Carlton sign Russell, Wiggins, Blackwell
Carlton have been getting out the money to bring back their team from last season. As they finished 16th, maybe that is not the best idea.
Luke Blackwell is a player they needed to sign and he has a new two-year deal. He should be a solid player in a very youthful midfield.
Jordan Russell is a player who does not have a regular spot in the Carlton team. He was on his way to Port Adelaide but a trade could not be made. If they are going to pay him then they must be planning to play him in 2007.
Simon Wiggins also has a new contract. He is another borderline player there, and will compete with players like Fisher for a spot around half forward.
These players join Thornton who signed recently. Carlton are supposed to have salary-space for a preseason pick but after these signings it might not be enough if there is a star available in the preseason draft.
