Carlton's No.3 pick, Jagga Smith, will miss the entire 2025 season due to an ACL injury suffered during a practice match.
"It certainly was not the news we were expecting and we really feel for Jagga, he has not put a foot wrong from the second he walked into the football club back in November," Carlton football boss Brad Lloyd said.
"While it is really unfortunate we won't see Jagga out of the field this season, he will continue to soak up as much knowledge as he can from his teammates and coaches during his first year in the AFL system, before setting himself to attack his second season head on."
