency for the clash.
Saddington’s form has been outstanding with the Northern Bullants and his experience in Carlton extremely young backline will be beneficial.
Carlton will be looking to continue its impressive recent form against the Power after their thrilling come from behind victory in Round 11 by 12 points.
It's a big game for the Blues who are still looking for a top 8 finish in the 2008 season.
“It’s a must-win for us. We’re running out of chances to keep our season alive, and this is a big game for us at home against Port,” Ratten said from Princes Park on Wednesday.
Eddie Betts will be given right up until Friday to prove his fitness which leaves the door slightly ajar for emergencies, Mark Austin, Adam Bentick and Shaun Hampson.
