The three-time premiership coach said the Blues would fly Kristian Jaksch to Wellington as cover for Jamison, while Matthew Dick, Dylan Buckley and Dillon Viojo-Rainbow were among the candidates to replace Yarran.
Carlton's first selection in last year's national draft Blaine Boekhorst is yet to make his AFL debut and Malthouse suggested he had work to do before he did so.
"He's a 25-possession player from the weekend (in the VFL but) he still needs weight and he needs consistency," he said.

Not sure Boekhorst will get a softer ride into AFL footy than playing the Saints..dont know what the other three have done ahead of BB to get picked either?
If you want to replace like for like with Yarrans omission it has to be Boekhorst. They are both outside run and carry players.
Not sure how/why you'd pick rainbow before boeky.
Dick will give you run and carry....if he was a rugby player he'd be great..unfortunately you need to kick the ball in AFL footy and lets just say he isn't a Chris Yarran when it comes to that.
Buckley would be my 2nd choice behind Boeky to replace Yazz.
