Seems that Carlton have identified that they need a strong bodied inside midfielder. So they have picked up McLean at the high cost of a number 11 draft pick.
I think this move now is a resignation that they were wrong in bypassing Daniel Rich last year. Rich is already a much better midfielder than what Mclean has been & will be.
It seems baffling to think that they use no 11 on a midfielder when they badly need key defender's. Jamison is just a player. Nothing special, but still better than Bowers.
Waite was a big loss this year, however J Brown kicked 8 of his 10 goals on him a couple of years ago, so he is hardly the saviour they are looking for. Sure he has improved since then.
Can't see Mclean adding a great deal more than what Hadley would have given them.
So the sum of the last 2 year's draft high picks are: Yarran & McLean....Still no key defender's ?
At this stage, it's a bit too early to pass judgement on Yarran. However he looks like a very good reserves footballer. Time will tell I guess.
