The Draft penalties imposed on Carlton in 2002 due to breaches of the Salary Cap would impact, but finish, on the 2003 National Draft.
The Blues would be entitled to a Priority Pick given our performances in 2003, which would nab Andrew Walker, but were not entitled to a First or Second round selection because of the penalties announced in 2002.
Our next selection - our third round pick - was traded to Collingwood for Heath Scotland, whilst our fourth round pick was traded to Hawthorn for Brett Johnson and Daniel Harford. A series of late picks were utilised by the Blues, delivering Ricky Mott, Stephen Kenna, Jordan Bannister, Adrian Deluca and Glen Bowyer to Carlton.
