Carlton has selected Cam Polson with pick No.59 in the 2016 NAB AFL National Draft.

A small pressure forward who can also run through the midfield, Polson hails from Haileybury College in Keysborough, Victoria.

The 18-year-old also played four games with the Sandringham Dragons, before a shoulder injury unfortunately cut his season short.

In those matches for the Dragons he mostly played on the wing, highlighting his versatility across the ground.

Carlton’s General Manager of List Management and Strategy Stephen Silvagni says Polson is a very valuable selection so deep in the draft.

“Cam possesses great speed and has real power,” Silvagni said.

“He’s also a great tackler and has neat skills, so we’re excited to see just how far he can develop.”

Welcome, Cam!
