CARLTON has made sweeping changes to its playing list ahead of next month’s national draft, axing five players.
Former Port Adelaide and St Kilda ruckman Cain Ackland, Clinton Benjamin, Luke Blackwell and Ryan Jackson and untried Irishman Aisake O'hAilpin were all delisted while former Sydney defender Jason Saddington has retired after playing 162 matches – 20 with Carlton whom he joined at the end of the 2005 season.
Saddington’s place on the lost has been filled by impressive young defender Michael Jamison who has been promoted off the rookie list onto the senior list after playing 16 games in 2008.
Meanwhile, former player Matthew Lappin replaces ex Collingwood defender Gavin Crossica as an assistant coach.

Matthew Lappin as assistant coach? hahahahahahaha.
Instil a bit of discipline?
hahahahahaha.
Sorry, but as a Blues supporter, that would be the most ludicrous thing they've done since drafting Mick Martyn to the side.
Or getting Denis Pagan across to coach them.
Or getting a depressed Corey McKernan across?
Or installing Brett Ratten as coach?
If Carlton win a premiership under Brett Ratten it will be because of the player list, not the coaching staff.
Poor old Juddy. He left West Coast to come to a different culture. I guess he did. He left a drug culture to come to a drinking culture.
He only came to Melbourne cos of his girlfriend anyway. Her modelling career? What's the term? C* struck? His lack of loyalty doesn't endear him to me. I don't care how good a footballer he is. He's the type of guy who as captain of a ship would be the first one in the lifeboat. But they call him a hero? pfft! I'd rather a Cartlon team without him in it. Give me Fev any day. At least he has the decency to flop his old fella out in public.
*Disclaimer* I will deny writing all of the above.
