Carlton commenced Season 2002 with Tim Fleming retained on the Rookie List, and selected the following Blues in the 2001/02 Rookie Draft:
Pick 11 : Bret Thornton, Oakleigh Chargers / Mt Waverley
Pick 27 : Ezra Bray, Geelong / Calder Cannons
Pick 42 : Jordan Doering, Re-Rookied
Pick 53: Michael Davis, Essendon / Sandringham
Pick 60: Adam Mathews, Carlton / Murray Bushrangers
Whilst both Thornton and Mathews would be elevated to the list for 2003, it was only Thornton who would debut in 2002 (and in fact ever play a senior game). Fleming, despite 2 years as a Rookie, would never play a game for Carlton.
NB Please note that for the purposes of the Blueseum, we have called the Rookie Draft at the end of the 2001 year, the 2002 Rookie Draft, given that Draft provided rookies for the 2001 playing year.
