CARLTON will spend several weeks assessing its recruiting and list management structure before deciding how to fill the role vacated by head recruiter Shane Rogers.

The Blues announced last week that Rogers, who was head of recruiting at the club since 2012, had quit the club. Having been at Carlton since 2007 – he started as a recruiting officer – Rogers' final day with the Blues was on Friday.

With list manager Stephen Silvagni having only recently started in his new post at the Blues, the club will not rush into making any fresh appointments in the recruiting division after Rogers' departure.

Carlton head of football Andrew McKay told AFL.com.au the Blues' three recruiting officers – Michael Jordan, Glenn Elliott and Dale Harris – would handle responsibilities in the short-term.

"With our [general manager of] list management Stephen Silvagni having only been in the job for a little over a month and in keeping with our club strategy of bolstering our recruiting and development department, we will use the coming weeks to evaluate the current structure and plan accordingly for the immediate and long-term future," McKay said.

"In the interim our three full-time recruiting staff will be able to spread the workload."

Rogers' exit came after he signed a new three-year contract with the club in the middle of last year and just as clubs across the country begin to assess this year's talent pool in greater depth.

As recruiting manager, Rogers drafted classy forward Troy Menzel in 2012, hardened midfielder Patrick Cripps and last year selected mature-age wingman Blaine Boekhorst at pick 19.

Silvagni was announced as the Blues' general manager of list management and strategy – a new role at the club – in December after months of speculation he was headed back to Carlton, where he played 312 games and was a dual premiership player.

He spent four seasons as Greater Western Sydney's list manager as the fledgling club built its young list, and began in his role at the Blues at the end of January.

Silvagni has already said he will be removed from any talks surrounding the potential drafting of his son Jack, who is eligible to be picked as a father-son recruit in 2015.

Jack, a 190cm forward, played in a TAC Cup practice match on Sunday for the Oakleigh Chargers. He showed some exciting signs, taking an eye-catching strong mark deep in attack and later kicked a clever long goal after evading an opponent.
