However, I see this for what it is: a low risk/high reward strategy that gets us athletic talent onto the list without having to dump someone in the process.

CARLTON has signed a former Australian junior basketballer as an international rookie B selection.
Matt Owies, 21, was a standout junior footballer with St Kevin’s until deciding to pursue a basketball career that took him to the US.
He was also a competition best and fairest winner in the Yarra Junior Football League at under-14 level.
Good luck to the lad. He will need it. We have a very poor record with our Cat B rookies. Our Irishmen seem to be always injured and none of the others has got close to senior selection.
Live Long and Prosper!
