A WIN, a break and a couple of re-signings — suddenly things are starting to look up for Carlton.
The Herald Sun can reveal young guns Troy Menzel and Dylan Buckley have resolved to recommit to the Blues.
Menzel, 19, is understood to be on the verge of signing a three-year contract extension while Buckley, 21, has formally inked a new two-year deal.
Both have started the season impressively under Mick Malthouse and both played key roles in Carlton's 32-point win over St Kilda at Etihad Stadium on Monday night.
Menzel, the younger brother of Geelong's Daniel, was said to be a risky selection when chosen with by the Blues with pick No.11 of the 2012 national draft given his history of knee injuries, but has more than justified the club's faith in his 14 games thus far.
DOCHERTY LOVING BLUE LIFE
The forward kicked three goals in the second quarter on Monday night to blow the game wide open.
Buckley, son of three-time club premiership player Jim, was the Round 2 Rising Star nominee and his run and dare from the half-back line has been a shining light for the Blues this season.
He put pen to paper last week on a deal that will tie him to the club until the end of the 2016 season.
"He is very excited to get his contract locked away," Buckley's manager Nick Gieschen of ESP, said.
"He's been given a lot of opportunities under Mick, they have a great relationship and it's given him a lot of confidence.
"He's really happy to be playing at Carlton. He's barracked for the club for his whole life, obviously his dad played there. We are really happy to get it done."

Another youngster starting to make his mark at Visy Park is Sam Docherty, who kicked his first goals for the club and also celebrated his first win as a Carlton player on Monday night.
After receiving the customary Powerade soaking from his teammates the 20-year-old, born in Phillip Island, said the move back to Victoria had been a positive one so far despite having to overcome a nagging quad complaint.
ROBINSON BANNED, MURPHY CLEARED
"I'm loving it down here," Docherty said.
"The club's great. Living down here I'm a bit closer to family, I see my mum nearly every week now which is great. I couldn't be happier to be honest.
"It's a great feeling to get that first win. There's a good bunch of boys here — I think they've been looking forward to soaking me (in Powerade) for a few weeks.
"It was a bit of a stitch-up, the boys had about 50 bottles unhinged just ready to go."
