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.

As has always been the case with Carlton’s No.23, what you see is what you get.
