The Gold Coast SUNS have made two changes to the team to take on Carlton at Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Hard-working forward Jacob Townsend has been named to make his club debut in the forward line.

When Townsend takes the field on Saturday, he will become just the second player in AFL history to represent four clubs at senior level behind Tom Hickey.

Experienced midfielder Brandon Ellis also returns to the side after recovering from a hamstring injury which has held him out since Round 18 against the Bulldogs.

Coming out of the side are Jack Bowes and Sam Flanders who have both been omitted. 

The match against Carlton gets underway at 1:45pm on Saturday.

It will be broadcast live on the Seven Network (check your local guide), Fox Footy and Kayo.
