Adam Cooney has gone through the squad and named his Carlton best 22 ahead of the 2023 season.
The Blues approach the season full of hope, having not played finals for 10 years, but Cooney believes they boast one of the strongest lists on paper in the competition.
The side does not include star midfielder Sam Walsh, who is recovering from back surgery, though a spot on the wing is open for him once he returns.
The best 22 features the reigning Coleman Medallist in Charlie Curnow and reigning Brownlow Medallist in Patrick Cripps, while Blake Acres is the new addition from Fremantle.
They also get back Mitch McGovern and Zac Williams from long-term injuries that derailed their 2022 seasons.
