Greetings Earthlings,

Welcome to the next installment of club swapsies.

Carlton to West Coast

1992, Mid-Season, Pick 13, Damian Hampson, 6 games

- nice obscure one there.

West Coast to Carlton

1995, Pre-Season, Pick 13, Matt Clape, 58 games

- great pick-up, 31 goals in 1995 and 19 possessions in the GF meant Clape was an important part of the line up. Could not repeat the dose in the years after but has a premiership medal to show for his time at the blues.

Of course our most recent pick-up has been Callum Chambers, all the signs so far indicate he will also be a valuable pick up.

What about pre-draft and pre West Coast days?

Who do you think were Carlton's best ever players from Western Australia? Who were some of our obscure WA players?

Ern Henfry and Mike Fitzpatrick - 2 premiership captains would be the standouts. The 80's provided some good players as well. Peter Bosustow, Ross Ditchburn, Warren Ralph, Wayne Blackwell, Jon Dorotich and of course the only 2 Carlton players to make the WA team of the Century...Syd Jackson and Ken Hunter.

Syd Jackson

john worsfold in a coaching sense

1992, National, Pick 118, Scott Spalding, Perth, WAFL, 1 game

- has the honour of being Carlton's highest ever draft pick.

We are starting to assemble a pretty good team of WA players.

Others can probably position these players better, but it is a start.

FB Blackwell
HB Henfry(?), Dorotich, Ditchburn
C Jackson, Chambers,
HF Hunter, E Spalding, Clape
FF Bosustow, Ralph, Hunter
R Fitzpatrick,

Wayne Blackwell definitely played on the wing.

PS And Daniel Wells should have been in this team as well
