Durdin

Corey Durdin became the first new Blue at Pick 37 and has long been one of the most highly-touted juniors out of South Australia. He was the Under 16 Division 1 MVP in 2018 and went on to feature at senior SANFL level over the next two years. Repeat hamstring injuries hampered him towards the end of 2020, but his turn of speed, tackling pressure, and dominance at ground level are exactly what Carlton would have wanted in a small forward selection. He should challenge for a debut in year one and while he looms as a long-term Eddie Betts replacement, could also play more of a role in the midfield with his acumen as a junior.

Corey Durdin was recruited from Golden Grove via SANFL club Central Districts.
