As Carlton prepares to welcome some fresh faces this time next week, it seemed like the opportune time for a trip down memory lane.
The AFL draft is an exciting time for any budding young footballer, with 100 or so each year able to recognise their footballing dream.
This begs the question: what did the current Blue boys look like when they were drafted?
With thanks to AFL Photos, wonder no more.
