The Carlton Football Club is one of the traditional powerhouse teams in Australian footy. The Blues have won 16 VFL/AFL premierships – a record matched only by Essendon.
After finishing inside the top eight in 2023 and 2024 and falling short against the Brisbane Lions in back-to-back finals series, Carlton heads into 2025 with plenty of optimism.
In what will be his fourth year as the Blues coach, can Michael Voss taste the same success that he did three times as a player with this Carlton squad in 2025, or will they fall short again?

Position: Ruck
Tom De Koning experienced a career-best season in 2024. The 25-year-old ruckman played 18 matches for the Blues and was one of the most sought-after players throughout the season, as his contract was up for renewal at the end of the year. De Koning was a dominant force in the middle and around the ground for Carlton, regularly winning hitouts to give his midfielders first use of the footy. After signing a new two-year deal with the Blues, both the club and fans would love to see him become one of the top ruckmen in the AFL in 2025.

Goals: 11
Position: Defender
Jacob Weitering was another Blue who had a career-best season in 2024, which resulted in him being awarded an All Australian blazer as the full back. Carlton’s co-vice captain was one of the best intercepting defenders in the AFL last season, while also playing 22 of their 24 games throughout the year. If he can play 19 games in 2025, Weitering will bring up his 200th game for the club.

Position: Midfielder
The Blues traded up the AFL Draft order to pick three during the 2024 trade period to secure the services of creative midfielder Jagga Smith. The Oakleigh Chargers ball magnet averaged just under 34 disposals per game during 2024, which led to him being picked for Victoria Metro for the second straight season. Nothing changed for Smith during the Under 18 Championships, as he went on to average 29 touches in his four matches for Vic Metro. The 18-year-old also played three games for the Richmond VFL team, which will help him get ready for AFL life in 2025 and beyond.
