OVERVIEW
It was a successful year for Dennis Armfield, who was one of just five Carlton players to run out for every game in 2013. It saw the 26-year-old reach the 100-game milestone and have his name etched on the No.27 locker.
Armfield continued to improve his game as a tenacious defensive forward with the ability to hit the scoreboard. He also signed a contract extension earlier this year, which will see him remain at the Club until at least the end of the 2015 season.
