What the recruiter said
"Menzel could have gone pick two, possibly even pick one. Both of his knee injuries were collision injuries. We think we can get him up and going pretty quickly and that he can have an impact straight away. It changed a bit during the week, things can change so quickly, but we felt two days ago we would get him and we were pumped." - Carlton national recruiting manager Shane Rogers

Pick 11: Troy Menzel, Central Districts
Rogers says: We rated him the second best player in the draft. He has played senior footy, he kicks goals and he dominates games. That's what we want.

Pick 35: Tom Temay, Sandringham Dragons
Rogers says: Son of Paul Temay who played for St Kilda, Middle distance runner, state champion and we see him playing in the midfield and on the wing for us.

Pick 54: Nick Graham, Gippsland Power
Rogers says: Coached by Nick Stevens and he's been a good player for a long time. I know it's a draft day cliché, but we were a bit surprised that he was still available for us to select.
