SIX Blues have been recognised for their part in the rousing comeback win over Fremantle.
Carlton was well-represented in the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year award votes for Round 15, with its veterans rightly finishing with top honours.
Marc Murphy and Ed Curnow both finished with nine votes each for their roles in the four-point victory over the Dockers at Optus Stadium.
Proving to be the hero with the match-winning goal, Murphy was an ever-present with 34 disposals (14 contested) and seven clearances.
Ed Curnow also garnered attention in his first showing as stand-in skipper, with a remarkable 16 clearances setting the tone for a memorable win.
Reflecting the group efforts across the ground, defender Caleb Marchbank (three votes), midfielders Sam Walsh (two) and Sam Petrevski-Seton (two) as well as ruckman Matthew Kreuzer (one) also featured.
Marchbank - who was unbeaten in five defensive one on one contests - formed part of a resolute backline unit which performed a lockdown of Fremantle’s after quarter time.
Our equal-10th biggest comeback from quarter time. A sensational skipper. A Jack of all trades.

Well well well... how did that all happen? #BoundByBlue
Walsh and Petrevski-Seton once again gave Bluebaggers something to get excited about through the centre, recording 30 and 23 disposals respectively.
The influence of Kreuzer couldn’t be understated, who received a nod for his tireless work in the ruck: his 31 hitouts and typical bullocking work were just the starting points for Carlton’s ascendency through the centre.
