There was plenty of pressure put on the shoulders of Jacob Weitering when he was selected with pick No.1 in 2015 - but he’s well and truly taken that in his stride.
A true leader of this Carlton team and the lynchpin of the Blues’ defensive setup, Weitering has now played over 200 games in Navy Blue, while the All-Australian blazer he received in 2024 was just reward after years of establishing himself as one of the competition’s best defenders.
