OVERVIEW
Blaine Johnson was recruited to the Blues with a third round pick (No.43 overall) in last year's Rookie Draft.
The 19-year-old from Western Australia impressed early in the VFL, averaging 15 disposals per game.
After Heath Scotland was placed on Carlton's long-term injury list, Johnson was chosen to be upgraded to Carlton's Primary List in his place.
Soon thereafter the No.45 was selected to make his AFL debut in the Round 15 clash with Collingwood.
In total, Johnson played five senior games for the Blues in 2014 and kicked one goal.
Carlton supporters can look forward to seeing a lot more of Johnson, as he embarks on his pre-season campaign.
HE SAID IT
"It's a memory that will probably last me a lifetime. It's the biggest crowd that I've played in front of."
- Johnson speaking after making his debut against Collingwood in Round 15.
THEY SAID IT
"He's a half-forward flanker that's very hard at the football and has great defensive qualities. He's played some really consistent football in the VFL, so certainly he's ready to go."
- Director of development and coaching Rob Wiley speaking about Johnson in the lead-up to his AFL debut.
SEASON HIGHLIGHT
