Jack Martin will return to Carlton's line-up for Saturday's do or die preliminary final against Brisbane at the Gabba.
The 28-year-old missed the Blues' thrilling semi-final win against Melbourne last Friday night due to serving a one-week suspension after an incident from the elimination final against Sydney.
Martin was cited by the AFL Match Review Panel for a striking charge on the Swans' Nick Blakey, which was classed as careless conduct, high impact and high impact.
The Yawuru man was originally given a two-week ban, but had his charge downgraded to one week at the AFL Tribunal where his impact grading was reclassified from high to medium.
Martin was one of the Blues' better players in the six-point win over Sydney a fortnight ago.
He finished with 12 disposals and two goals in Carlton's 11.8 (74) to 9.14 (68) win at the MCG.
The West Australian has enjoyed arguably his best season in navy blue colours and is currently in strong form having registered a goal in each of his last seven appearances.
Martin joined the club via the Gold Coast at the conclusion of the 2019 season after a much-publicised lucrative contract offer from the Blues.
He has played 50 games for the Blues across the past four seasons after 97 appearances for the Suns.
The former Claremont player has been named on the interchange for tomorrow evening's clash against the Lions.
Carlton go into the contest as heavy underdogs but will be buoyed by the fact they have won 11 of their past 12 matches.
Harry McKay and defender Jordan Boyd also return for the Blues, while Brodie Kemp, David Cunningham, Matthew Kennedy and Matthew Owies have all been omitted from the 22.
Brisbane have replaced injured defender Jack Payne with Darcy Gardiner.
The Lions have turned the Gabba into a fortress in recent seasons and are yet to lose at the ground in 2023.
A win would see the Lions record a history-making 13th home victory for the season.
The last time these two teams met was back in Round 8, when Brisbane notched a 26-point win at Marvel Stadium.
Tomorrow's preliminary final will be a twilight start with the first bounce expected at 5:15PM AEST.
