Carlton entered Season 2005 with 2 Rookies still on the list, Sam Pleming and Setanta Ó hAilpín. Therefore, we had 4 rookie selections available and selected the following Blues:
Pick 6: Daniel Batson, North Ballarat Rebels
Pick 22: Jesse Smith, Calder Cannons
Pick 37: Nick Becker, Calder Cannons
Pick 50: Aisake Ó hAilpín, International Rookie
The arrival of Aisake, to join his brother Setanta created much excitement down at Carlton.
During the Season, Setanta was promoted and played in his debut. Batson, Aisake and Smith were all retained on the Rookie List for 2006.
NB Please note that for the purposes of the Blueseum, we have called the Rookie Draft at the end of the 2004 year, the 2005 Rookie Draft, given that Draft provided rookies for the 2005 playing year.
