Was going through the player profiles on the Carlton website (which need to be updated) and i noticed we had 5 all Australian selections on our list.

They are

2005 All Australians:

Bower, Kennedy, and Murphy.

2006 All Australians:

Gibbs, and grigg.

Does anyone know of anymore that may not be noted on the player profiles?

I was suprised to see Walker was not an All Australian :shock: ...

There was a couple of state representatives (like Jacobs for SA) too....

Awsome Synbad.

I hope they update the Carlton site soon!

That's 6 All Australians!

That's 27% of a 22 man squad, not bad.

The best part about it is we may get this number up to about 9-10 in the next couple of years...

Simpson was an All-Australian and was projected to go top 20. It surprised a lot of pundits at the time that he fell to pick 45 or whatever it was!

Pretty sure he still is. The O'hAilpins are the only ones on our list who aren't Australian :wink:

And simpson makes 7!

Murphy
Gibbs
Simpson
Walker
Kennedy
Bower
Grigg

8)

That makes 32% of our future 22 man squad All Australians.

All destined to be excellent players I'm sure.

Would love to know what numbers the other teams have, and how they have faired...

Fairly sure that Eddie Betts was All-Australian as an underage player the year before we drafted him.

Carrots too? his work ethic would lead you to believe so, however his kicking would undo that....

Can anyone confirm?

Update - Carrots was All Australian.

Top possession winner for Vic Metro in the carnival, too. I think Judd and Ball in that squad, too.

And then there were 9!

Nice goal by Carrots last night too 8)

That makes 41% of the starting 22 All Australian juniors :-D

Will be up past 50% at this rate before we get to this years draft :lol:

Go Blues!
