CARLTON’S entire 2014 national draft is on the verge of wipe-out after the Blues delisted another six players.

Andrejs Everitt, the Blues leading goalkicker from 2015, was on Tuesday delisted amid 28 changes in two years.

The 27-year-old kicked 31 goals last year but after only 13 games this year will hunt for a fourth club after previous stints at the Western Bulldogs and Sydney.

ROUND ONE: WHO IS YOUR CLUB PLAYING?

Everitt’s departure means the club has lost its leading goalkicker from 2015, 2014 (Jarrad Waite), 2013 (Jeff Garlett), 2012 (Eddie Betts) and 2011 (Andrew Walker).

But while Carlton’s 2015 national draft crop shapes as its saviour, list manager Steve Silvagni is still trawling through the wreckage of the previous year.

He arrived months after the Blues swapped pick 7 for Kristian Jaksch, Whiley and pick 19, and pick 46 for Liam Jones before drafting in Blaine Boekhorst, Viojo-Rainbow, Clem Smith and Jayden Foster.

They also lured delisted free agent Matthew Dick.

As of Tuesday, all of Viojo-Rainbow, Foster, Smith, Dick and Whiley have been delisted.

And Carlton is still saddled with the contracts of key position players Jaksch and Jones for another year as it desperately hopes running midfielder Boekhorst will develop.

Boekhorst played seven AFL games last year in a year blighted by hamstring and wrist injuries and at least has shown some signs of talent.

Jaksch played 16 VFL games last year and a single AFL game after crossing from GWS and has been a disappointment so far.

Jones, generously handed a three-year deal after crossing from the Western Bulldogs, kicked nine goals in eight games last year.

Carlton will take seven picks to the 2016 national draft as it restocks it list in the hope of another quality haul.

It has picks 5, 25, 48, 63, 66, 70, 81, 99 and 117 after trading in Geelong’s Billie Smedts and GWS players Caleb Marchbank, Jarrod Pickett and Rhys Palmer.

Last year it was able to secure future stars Jacob Weitering, Charlie Curnow, Harry McKay, David Cuningham, and Jack Silvagni.

REPORT CARD: HOW DID YOUR CLUB DO AT THE TRADE?

The Blues also cut rookies Andrew Gallucci and Billy Gowers on Tuesday but will allow all them to train in the hope of rookie-listing them.

Michael Jamison, Walker and Cam Wood have retired, with the club keen to work with Bryce Gibbs on his family issues.

He had told Carlton he wanted to be traded back to Adelaide given his partner was keen to return home but Adelaide baulked at the Blues’ price.
