The 31-year-old managed to play 16 games in his last season, with a calf injury to blame for his six missing matches.

In his final season, the Blues veteran left nothing in the tank. He came second at Carlton behind Kade Simpson for effective disposals per game, third at the Club for contested possessions, as well as ranking fourth among his teammates for disposals per game.

Off the field, Carrazzo continued his reputation as a true team player. His episode of Discussions with Dylan proved to be one of the most popular with Carlton fans, with the electrician giving his hints on how to grow perfect tomatoes while also sharing the funny story of how he proposed to his wife.

HE SAID IT
“I really do rest my head knowing that I really couldn’t have given anything more to the club and to my footy. The team success is something that’s missing from the resume but I look as that as a thing of timing and circumstance. I still got to play some finals footy and I cherish the memory of those games.”

He has always shown tremendous leadership both on and off the field, especially as a mentor to our younger players.”
