Carlton defender Sam Docherty has once again been named in AFL Media’s ‘Team of the Week’.

The 22-year-old is having a breakout season this year, consistently being named in Carton’s best players and receiving recognition from the football public.

Docherty’s performance against GWS on Saturday was one positive to come of the disappointing loss.

He recorded 30 disposals, including eight contested possessions, seven rebounds and three tackles.

‘Doc’ is also part of Carlton’s seven-man leadership group and is an emerging leader at the Club.
