The Blues have played finals in three seasons between 2010-2019, culminating in wins in 2011 and 2013.

Carlton has since finished inside the bottom four in three of the past four years, and are destined to finish there once again this season.

The Blues have had some ups and downs over the past 10 years, but these 10 men have stood tall.

Kade Simpson

Simpson can be defined as the heart and soul of the team. He's hard at the ball, clean with his ball use and he lives and breathes the Carlton Football Club.

Without having the label as captain, etc, he lets his football do the talking, and it shows week in and week out with his consistent performances and being known as Mr. Reliable, even to the present time as he is set to embark on his 18th season next season. Simpson has played 323 games for the Blues over his career going back to 2003, and has continued to be a very solid contributor over his time, where in 2016 he averaged 27.2 disposals per game and was nominated in the All-Australian squad of 40 but was not named in the final 22.

Simpson also finished second in Carlton's best and fairest award behind defender Sam Docherty in 2017. Simpson's consistency over the years has earned his place as a very vital figure for the club.
