Docherty will return to action just 183 days after being hurt in round one against at the Gabba, the venue of the knockout final on Saturday night.
Carlton said in a statement Docherty was told of his inclusion in the Blues' side on Tuesday morning, capping a stunning comeback from a third knee reconstruction in his 168-game career.
