A RESURGENT veteran and a teenage draftee were the headline acts in Carlton's intra-club match this morning.
Brock McLean and Nick Graham dominated the Blues' second internal hitout at Visy Park in the absence of a host of stars.
McLean's transformation from VFL specialist to influential AFL ball-winner has gained more pace over summer, with the former Demon finishing with 22 disposals and three goals in a clear best on ground performance.

Graham, 18, was outstanding. Last year's Morrish Medallist had 17 touches and, along with fellow draftee Tom Temay, looked right at home.

Blues director of coaching Rob Wiley admitted both boys had exceeded expectations.
"Nick has got that great ability to find the football. He did that in the under 18s and he reads the play, has good composure and he's certainly heading in the direction of being a very good AFL footballer," Wiley said.
"Carlton is very fortunate to have him."
Tom Bell was eye-catching, Kane Lucas was again among the best and Matthew Watson is on the way to cementing a defensive post.
Bryce Gibbs played in the midfield for the vast majority of the three quarters he played and was solid, while Jeremy Laidler is back to his best across half-back.

Malthouse rested a stack of his best players, with Marc Murphy, Andrew Carrazzo, Kade Simpson, Andrew Walker, Matthew Kreuzer, Eddie Betts and Heath Scotland among the spectators.
But the Blues are ecstatic about the health of their list, with only Jarrad Waite (calf) and Chris Judd (hamstring) carrying legitimate injuries.

Robbie Warnock (corkie) and Rhys O'Keefe (neck) were casualties today, but they are not considered serious.
