AN ORIGINAL Game Changer becomes a history maker.

Darcy Vescio will continue to rewrite the Carlton history books when they become the first player to reach a century of games in the Navy Blue this Saturday.

A genuine icon of the AFLW competition, Vescio has been one of the marquee names ever since they burst onto the scene with a match-winning performance against Collingwood on opening night in 2017.

The first player signed to the Blues’ AFLW program, Vescio kicked Carlton’s first goal and was the first player to 25, 50 and 75 games before they reach the 100-game landmark this weekend.

The list of achievements for the Navy Blue No.3 is endless, winning the inaugural AFLW Mark of the Year, a two-time AFLW All Australian and Leading Goalkicker (2017, 2021) while winning Carlton’s 2021 AFLW Best and Fairest.

More than that, it’s been their character off the field which has shone through, with Vescio being an exceptional role model as one of the faces of the Carlton AFLW program since day one.

Fittingly, that trailblazing milestone will come at IKON Park - the venue where they’ve played more than any other - in a massive final for the Blues, when they host the Hawks for the right to play off against Melbourne in a preliminary final.
