This Saturday will mark Keeley Sherar's 50th game in the Navy Blue, becoming one of the youngest AFLW players to reach the milestone.
Since arriving at IKON Park in 2021, Sherar has proved an integral part of the Blues' success, particularly as they venture into their first finals campaign in five years.
Taken at pick No.11 in the 2021 AFLW Draft, the dangerous midfielder quickly made herself known, earning herself a Rising Star nomination in just her second AFLW game.
A breakout season in 2023 saw Sherar awarded the Club's Coaches Award, featuring in all 11 games while being ranked fifth in the competition for tackles (8.4) during the home-and-away season.
Continuing this form into 2024, the young gun averaged 22 disposals and seven tackles per game, before winning the Club's Best and Fairest award.
With her tackling pressure and speed around the stoppage a strength, Sherar has wowed in 2025, being named in the 2025 AFLW 22under22 squad for a third consecutive year.
The dangerous midfielder particularly stood out this year in Carlton's Round 7 victory against Fremantle, banking 23 touches and seven clearances, while she averages 17.8 disposals and 5.4 tackles so far in 2025.
The 22-year-old becomes the seventh Carlton AFLW player to reach the milestone, putting herself among teammates Breann Harrington, Darcy Vescio, Gab Pound, Kerryn Peterson, Abbie McKay, and Mimi Hill as 50-gamers.
Sherar will play her 50th game in this Saturday's elimination final against West Coast, kicking off at IKON Park at 3:05pm.
