Carlton welcomed father-son recruit Harry Dean with pick No.3 in the 2025 Telstra AFL Draft.
The son of dual premiership player Peter, Dean cemented himself as the standout key defender in last year’s draft class, after emerging through the Carlton Academy where he embedded himself at IKON Park before eventually calling Royal Parade home.
Dean has taken to AFL life quickly, working closely with All-Australian defender Jacob Weitering after a top-age draft year which saw him earn plaudits for his ability to both lock down his direct opponent while also intercepting at will.
