The Cats will take a near full strength team into their final NAB Challenge clash against Carlton at Etihad Stadium this Sunday.

Midfielder Steve Johnson and ruckman Hamish McIntosh have been added to the side, which defeated Adelaide last week.

Also named in the squad is Josh Cowan who successfully made his comeback to football via the VFL last week.

Out of the side from last Thursday are Sam Blease and Billie Smedts (back soreness).

The Cats will trim the squad of 27 back to 24 on Sunday. The final NAB Challenge clash stipulates teams are allowed 18 on the field, four on the bench and two substitutes.

2015 Members gain free entry to NAB Challenge games and those who recently purchased a membership and are without a physical card can obtain a temporary pass from the membership tent on the walkway between Etihad Stadium and Southern Cross station prior to the match.
