Carlton have named an unchanged team to face Essendon on Saturday.With no injuries coming out of last week’s match against Geelong, the Blues had a near full-strength squad to choose from. The only players facing a long spell on the injured list are Anthony Koutoufides, who is expected to miss another 5-6 weeks with a finger injury, and pacy youngster Shaun Grigg, who damaged his shoulder playing for the Northern Bullants in the VFL.It was a tough blow for Grigg, who’d been on the cusp of selection after being named an emergency for the Blues last week. He is expected to miss 8-10 weeks.
